More quotes by Haruki Murakami
I saw that she was crying. Before I knew it, I was kissing her. Others on the platform were staring at us, but I didn't care about such things anymore. We were alive, she and I. And all we had to think about was continuing to live.
Haruki Murakami
I think certain types of processes don’t allow for any variation. If you have to be part of that process, all you can do is transform—or perhaps distort—yourself through that persistent repetition, and make that process a part of your own personality.
Haruki Murakami
Possibilities are like cancer. The more I think about them, the more they multiply, and there's no way to stop them. I'm out of control.
Haruki Murakami
Exerting yourself to the limit over and over again, that is the essence of running. Running is painful, but the pain doesn't leave me, I can take care of it. That agrees with my mentality.
Haruki Murakami
There are three ways you can get along with a girl: one, shut up and listen to what she has to say two, tell her you like what she's wearing and three, treat her to really good food...If you do all that and still don't get the results you want, better give up.
Haruki Murakami
Loneliness becomes an acid that eats away at you.
Haruki Murakami
People with dark souls have nothing but dark dreams. People with really dark souls do nothing but dream.
Haruki Murakami
My arm was not what she needed, but the arm of someone else. My warmth was not what she needed, but the warmth of someone else.
Haruki Murakami
Some things in life are too complicated to explain in any language.
Haruki Murakami
Music always stimulates my imagination. When I'm writing I usually have some Baroque music on low in the background chamber music by Bach, Telemann, and the like.
Haruki Murakami
Nothing in the real world is as beautiful as the illusions of a person about to lose consciousness.
Haruki Murakami
The passage of time will usually extract the venom of most things and render them harmless
Haruki Murakami
Kids' hearts are malleable, but once they gel it's hard to get them back the way they were.
Haruki Murakami
The better you were able to imagine what you wanted to imagine, the farther you could flee from reality.
Haruki Murakami
Who can really distinguish between the sea and what's reflected in it? Or tell the difference between the falling rain and loneliness?
Haruki Murakami
She was, if anything, on the plain side, at least not the type to attract men wherever she went. But there was something in her face that was meant for me alone. Everytime we met, I took a good look at her. And loved what I saw.
Haruki Murakami
Most people are not looking for provable truths. As you said, truth is often accompanied by intense pain, and almost no one is looking for painful truths. What people need is beautiful, comforting stories that make them feel as if their lives have some meaning. Which is where religion comes from.
Haruki Murakami
Now for a good twelve-hour sleep, I told myself. Twelve solid hours. Let birds sing, let people go to work. Somewhere out there, a volcano might blow, Israeli commandos might decimate a Palestinian village. I couldn't stop it. I was going to sleep.
Haruki Murakami
I'm the kind of person who has to totally commit to whatever I do.
Haruki Murakami
What's nurtured slowly grows well.
