Haruki Murakami
Life's no piece of cake, mind you, but the recipe's my own to fool with.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
She was a keen observer, a precise user of language, sharp-tongued and funny. She could stir your emotions. Yes, really, that's what she was so good at - stirring people's emotions, moving you. And she knew she had this power...I only realized later. At the time, I had no idea what she was doing to me.
Haruki Murakami

Nothing so consumes a person as meaningless exertion
Haruki Murakami
I have a million things to talk to you about. All I want in this world is you. I want to see you and talk. I want the two of us to begin everything from the beginning.
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
Whatever can't be expressed might as well not exist.
Haruki Murakami
They put up with such strenuous training, and where did their thoughts, their hopes and dreams, disappear to? When people pass away, do their thoughts just vanish?
Haruki Murakami
Everything in life is a metaphor.
Haruki Murakami
The good thing about writing book is that you can dream while you are awake.
Haruki Murakami
We're both looking at the same moon, in the same world. We're connected to reality by the same line. All I have to do is quietly draw it towards me.
Haruki Murakami
The better you were able to imagine what you wanted to imagine, the farther you could flee from reality.
Haruki Murakami
This was never any place I was meant to be. This isn’t a place for me.
Haruki Murakami
You have to make an effort to always look at the good side, always think about the good things. Then you've got nothing to be afraid of. If something bad comes up, you do more thinking at that point.
Haruki Murakami
