Quote

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.

Image
I think people who share my dreams can enjoy reading my novels. And that's a wonderful thing. I said that myths are like a reservoir of stories, and if I can act as a similar kind of reservoir, albeit a modest one, that would make me very happy.

So I made up my mind I was going to find someone who would love me unconditionally three hundred and sixty-five days a year. Watanabe: Wow, and did your search pay off? M: That's the hard part. I guess I've been waiting so long I'm looking for perfection. That makes it tough.

Haruki Murakami
Image
I collect records. And cats. I don't have any cats right now. But if I'm taking a walk and I see a cat, I'm happy.
Haruki Murakami
Image
But I didn't understand then. That I could hurt somebody so badly she would never recover. That a person can, just by living, damage another human being beyond repair.
Haruki Murakami
Image
Open your eyes, train your ears, use your head. If a mind you have, then use it while you can.
Haruki Murakami
Image
Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts.
Haruki Murakami

Nobody's easier to fool, than the person who is convinced that he is right.

Image
When people tell a lie about something, they have to make up a bunch of lies to go with the first one. ‘Mythomania’ is the word for it.
Haruki Murakami
Image
It's a terrible thing when a person dies, whatever the circumstances. A hole opens up in the world, and we need to pay the proper respects. If we don't, the hole will never be filled in again.

The answer is dreams. Dreaming on and on. Entering the world of dreams and never coming out. Living in dreams for the rest of time.

I'm a coward when it comes to matters of the heart. That is my fatal flaw.
