Haruki Murakami
Fairness is a concept that holds only in limited situations. Yet we want the concept to extend to everything, in and out of phase. From snails to hardware stores to married life. Maybe no one finds it, or even misses it, but fairness is like love. What is given has nothing to do with what we seek.
Haruki Murakami
When I wake up, my pillow’s cold and damp with tears. But tears for what? I have no idea.
Haruki Murakami
Life: I'll never understand it.
Haruki Murakami

Mental acuity was never born from comfortable circumstances.
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
