But I found that the longer you teach, the more you feel like a total stranger to yourself
Haruki Murakami
Sometimes I wonder why I'm a novelist right now. There is no definite career reason why I became a writer. Something happened, and I became a writer. And now I'm a successful writer.
Haruki Murakami
But didn't you say you were satisfied with your life? Word games, I dismissed. Every army needs a flag.
Haruki Murakami
A state of chronic powerlessness eats away at a person
Haruki Murakami
What we seek is some kind of compensation for what we put up with.
Haruki Murakami
I write my novels personally, desperately and non-negligently. When I write my novels, I think about my novels only, and never do other works.
Haruki Murakami
Nature is actually unnatural
Haruki Murakami
The worst thoughts usually strike in the dead of the night.
Haruki Murakami
The light of morning decomposes everything.
