More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Writers have to keep on writing if they want to mature, like caterpillars endlessly chewing on leaves.
Haruki Murakami
Wherever there's hope there's a trial.
Haruki Murakami
No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself.
Haruki Murakami
Between the time the last train leaves and the first train arrives, the place changes: it's not the same as in daytime.
Haruki Murakami
You can hide memories, but you can’t erase the history that produced them.
Haruki Murakami
To know one’s own state is not a simple matter. One cannot look directly at one’s own face with one’s own eyes, for example. One has no choice but to look at one’s reflection in the mirror. Through experience, we come to believe that the image is correct, but that is all.
Haruki Murakami
Time flows in a strange way on Sundays.
Haruki Murakami
Did you ever see anyone shot by a gun without bleeding?
Haruki Murakami
That's good. I was worried. Of course, I do have a few things wrong with me, but those are strictly problems I keep inside. I'd hate to think they were obvious to anybody else. Especially at the swimming pool in the summer.
Haruki Murakami
Most everything you think you know about me is nothing more than memories.
Haruki Murakami
I dream. Sometimes I think that’s the only right thing to do. To dream, to live in the world of dreams. But it doesn’t last forever. Wakefulness always comes to take me back.
Haruki Murakami
The world would be a pretty dull place if it were made up only of the first-rate, right?
Haruki Murakami
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.
Haruki Murakami
I may not be the most likable person in the world, but I try not to upset people.
Haruki Murakami
All imperfections are forced upon the imperfect, so the 'perfect' can live content and oblivious.
Haruki Murakami
In his own way, he's lived life with all the intensity he could muster.
Haruki Murakami
Everything in life is a metaphor.
Haruki Murakami
Like you're riding a train at night across some vast plain, and you catch a glimpse of a tiny light in a window of a farmhouse. In an instant it's sucked back into the darkness behind and vanishes. But if you close your eyes, that point of light stays with you, just barely for a few moments.
Haruki Murakami
The years nineteen and twenty are a crucial stage in the maturation of character, and if you allow yourself to become warped when you're that age, it will cause you pain when you're older.
Haruki Murakami
I am a flawed human being - a far more flawed human being than you realize.
Haruki Murakami
