More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most.
Haruki Murakami
I want to write about people who dream and wait for the night to end, who long for the light so they can hold the ones they love.
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
In a place far away from anyone or anywhere, I drifted off for a moment.
Haruki Murakami
Gazing at the rain, I consider what it means to belong, to become part of something. To have someone cry for me.
Haruki Murakami
Concentration is one of the happiest things in my life.
Haruki Murakami
I didn't want to be a writer, but I became one. And now I have many readers, in many countries. I think that's a miracle. So I think I have to be humble regarding this ability. I'm proud of it and I enjoy it, and it is strange to say it this way, but I respect it.
Haruki Murakami
I'm not afraid to die. What I'm afraid of is having reality get the better of me, of having reality leave me behind.
Haruki Murakami
Have you ever had that feeling—that you’d like to go to a whole different place and become a whole different self?
Haruki Murakami
We're all kind of weird and twisted and drowning.
Haruki Murakami
I always feel like I'm struggling to become someone else. Like I'm trying to find a new place, grab hold of a new life, a new personality. I guess it's part of growing up it's also an attempt to reinvent myself.
Haruki Murakami
Find me now. Before someone else does.
Haruki Murakami
Nothing so consumes a person as meaningless exertion
Haruki Murakami
Hatsumi had a pretty good idea that Nagasawa was sleeping around, but she never complained to him. She was seriously in love with him, but she never made demands. 'I don't deserve a girl like Hatsumi,' Nagasawa once said to me. I had to agree with him.
Haruki Murakami
While they're still alive, people can become ghosts.
Haruki Murakami
For novelists or musicians, if they really want to create something, they need to go downstairs and find a passage to get into the second basement. What I want to do is go down there, but still stay sane.
Haruki Murakami
Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.
Haruki Murakami
Myths are the prototype for all stories. When we write a story on our own it can't help but link up with all sorts of myths. Myths are like a reservoir containing every story there is.
Haruki Murakami
People need routines. It's like a theme in music. But it also restrictsyour thoughts and actions and limits your freedom. It structures your priorities and in some cases distorts your logic.
Haruki Murakami
Writers have to keep on writing if they want to mature, like caterpillars endlessly chewing on leaves.
Haruki Murakami
