Haruki Murakami
You have to be practical. So every time I say, if you want to write a novel you have to be practical, people get bored. They are disappointed. They are expecting a more dynamic, creative, artistic thing to say. What I want to say is: you have to be practical.
Haruki Murakami

That's the kind of death that frightens me. The shadow of death slowly, slowly eats away at the region of life, and before you know it everything's dark and you can't see, and the people around you think of you as more dead than alive.
Haruki Murakami
Nobody's easier to fool, than the person who is convinced that he is right.
Haruki Murakami
That’s what love’s all about. You’re the only one having those wonderful feelings, but you have to go it alone as you wander through the dark your mind and body have to bear it all. All by yourself.
Haruki Murakami
One last word of advice, though, Mr. Okada, though you may not want to hear this. There are things in this world it is better not to know about. Of course, those are the very things that people most want to know about. It's strange.
Haruki Murakami
In the spring of her twenty-second year, Sumire fell in love for the first time in her life.
Haruki Murakami
I'm all alone, but I'm not lonely.
Haruki Murakami
You make do with what you have. As you age you learn even to be happy with what you have.
Haruki Murakami
That's gotta be one of the principles behind reality. Accepting things that are hard to comprehend, and leaving them that way.
Haruki Murakami
What was lost was lost. There was no retrieving it, however you schemed, no returning to how things were, no going back.
Haruki Murakami
If you do anything out of the ordinary, you can be sure someone, somewhere, will get upset.
Haruki Murakami
