More quotes by Haruki Murakami
There are lots of things we never understand, no matter how many years we put on, no matter how much experience we accumulate.
Haruki Murakami
It's just like sex when [a book is] finished, it's finished.
Haruki Murakami
There's an essential order you have to follow in everything. It's a way of showing respect, following everything in the correct order.
Haruki Murakami
What we seek is some kind of compensation for what we put up with.
Haruki Murakami
People with dark souls have nothing but dark dreams. People with really dark souls do nothing but dream.
Haruki Murakami
Is this what it means to go back to square one? Most likely. He had nothing left to lose, other than his life.
Haruki Murakami
I'm not going to get involved in a debate with you. Just remember this: the gods give, and the gods take away. Even if you are not aware of having been granted what you posses, the gods remember what they gave you. They don't forget a thing. You should use the abilities you have been granted with the utmost care.
Haruki Murakami
This is what it means to live on. When granted hope, a person uses it as fuel, as a guidepost to life. It is impossible to live without hope.
Haruki Murakami
Ordinary imperfect people, always choose similarly imperfect people as friends.
Haruki Murakami
Adults need more complex narratives. They have their own narratives. The main characters are themselves.
Haruki Murakami
Sometimes when I'm with you, I remember things I lost when I was your age. Like I remember the sound of the rain and the smell of the wind.
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
I used to think the years would go by in order, that you get older one year at a time. But it's not like that. It happens overnight.
Haruki Murakami
There had to be something wrong with my life. I should have been born a Yugoslavian shepherd who looked up at the Big Dipper every night.
Haruki Murakami
Colours shone with exceptional clarity in the rain. The ground was a deep black, the pine branches a brilliant green, the people wrapped in yellow looking like special spirits that were allowed to wander over the earth on rainy mornings only.
Haruki Murakami
Good style happens in one of two ways: the writer either has an inborn talent or is willing to work herself to death to get it.
Haruki Murakami
A deserted library in the morning - there's something about it that really gets to me. All possible words and ideas are there, resting peacefully.
Haruki Murakami
Potentiality knocks on the door of my heart. [On Seeing The 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning ]
Haruki Murakami
I collect records. And cats. I don't have any cats right now. But if I'm taking a walk and I see a cat, I'm happy.
Haruki Murakami
The most dangerous creature here would have to be me. So maybe I'm just scared of my own shadow.
