More quotes by Haruki Murakami
I was thirty-seven then, strapped in my seat as the huge 747 plunged through dense cloud cover on approach to the Hamburg airport.
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 I was chasing in circles must have been the tail of the darkness inside me.
Haruki Murakami
I'm not a fast reader. I like to linger over each sentence, enjoying the style. If I don't enjoy the writing, I stop.
Haruki Murakami
Nobody's easier to fool, than the person who is convinced that he is right.
Haruki Murakami
Some things, you know, if you say them, it makes them not true?
Haruki Murakami
It's true though: time moves in its own special way in the middle of the night, the bartender says, loudly striking a book match and lighting a cigarette. You can't fight it.
Haruki Murakami
That was the rule. Break one of my rules once, and I’m bound to break many more.
Haruki Murakami
Kids' hearts are malleable, but once they gel it's hard to get them back the way they were.
Haruki Murakami
The unwaking world was as hushed as a deep forest.
Haruki Murakami
I’m just kinda tired. Like a monkey in the rain.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
Whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting.
Haruki Murakami
It is a lonely life sometimes, like throwing a stone into the deep darkness. It might hit something, but you can’t see it. The only thing you can do is to guess, and to believe.
Haruki Murakami
Love can rebuild the world, they say, so everything's possible when it comes to love.
Haruki Murakami
I may be the type who manages to grab all the pointless things in life but lets the really important things slip away.
Haruki Murakami
I just wanted to write something about running, but I realized that to write about my running is to write about my writing. It's a parallel thing in me.
Haruki Murakami
it occurred to me what a simple thing reality is, how easy it is to make it work. It's just reality. Just housework. Just a home. Like running a simple machine. Once you learn to run it, it's just a matter of repetition. You push this button and pull that lever. You adjust a gauge, put on the lid, set the timer. The same thing, over and over.
Haruki Murakami
We each have a special something we can get only at a special time of our life. like a small flame. A careful, fortunate few cherish that flame, nurture it, hold it as a torch to light their way. But once that flame goes out, it’s gone forever.
Haruki Murakami
Most runners run not because they want to live longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest.
Haruki Murakami
