More quotes by Haruki Murakami
After all this, I won't start to hate you.
Haruki Murakami
Where I went in my travels, it's impossible for me to recall. I remember the sights and sounds and smells clearly enough, but the names of the towns are gone, as well as any sense of the order in which I traveled from place to place.
Haruki Murakami
How wonderful it is to be able to write someone a letter! To feel like conveying your thoughts to a person, to sit at your desk and pick up a pen, to put your thoughts into words like this is truly marvelous.
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
People leave strange little memories of themselves behind when they die.
Haruki Murakami
It seems to me, though, that you always understand very well what I can't say very well. Trouble is I end up being even worse at saying things well.
Haruki Murakami
A person's last moments are an important thing. You can't choose how you're born but you can choose how you die.
Haruki Murakami
The passage of time will usually extract the venom of most things and render them harmless
Haruki Murakami
A strange, terrific force unlike anything I've ever experienced is sprouting in my heart, taking root there, growing. Shut up behind my rib cage, my warm heart expands and contracts independent of my will--over and over.
Haruki Murakami
Maybe working on the little things as dutifully and honestly as we can is how we stay sane when the world is falling apart.
Haruki Murakami
Don't you think it would be wonderful to get rid of everything and everybody and just go some place where you don't know a soul?
Haruki Murakami
Writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.
Haruki Murakami
For some reason all the middle-aged women he knew were very efficient.
Haruki Murakami
Who can really distinguish between the sea and what's reflected in it? Or tell the difference between the falling rain and loneliness?
Haruki Murakami
You have to make an effort to always look at the good side, always think about the good things. Then you've got nothing to be afraid of. If something bad comes up, you do more thinking at that point.
Haruki Murakami
I move, therefore I am.
Haruki Murakami
In the spring of her twenty-second year, Sumire fell in love for the first time in her life.
Haruki Murakami
The answer is dreams. Dreaming on and on. Entering the world of dreams and never coming out. Living in dreams for the rest of time.
Haruki Murakami
So what’s wrong if there happens to be one guy in the world who enjoys trying to understand you?
Haruki Murakami
As long as an individual's alive, he will undergo experience in some form or other, and those experiences are stored up instant by instant. To stop experiencin' is to die.
