More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Maybe the only thing I can definitely say about is this: That’s life. Maybe the only thing we can do is accept it, without really knowing what’s going on.
Haruki Murakami
You live by yourself for a stretch of time and you get to staring at different objects. Sometimes you talk to yourself. You take meals in crowded joints. You develop an intimate relationship with your used Subaru. You slowly but surely become a has-been.
Haruki Murakami
A friend to kill time is a friend sublime.
Haruki Murakami
People with dark souls have nothing but dark dreams. People with really dark souls do nothing but dream.
Haruki Murakami
Irrepressible curiosity vied with an instinctive fear.
Haruki Murakami
I'm all alone, but I'm not lonely.
Haruki Murakami

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
Everyone who has something is afraid of losing it, and people with nothing are worried they'll forever have nothing. Everyone is the same.
Haruki Murakami
I had my jazz club and I had enough money. So I didn't have to write for my living.
Haruki Murakami
You can keep as quiet as you like, but one of these days somebody is going to find you.
Haruki Murakami
I can't build a simple shelf. I have no idea how to change an oil filter on a car. I can't even stick a stamp on an envelope straight. And I'm always dialling the wrong number. But I have come up with a few original cocktails that people seem to like.
Haruki Murakami
To be able to grasp something of value, sometimes you have to perform seemingly inefficient acts.
Haruki Murakami
Some things, you know, if you say them, it makes them not true?
Haruki Murakami
Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most.
Haruki Murakami
Everyone just keeps on disappearing. Some things vanish, like they were cut away. Others fade slowly into the mist. And all that remains is a desert.
Haruki Murakami
