More quotes by 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
It is hard to be an individual in Japan.
Haruki Murakami
Maybe it's just hiding somewhere. Or gone on a trip to come home. But falling in love is always a pretty crazy thing. It might appear out of the blue and just grab you. Who knows — maybe even tomorrow.
Haruki Murakami
The worst thoughts usually strike in the dead of the night.
Haruki Murakami
Whatever can't be expressed might as well not exist.
Haruki Murakami
You can keep as quiet as you like, but one of these days somebody is going to find you.
Haruki Murakami
Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits: that's the essence of running, and a metaphor for life
Haruki Murakami
I don’t know, I don’t feel right unless I’ve got the sea and mountains nearby. People are mostly a product of where they were born and raised. How you think and feel’s always linked to the lay of the land, the temperature. The prevailing winds, even.
Haruki Murakami
But I found that the longer you teach, the more you feel like a total stranger to yourself
Haruki Murakami
I'm not so weird to me.
Haruki Murakami
Nature is actually unnatural
Haruki Murakami
I think people who share my dreams can enjoy reading my novels. And that's a wonderful thing. I said that myths are like a reservoir of stories, and if I can act as a similar kind of reservoir, albeit a modest one, that would make me very happy.
Haruki Murakami
Every day I go to my study and sit at my desk and put the computer on. At that moment, I have to open the door. It's a big, heavy door. You have to go into the Other Room. Metaphorically, of course. And you have to come back to this side of the room. And you have to shut the door.
Haruki Murakami
Wherever there's hope there's a trial.
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
We're all kind of weird and twisted and drowning.
Haruki Murakami
Before I became a writer, I was running a jazz bar in the center of Tokyo, which means that I worked in filthy air all the time late into the night. I was very excited when I started making a living out of my writing, and I decided, 'I will live in nothing but an absolutely healthy way.'
Haruki Murakami
What I'd like to be is a unique writer who's different from everybody else. I want to be a writer who tells stories unlike other writers'.
Haruki Murakami
Between the time the last train leaves and the first train arrives, the place changes: it's not the same as in daytime.
Haruki Murakami
I have no models in Japanese literature. I created my own style, my own way.
Haruki Murakami
