More quotes by Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
The Earth, time, concepts, love, life, faith justice, evil - they're all fluid and in transition. They don't stay in one form or in one place forever. The whole universe is like some big FedEx box.

Haruki Murakami
Whatever can't be expressed might as well not exist.
Haruki Murakami
She was a keen observer, a precise user of language, sharp-tongued and funny. She could stir your emotions. Yes, really, that's what she was so good at - stirring people's emotions, moving you. And she knew she had this power...I only realized later. At the time, I had no idea what she was doing to me.
Haruki Murakami
To be able to talk to your heart’s content about a book you like with someone who feels the same way about it is one of the greatest joys that life can offer.
Haruki Murakami
But I didn't understand then. That I could hurt somebody so badly she would never recover. That a person can, just by living, damage another human being beyond repair.
Haruki Murakami
People soon get tired of things that aren't boring, but not of what is boring.
Haruki Murakami
It is hard to be an individual in Japan.
Haruki Murakami
Have you ever had that feeling—that you’d like to go to a whole different place and become a whole different self?
Haruki Murakami
Everything. Things you lost. Things you’re gonna lose. Everything. Here’s where it all ties together.
Haruki Murakami
