More quotes by Haruki Murakami
With each passing moment I'm becoming part of the past. There is no future for me, just the past steadily accumulating.
Haruki Murakami
We were, the two of us, still fragmentary beings, just beginning to sense the presence of an unexpected, to be-aquired reality that would fill us and make us whole.
Haruki Murakami
Sometimes we don't need words. Rather, it's words that need us.
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
Two-thirds of earth's surface is ocean, and all we can see with the naked eye is the surface.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
In traveling, a companion, in life, compassion.
Haruki Murakami
Even if you managed to escape from one cage, weren't you just in another, larger one?
Haruki Murakami
Lots of different ways to live and lots of different ways to die. But in the end that doesn't make a bit of difference. All that remains is a desert.
Haruki Murakami
But I found that the longer you teach, the more you feel like a total stranger to yourself
Haruki Murakami
The world would be a pretty dull place if it were made up only of the first-rate, right?
Haruki Murakami
To be able to grasp something of value, sometimes you have to perform seemingly inefficient acts.
Haruki Murakami
My point is: in this whole wide world the only person you can depend on is you.
Haruki Murakami
If you listen to the radio for a whole hour there's maybe one decent song. The rest is mass-produced garbage
Haruki Murakami
Music always stimulates my imagination. When I'm writing I usually have some Baroque music on low in the background chamber music by Bach, Telemann, and the like.
Haruki Murakami
Our hearts are not stones. A stone may disintegrate in time and lose its outward form. But hearts never disintegrate. They have no outward form, and whether good or evil, we can always communicate them to one another.
Haruki Murakami
A friend to kill time is a friend sublime.
Haruki Murakami
People want to be bowled over by something special. Nine times out of ten you might strike out, but that tenth time, that peak experience, is what people want. That's what can move the world. That's art.
Haruki Murakami
I saw that she was crying. Before I knew it, I was kissing her. Others on the platform were staring at us, but I didn't care about such things anymore. We were alive, she and I. And all we had to think about was continuing to live.
Haruki Murakami
