When I wake up, my pillow’s cold and damp with tears. But tears for what? I have no idea.
Haruki Murakami
It made her think of Laika, the dog. The man-made satellite streaking soundlessly across the blackness of outer space. The dark, lustrous eyes of the dog gazing out the tiny window. In the infinite loneliness of space, what could the dog possibly be looking at?
Haruki Murakami
It's true that at the time I was fond of Kurt Vonnegut and Richard Brautigan, and it was from them that I learned about this kind of simple, swift-paced style, but the main reason for the style of my first novel is that I simply did not have the time to write sustained prose.
Haruki Murakami
Understanding is but the sum of misunderstandings.
Haruki Murakami
Distance might not solve anything, no matter how far you run.
Haruki Murakami

But I found that the longer you teach, the more you feel like a total stranger to yourself
Haruki Murakami
But didn't you say you were satisfied with your life? Word games, I dismissed. Every army needs a flag.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn’t worry about it.
Haruki Murakami
I'm kind of a low-key guy. The spotlight doesn't suit me. I'm more of a side dish--cole slaw or French fries or a Wham! backup singer.
Haruki Murakami
Life might just be an absurd, even crude, chain of events and nothing more.
Haruki Murakami
You know what I should do? Hoshino asked excited. Of course, the cat said. What'd I tell you? Cats know everything. Not like dogs.
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
Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.
Haruki Murakami
The ocean was one of the greatest things he had ever seen in his life—bigger and deeper than anything he had imagined. It changed its color and shape and expression according to time and place and weather. It aroused a deep sadness in his heart, and at the same time it brought his heart peace and comfort.
Haruki Murakami
If you want to talk about something new, you have to make up a new kind of language.
Haruki Murakami
There had to be something wrong with my life. I should have been born a Yugoslavian shepherd who looked up at the Big Dipper every night.
Haruki Murakami
I'm always tripped up by the eternal who am I?
Haruki Murakami
