Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
It's all matter of attitude. You could let a lot of things bother you if you wanted to But it's pretty much the same anywhere you go, you can manage.

Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
It's a terrible thing when a person dies, whatever the circumstances. A hole opens up in the world, and we need to pay the proper respects. If we don't, the hole will never be filled in again.
Haruki Murakami
The pillow smells like the sunlight, a precious smell.
Haruki Murakami
I'm a coward when it comes to matters of the heart. That is my fatal flaw.
Haruki Murakami
Everything in life is a metaphor.
Haruki Murakami
I contented myself with whiskey, for medicinal purposes. It helped numb my various aches and pains. Not that the alcohol actually reduced the pain it just gave the pain a life of its own, apart from mine.
Haruki Murakami
A state of chronic powerlessness eats away at a person
Haruki Murakami
That's how people live in the real world: forcing stuff on each other.
Haruki Murakami
Everything. Things you lost. Things you’re gonna lose. Everything. Here’s where it all ties together.
Haruki Murakami
But still, Ayumi said, it seems to me that this world has a serious shortage of both logic and kindness. You may be right, Aomame said, But it's too late to trade it in for another one.
Haruki Murakami
A theory is a battlefield in your head.
Haruki Murakami
I think certain types of processes don’t allow for any variation. If you have to be part of that process, all you can do is transform—or perhaps distort—yourself through that persistent repetition, and make that process a part of your own personality.
Haruki Murakami
I happen to like the strange ones. People who look normal and leads normal lives - they're the ones you have to watch out for.
Haruki Murakami
