Haruki Murakami
That’s how stories happen — with a turning point, an unexpected twist. There’s only one kind of happiness, but misfortune comes in all shapes and sizes. It’s like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
Haruki Murakami
What's nurtured slowly grows well.
Haruki Murakami
I'm a writer. I don't support any war. That's my principle.
