More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.
Haruki Murakami
Gazing at the rain, I consider what it means to belong, to become part of something. To have someone cry for me.
Haruki Murakami
Memory is like fiction or else it's fiction that's like memory.
Haruki Murakami
But what seems like a reasonable distance to one person might feel too far to somebody else.
Haruki Murakami
Colours shone with exceptional clarity in the rain. The ground was a deep black, the pine branches a brilliant green, the people wrapped in yellow looking like special spirits that were allowed to wander over the earth on rainy mornings only.
Haruki Murakami
My grandpa always said asking a question is embarrassing for a moment, but not asking is embarrassing for a lifetime.
Haruki Murakami
When the fire goes out, you'll start feeling the cold. You'll wake up whether you want to or not.
Haruki Murakami
When people tell a lie about something, they have to make up a bunch of lies to go with the first one. ‘Mythomania’ is the word for it.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.
Haruki Murakami
Irrepressible curiosity vied with an instinctive fear.
Haruki Murakami
That's the kind of death that frightens me. The shadow of death slowly, slowly eats away at the region of life, and before you know it everything's dark and you can't see, and the people around you think of you as more dead than alive.
Haruki Murakami
All things in my novels are real for me. Some western critics said that Garcia Marquez's novels are magic realism. However, I believe that Marquez must have experienced everything in his novels.
Haruki Murakami
How wonderful it is to be able to write someone a letter! To feel like conveying your thoughts to a person, to sit at your desk and pick up a pen, to put your thoughts into words like this is truly marvelous.
Haruki Murakami
You're afraid of imagination and even more afraid of dreams. Afraid of the resposibility that begins in dreams. But you have to sleep and dreams are a part of sleep. When you're awake you can suppress imagination but you can't supress dreams.
Haruki Murakami
We all die and disappear, but that's because the mechanism of the world itself is built on destruction and loss.
Haruki Murakami
Death leaves cans of shaving cream half-used.
Haruki Murakami
Most everything you think you know about me is nothing more than memories.
Haruki Murakami
Most human activities are predicated on the assumption that life goes on. If you take that premise away, what is there left?
Haruki Murakami
