More quotes by Haruki Murakami
What I was chasing in circles must have been the tail of the darkness inside me.
Haruki Murakami
No matter what you tell me, no matter how legitimate your reasons, I can never just forget about you, I can never push the years we spent together out of my mind. I can't do it because it really happened, they are part of my life, and there is no way I can just erase them. That would be the same as erasing my own self.
Haruki Murakami
What I'd like to be is a unique writer who's different from everybody else. I want to be a writer who tells stories unlike other writers'.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
Certain kinds of knowledge rob people of their sleep.
Haruki Murakami
I didn't feel like I was in my own body my body was just a lonely, temporary container I happened to be borrowing.
Haruki Murakami
But I didn't understand then. That I could hurt somebody so badly she would never recover. That a person can, just by living, damage another human being beyond repair.
Haruki Murakami
We're all kind of weird and twisted and drowning.
Haruki Murakami
Have books ‘happened’ to you? Unless your answer to that question is ‘yes,’ I’m unsure how to talk to you
Haruki Murakami
But metaphors help eliminate what separates you and me.
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
I am nothing. I’m like someone who’s been thrown into the ocean at night, floating all alone. I reach out, but no one is there. I call out, but no one answers. I have no connection to anything.
Haruki Murakami
It was spring break, so the theater was always packed with high schools students. It was an animal house. I wanted to burn the place down.
Haruki Murakami
You always look so cool, like no matter what happens, it’s got nothing to do with you, but you’re not really like that. In your own way, you’re out there fighting as hard as you can, even if other people can’t tell by looking at you.
Haruki Murakami
