More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting.
Haruki Murakami
If there's any guy crazy enough to attack me, I'm going to show him the end of the world -- close up. I'm going to let him see the kingdom come with his own eyes. I'm going to send him straight to the southern hemisphere and let the ashes of death rain all over him and the kangaroos and the wallabies.
Haruki Murakami
As long as there's such a thing as time, everybody's damaged in the end, changed into something else. It always happens, sooner or later.
Haruki Murakami
Probably. Again with the probablys. A world full of probablys, she said.
Haruki Murakami
Of course you got rights, the law's on your side, but sometimes the law takes a long time to kick in and so it gets put in the hands of us poor suckers on duty. You get my drift?
Haruki Murakami
I'm not afraid to die. What I'm afraid of is having reality get the better of me, of having reality leave me behind.
Haruki Murakami
Who can really distinguish between the sea and what's reflected in it? Or tell the difference between the falling rain and loneliness?
Haruki Murakami
I just wanted to write something about running, but I realized that to write about my running is to write about my writing. It's a parallel thing in me.
Haruki Murakami
Writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.
Haruki Murakami
Overhead, the two moons worked together to bathe the world in a strange light.
Haruki Murakami
Whatever can't be expressed might as well not exist.
Haruki Murakami
Our faces were no more than ten inches apart but she was lightyears away from me.
Haruki Murakami
I saw that she was crying. Before I knew it, I was kissing her. Others on the platform were staring at us, but I didn't care about such things anymore. We were alive, she and I. And all we had to think about was continuing to live.
Haruki Murakami
It's like the Tibetan Wheel of the Passions. As the wheel turns, the values and feelings on the outer rim rise and fall, shining or sinking into darkness. But true love stays fastened to the axle and doesn't move.
Haruki Murakami
The silence grew deeper, so deep that if you listened carefully you might very well catch the sound of the earth revolving on its axis.
Haruki Murakami
What matters is deciding in your heart to accept another person completely. When you do that, it is always the first time and the last.
Haruki Murakami
Knowledge and ability were tools, not things to show off.
Haruki Murakami
I'm the kind of person who has to totally commit to whatever I do.
Haruki Murakami
Music always stimulates my imagination. When I'm writing I usually have some Baroque music on low in the background chamber music by Bach, Telemann, and the like.
Haruki Murakami
That's gotta be one of the principles behind reality. Accepting things that are hard to comprehend, and leaving them that way.
Haruki Murakami
