More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Lots of different ways to live and lots of different ways to die. But in the end that doesn't make a bit of difference. All that remains is a desert.
Haruki Murakami
Every day I go to my study and sit at my desk and put the computer on. At that moment, I have to open the door. It's a big, heavy door. You have to go into the Other Room. Metaphorically, of course. And you have to come back to this side of the room. And you have to shut the door.
Haruki Murakami
It was a small room with dim light coming in the window, reminiscent of old Polish films.
Haruki Murakami
Whoa! he says with a smile. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepen. Chicken salad a la George Orwell!
Haruki Murakami
You can hide as cleverly as you like, but in the final analysis mimicry is deception, pure and simple. It doesn't solve a thing.
Haruki Murakami
They put up with such strenuous training, and where did their thoughts, their hopes and dreams, disappear to? When people pass away, do their thoughts just vanish?
Haruki Murakami
I write my novels personally, desperately and non-negligently. When I write my novels, I think about my novels only, and never do other works.
Haruki Murakami
I have a million things to talk to you about. All I want in this world is you. I want to see you and talk. I want the two of us to begin everything from the beginning.
Haruki Murakami
In everybody’s life there’s a point of no return. And in a very few cases, a point where you can’t go forward anymore. And when we reach that point, all we can do is quietly accept the fact. That’s how we survive.
Haruki Murakami
I want to write about people who dream and wait for the night to end, who long for the light so they can hold the ones they love.
Haruki Murakami
There's no such thing as perfect writing, just like there's no such thing as perfect despair.
Haruki Murakami
Things may look different to you than they did before. I've had that experience myself. But don't let appearances fool you. There's only one reality.
Haruki Murakami
The world is an inherently unfair place.
Haruki Murakami
I am worrying about my country. I feel I have a responsibility as a novelist to do something.
Haruki Murakami
What do you think? I'm not a starfish or a pepper tree. I'm a living, breathing human being. Of course I've been in love.
Haruki Murakami
With luck, it might even snow for us.
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
No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.
Haruki Murakami
Irrepressible curiosity vied with an instinctive fear.
Haruki Murakami
Confidence as a teenager? Because I knew what I loved. I loved to read I loved to listen to music and I love cats. Those three things. So, even though I was an only kid, I could be happy because I knew what I loved.
Haruki Murakami
