Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
As long as you have the courage to admit mistakes, things can be turned around.
Haruki Murakami
What I want is for the two of us to meet somewhere by chance one day, like, passing on the street, or getting on the same bus.
Haruki Murakami
Even if we could turn back, we'd probably never end up where we started.
Haruki Murakami
Mental acuity was never born from comfortable circumstances.
Haruki Murakami
There had to be something wrong with my life. I should have been born a Yugoslavian shepherd who looked up at the Big Dipper every night.
Haruki Murakami
Start making excuses and there's no end to it. I can't live that kind of life.
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
Open your eyes, train your ears, use your head. If a mind you have, then use it while you can.
Haruki Murakami
That's good. I was worried. Of course, I do have a few things wrong with me, but those are strictly problems I keep inside. I'd hate to think they were obvious to anybody else. Especially at the swimming pool in the summer.
