More quotes by Haruki Murakami
With luck, it might even snow for us.
Haruki Murakami
If you keep on writing for three years, every day, you should be strong. Of course, you have to be strong mentally, also. But in the first place, you have to be strong physically. That is a very important thing. Physically and mentally you have to be strong.
Haruki Murakami
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Say you’re running and you think, ‘Man, this hurts, I can’t take it anymore. The ‘hurt’ part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.
Haruki Murakami
Fate seems to be taking me in some even stranger directions.
Haruki Murakami
I don't know -- maybe the world has two different kinds of people, and for one kind the world is this completely logical, rice pudding place, and for the other it's all hit-or-miss macaroni gratin.
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
His heart, like mine, was ticking off the time allotted to his small restless body.
Haruki Murakami
I don’t know, I don’t feel right unless I’ve got the sea and mountains nearby. People are mostly a product of where they were born and raised. How you think and feel’s always linked to the lay of the land, the temperature. The prevailing winds, even.
Haruki Murakami
What gave money its true meaning was its dark-night namelessness, its breathtaking interchangeability.
Haruki Murakami
Understanding is but the sum of misunderstandings.
Haruki Murakami
As long as you have the courage to admit mistakes, things can be turned around.
Haruki Murakami
Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.
Haruki Murakami
Passion can’t sustain itself forever.
Haruki Murakami
Killing time is not an easy job.
Haruki Murakami
I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all.
Haruki Murakami
Either I'm funny or the world's funny. I don't know which. The bottle and lid don't fit. It could be the bottle's fault or the lid's fault. In either case, there's no denying that the fit is bad.
Haruki Murakami
In dreams begins responsiblities.
Haruki Murakami
I'm not a fast reader. I like to linger over each sentence, enjoying the style. If I don't enjoy the writing, I stop.
Haruki Murakami
I had my jazz club and I had enough money. So I didn't have to write for my living.
Haruki Murakami
It's hard to tell the difference between sea and sky, between voyager and sea. Between reality and the workings of the heart.
Haruki Murakami
