More quotes by Haruki Murakami
She was a keen observer, a precise user of language, sharp-tongued and funny. She could stir your emotions. Yes, really, that's what she was so good at - stirring people's emotions, moving you. And she knew she had this power...I only realized later. At the time, I had no idea what she was doing to me.
Haruki Murakami
Whiskey, like a beautiful woman, demands appreciation. You gaze first, then it's time to drink.
Haruki Murakami
As long as I was alive, I was something. That was just how it was. But somewhere along the way it all changed. Living turned me into nothing.
Haruki Murakami
A friend to kill time is a friend sublime.
Haruki Murakami
Life is not like water. Things in life don't necessarily flow over the shortest possible route.
Haruki Murakami
If only I could fall sound asleep and wake up in my old reality!
Haruki Murakami
it occurred to me what a simple thing reality is, how easy it is to make it work. It's just reality. Just housework. Just a home. Like running a simple machine. Once you learn to run it, it's just a matter of repetition. You push this button and pull that lever. You adjust a gauge, put on the lid, set the timer. The same thing, over and over.
Haruki Murakami
I've run the Boston Marathon 6 times before. I think the best aspects of the marathon are the beautiful changes of the scenery along the route and the warmth of the people's support. I feel happier every time I enter this marathon.
Haruki Murakami
It was a small room with dim light coming in the window, reminiscent of old Polish films.
Haruki Murakami
I love pop culture -- the Rolling Stones, the Doors, David Lynch, things like that. That's why I said I don't like elitism.
Haruki Murakami
If you're in pitch blackness, all you can do is sit tight until your eyes get used to the dark.
Haruki Murakami
Team sports aren't my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you don't need a partner to go running, you don't need a particular place, like in tennis, just a pair of trainers.
Haruki Murakami
Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who's in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It's like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven't seen in a long time.
Haruki Murakami
Most runners run not because they want to live longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest.
Haruki Murakami
Life's no piece of cake, mind you, but the recipe's my own to fool with.
Haruki Murakami
Maybe working on the little things as dutifully and honestly as we can is how we stay sane when the world is falling apart.
Haruki Murakami
I wondered if she was trying to convey something to me, something she could not put into words - something prior to words that she could not grasp within herself and which therefore had no hope of ever turning into words.
Haruki Murakami
Don't let appearances fool you. There's always only one reality!
Haruki Murakami
This was never any place I was meant to be. This isn’t a place for me.
Haruki Murakami
My very existence, my life in the world, seemed like a hallucination. A strong wind would make me think my body was about to be blown to the end of the earth, to some land I had never seen or heard of, where my mind and body would separate forever. “Hold tight,” I would tell myself, but there was nothing for me to hold on to.
Haruki Murakami
