More quotes by Haruki Murakami
What I was chasing in circles must have been the tail of the darkness inside me.
Haruki Murakami
I have no models in Japanese literature. I created my own style, my own way.
Haruki Murakami
But knowing what I don’t want to do doesn’t help me figure out what I do want to do. I could do just about anything if somebody made me. But I don’t have an image of the one thing I really want to do. That’s my problem now. I can’t find the image.
Haruki Murakami
Were the stars out when I left the house last evening? All I could remember was the couple in the Skyline listening to Duran Duran. Stars? Who remembers stars? Come to think of it, had I even looked up at the sky recently? Had the stars been wiped out of the sky three months ago, I wouldn’t have known.
Haruki Murakami
Overhead, the two moons worked together to bathe the world in a strange light.
Haruki Murakami
If she did experience sex-or something close to it-in high school, I'm sure it would have been less out of sexual desire or love than literary curiosity.
Haruki Murakami
She was truly a beautiful girl. I could feel a small polished stone sinking through the darkest waters of my heart. All those deep convoluted channels and passageways, and yet she managed to toss her pebble right down to the bottom of it all.
Haruki Murakami
It's just that you're about to do something out of the ordinary. And after you do something like that, the everyday look of things might seem to change a little. Things may look different to you than they did before. But don't let appearances fool you. There's always only one reality.
Haruki Murakami
Letters are just pieces of paper, I said. Burn them, and what stays in your heart will stay keep them, and what vanishes will vanish.
Haruki Murakami
Not that running away's going to solve everything. I don't want to rain on your parade or anything, but I wouldn't count on escaping this place if I were you. No matter how far you run. Distance might not solve anything.
Haruki Murakami
So many dreams, so many disappointments, so many promises. And in the end, they all just vanish.
Haruki Murakami
sometimes I think I've got this hard kernel in my heart, and nothing much can get inside it. I doubt if I can really love anybody.
Haruki Murakami
I dream. Sometimes I think that’s the only right thing to do. To dream, to live in the world of dreams. But it doesn’t last forever. Wakefulness always comes to take me back.
Haruki Murakami
It's not right for one friend to do all the giving and the other to do all the taking: that's not real friendship.
Haruki Murakami
What I feel for her is a wholly different emotion. It stands and walks on its own, living and breathing and throbbing and shaking me to the roots of my being.
Haruki Murakami
This is the extent of his knowledge of the sea: it was very big, it was salty, and fish lived there.
Haruki Murakami
Such wounds to the heart will probably never heal. But we cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever.
Haruki Murakami
Don't tell me anymore. You should have your dream, as the old woman told you to. I understand how you feel, but if you put those feelings into words they will turn into lies. (from Thailand)
Haruki Murakami
By then running had entered the realm of the metaphysical. First there came the action of running, and accompanying it there was this entity known as me. I run therefore I am.
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
