Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
I don't know how many good books I still have in me I hope there are another four or five.
Haruki Murakami
No matter what form the relationship might take, he was the only person she could picture sharing her life with.
Haruki Murakami
Never let the darkness or negativity outside affect your inner self. Just wait until morning comes and the bright light will drown out the darkness.
Haruki Murakami
I always feel like I'm struggling to become someone else. Like I'm trying to find a new place, grab hold of a new life, a new personality. I guess it's part of growing up it's also an attempt to reinvent myself.
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
It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
Haruki Murakami
Wasn't he the one who said you shouldn't trust anybody who calls himself an ordinar man? - Naoko
