Haruki Murakami
He was silent for thirty seconds, maybe a minute. I uncrossed my legs under the table and wondered if this was the right moment to leave. It was as if my whole life revolved around trying to judge the right point in a conversation to say goodbye.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
One of these days they'll be making a film where the whole human race gets wiped out in a nuclear war, but everything works out in the end.
Haruki Murakami
The body is not the only target of rape. Violence does not always take a visible form, and not all wounds gush blood.
Haruki Murakami
There are lots of things we never understand, no matter how many years we put on, no matter how much experience we accumulate.
Haruki Murakami
It is hard to be an individual in Japan.
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 could disappear from the face of the earth, and the world would go on moving without the slightest twinge. Things were tremendously complicated, to be sure, but one thing was clear: no one needed me.
Haruki Murakami
