More quotes by Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
His heart, like mine, was ticking off the time allotted to his small restless body.
Haruki Murakami
George Orwell is half journalist, half fiction writer. I'm 100 percent fiction writer... I don't want to write messages. I want to write good stories. I think of myself as a political person, but I don't state my political messages to anybody.
Haruki Murakami
My shadow is only half of what it should be. Everyone has their shortcomings.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
Everything in life is a metaphor.
Haruki Murakami
You’re here,” I continued. “At least you look as if you’re here. But maybe you aren’t. Maybe it’s just your shadow. The real you may be someplace else. Or maybe you already disappeared, a long, long time ago. I reach out my hand to see, but you’ve hidden yourself behind a cloud of probablys. Do you think we can go on like this forever?
Haruki Murakami
Time, of course, topples everyone in its path equally- the way that driver beats his old horse until it dies. But the thrashing we receive is one of frightful gentleness. Few of us even realize that we are being beaten.
Haruki Murakami
Once thing goes wrong, then the whole house of cards collapses. And there's no way you can extricate yourself. Until someone comes along to drag you out.
Haruki Murakami
I'm a writer. I don't support any war. That's my principle.
Haruki Murakami
Cell phones are so convenient that they're an inconvenience.
Haruki Murakami
The world is an inherently unfair place.
Haruki Murakami
Confidence as a teenager? Because I knew what I loved. I loved to read I loved to listen to music and I love cats. Those three things. So, even though I was an only kid, I could be happy because I knew what I loved.
Haruki Murakami
Spending plenty of time on something can be the most sophisticated form of revenge.
Haruki Murakami
