Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
The silence grew deeper, so deep that if you listened carefully you might very well catch the sound of the earth revolving on its axis.
Haruki Murakami
In my younger days, I was trying to write sophisticated prose and fantastic stories.
Haruki Murakami
Not just beautiful, though--the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. And they're watching me.
Haruki Murakami
I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt but I was wrong.
Haruki Murakami
Life's no piece of cake, mind you, but the recipe's my own to fool with.
Haruki Murakami
Nothing in the real world is as beautiful as the illusions of a person about to lose consciousness.
Haruki Murakami
It is my huge pleasure that my novels are translated into languages that are read among small numbers of people.
Haruki Murakami
Every day I go to my study and sit at my desk and put the computer on. At that moment, I have to open the door. It's a big, heavy door. You have to go into the Other Room. Metaphorically, of course. And you have to come back to this side of the room. And you have to shut the door.
Haruki Murakami
Did you ever see anyone shot by a gun without bleeding?
Haruki Murakami
