Image
Most everything you think you know about me is nothing more than memories.
Haruki Murakami
Image
When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. Maybe even open our hearts to each other. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we'd be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing.
Haruki Murakami
Image
It takes years to build up, it takes moments to destroy.
Haruki Murakami
Image
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
Image
A strange, terrific force unlike anything I've ever experienced is sprouting in my heart, taking root there, growing. Shut up behind my rib cage, my warm heart expands and contracts independent of my will--over and over.
Haruki Murakami
Image
Fate seems to be taking me in some even stranger directions.
Haruki Murakami
Image
Time is too conceptual. Not that it stops us from filling it in. So much so, we can't even tell whether our experiences belong to time or to the world of physical things.
Haruki Murakami

Have books ‘happened’ to you? Unless your answer to that question is ‘yes,’ I’m unsure how to talk to you
Haruki Murakami
Image
Some people can work their butts off and never get what they're aiming for while others can get it without any effort at all.

Haruki Murakami
Image
No matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away.
Haruki Murakami
Image
The power to concentrate was the most important thing. Living without this power would be like opening one’s eyes without seeing anything.
Haruki Murakami
Image
A regular wind-up toy world this is, I think. Once a day the wind-up bird has to come and wind the springs of this world. Alone in this fun house, only I grow old, a pale softball of death swelling inside me. Yet even as I sleep somewhere between Saturn and Uranus, wind-up birds everywhere are busy at work fulfilling their appointed rounds.
Haruki Murakami
Image
I'm kind of a low-key guy. The spotlight doesn't suit me. I'm more of a side dish--cole slaw or French fries or a Wham! backup singer.
Haruki Murakami
Image
She was hearing everything that went on in his heart, like a person who can trace a map with his fingertip and conjure up vivid, living scenery.
Haruki Murakami
Image
The most dangerous creature here would have to be me. So maybe I'm just scared of my own shadow.
Haruki Murakami
Image
Still, in the end, we all die just the same.
Haruki Murakami
Image
In dreams you don't need to make any distinctions between things. Not at all. Boundaries don't exist. So in dreams there are hardly ever collisions. Even if there are, they don't hurt. Reality is different. Reality bites. Reality, reality.

This is the extent of his knowledge of the sea: it was very big, it was salty, and fish lived there.

I don’t know what it means to live.
