I generally concentrate on work for three or four hours every morning. I sit at my desk and focus totally on what I’m writing. I don’t see anything else, I don’t think about anything else.

More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Something inside me had dropped away, and nothing came in to fill the cavern.
Haruki Murakami
Life is not like water. Things in life don't necessarily flow over the shortest possible route.
Haruki Murakami
Between the time the last train leaves and the first train arrives, the place changes: it's not the same as in daytime.
Haruki Murakami
It seems to me, though, that you always understand very well what I can't say very well. Trouble is I end up being even worse at saying things well.
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
But who can say what's best? That's why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives.
Haruki Murakami
It's just a feeling I have. What you see with your eyes is not necessarily real. My enemy is, among other things, the me inside me.
Haruki Murakami
Lots of different ways to live and lots of different ways to die. But in the end that doesn't make a bit of difference. All that remains is a desert.
Haruki Murakami
Let me tell you something, Mari. The ground we stand on looks solid enough, but if something happens it can drop right out from under you. And once that happens, you've had it: things'll never be the same. All you can do is go on, living alone down there in the darkness.
Haruki Murakami
I don’t know, I don’t feel right unless I’ve got the sea and mountains nearby. People are mostly a product of where they were born and raised. How you think and feel’s always linked to the lay of the land, the temperature. The prevailing winds, even.
Haruki Murakami
Passion can’t sustain itself forever.
Haruki Murakami
Either I'm funny or the world's funny. I don't know which. The bottle and lid don't fit. It could be the bottle's fault or the lid's fault. In either case, there's no denying that the fit is bad.
Haruki Murakami
With luck, it might even snow for us.
Haruki Murakami
I am here, alone, at the end of the world. I reach out and touch nothing.”.
Haruki Murakami
The honour of physical decline is waiting, and you have to get used to that reality.
Haruki Murakami
In the spring of her twenty-second year, Sumire fell in love for the first time in her life.
Haruki Murakami
All imperfections are forced upon the imperfect, so the 'perfect' can live content and oblivious.
Haruki Murakami
Time expands, then contracts, all in tune with the stirrings of the heart.
Haruki Murakami
It was spring break, so the theater was always packed with high schools students. It was an animal house. I wanted to burn the place down.
Haruki Murakami
Our responsibility begins with our imagination.
Haruki Murakami
