More quotes by Haruki Murakami
I can be hurt, you know. I can get as exhausted as anybody else. I can feel so bad I want to cry, too.
Haruki Murakami
You can hide memories, but you can’t erase the history that produced them.
Haruki Murakami
With luck, it might even snow for us.
Haruki Murakami
I’ve built a wall around me, never letting anybody inside and trying not to venture outside myself
Haruki Murakami
In a place far away from anyone or anywhere, I drifted off for a moment.
Haruki Murakami
Nobody's easier to fool, than the person who is convinced that he is right.
Haruki Murakami
It's a question of attitude. If you really work at something you can do it up to a point. If you really work at being happy you can do it up to a point. But anything more than that you can't. Anything more than that is luck.
Haruki Murakami
Gays, lesbians, straights, feminists, fascist pigs, communists, Hare Krishnas - none of them bother me. I don't care what banner they raise. But what I can't stand are hollow people. When I'm with them I just can't bare it, and wind up saying things I shouldn't.
Haruki Murakami
I can't build a simple shelf. I have no idea how to change an oil filter on a car. I can't even stick a stamp on an envelope straight. And I'm always dialling the wrong number. But I have come up with a few original cocktails that people seem to like.
Haruki Murakami
As long as I was alive, I was something. That was just how it was. But somewhere along the way it all changed. Living turned me into nothing.
Haruki Murakami
The world is an inherently unfair place.
Haruki Murakami
Certain kinds of knowledge rob people of their sleep.
Haruki Murakami
In my younger days, I was trying to write sophisticated prose and fantastic stories.
Haruki Murakami
This is the extent of his knowledge of the sea: it was very big, it was salty, and fish lived there.
Haruki Murakami
If she did experience sex-or something close to it-in high school, I'm sure it would have been less out of sexual desire or love than literary curiosity.
Haruki Murakami
Once a guy starts using a wig, he has to keep using one. It's, like, his fate. That's why wig makers make such huge profits. I hate to say it, but they're like drug dealers.
Haruki Murakami
Most young people were getting jobs in big companies, becoming company men. I wanted to be individual.
Haruki Murakami
I just wanted to write something about running, but I realized that to write about my running is to write about my writing. It's a parallel thing in me.
Haruki Murakami
There is nothing so cruel in this world as the desolation of having nothing to hope for.
Haruki Murakami
If you do anything out of the ordinary, you can be sure someone, somewhere, will get upset.
Haruki Murakami
