Haruki Murakami
You could be anybody when you're writing. That's the reason that I'm writing: to be anybody. You can put your feet in various shoes and experience anything.
Haruki Murakami
Sometimes we don't need words. Rather, it's words that need us.
Haruki Murakami
In everybody’s life there’s a point of no return. And in a very few cases, a point where you can’t go forward anymore. And when we reach that point, all we can do is quietly accept the fact. That’s how we survive.
Haruki Murakami
Did you ever see anyone shot by a gun without bleeding?
Haruki Murakami
I am worrying about my country. I feel I have a responsibility as a novelist to do something.
Haruki Murakami
As long as you have the courage to admit mistakes, things can be turned around.
Haruki Murakami
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
Artists are those who can evade the verbose.
Haruki Murakami
