More quotes by Haruki Murakami
I used to think the years would go by in order, that you get older one year at a time. But it's not like that. It happens overnight.
Haruki Murakami
If only I could fall sound asleep and wake up in my old reality!
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
If you really want to know something, you have to be willing to pay the price.
Haruki Murakami
Pointless thinking is worse than no thinking at all.
Haruki Murakami
I guess I felt attached to my weakness. My pain and suffering too. Summer light, the smell of a breeze, the sound of cicadas - if I like these things, why should I apologize?
Haruki Murakami
We each have a special something we can get only at a special time of our life. like a small flame. A careful, fortunate few cherish that flame, nurture it, hold it as a torch to light their way. But once that flame goes out, it’s gone forever.
Haruki Murakami
No matter what you tell me, no matter how legitimate your reasons, I can never just forget about you, I can never push the years we spent together out of my mind. I can't do it because it really happened, they are part of my life, and there is no way I can just erase them. That would be the same as erasing my own self.
Haruki Murakami
Dreams come from the past, not from the future. Dreams shouldn't control you--you should control them.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
You can keep as quiet as you like, but one of these days somebody is going to find you.
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
Probably. Again with the probablys. A world full of probablys, she said.
Haruki Murakami
Of course you got rights, the law's on your side, but sometimes the law takes a long time to kick in and so it gets put in the hands of us poor suckers on duty. You get my drift?
Haruki Murakami
When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.
Haruki Murakami
This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.
Haruki Murakami
In my younger days, I was trying to write sophisticated prose and fantastic stories.
Haruki Murakami
It is my huge pleasure that my novels are translated into languages that are read among small numbers of people.
Haruki Murakami
You can hide memories, but you can’t erase the history that produced them.
Haruki Murakami
Beyond the window, some kind of small, black thing shot across the sky. A bird, possibly. Or it might have been someone's soul being blown to the far side of the world.
Haruki Murakami
