More quotes by Haruki Murakami
A man is like a two-story house. The first floor is equipped with an entrance and a living room. On the second floor is every family member's room. They enjoy listening to music and reading books. On the first underground floor is the ruin of people's memories. The room filled with darkness is the second underground floor.
Haruki Murakami
One of these days they'll be making a film where the whole human race gets wiped out in a nuclear war, but everything works out in the end.
Haruki Murakami
As a novelist, you could say that I am dreaming while I am awake, and every day I can continue with yesterday's dream. Because it is a dream, there are so many contradictions and I have to adjust them to make the story work. But, in principle, the original dream does not change.
Haruki Murakami
I like to read books. I like to listen to music.
Haruki Murakami
Understanding' is merely the sum total of our misunderstandings.
Haruki Murakami
Gazing at the rain, I consider what it means to belong, to become part of something. To have someone cry for me.
Haruki Murakami
Life is like a box of cookies.
Haruki Murakami
Overhead, the two moons worked together to bathe the world in a strange light.
Haruki Murakami
I don’t know what it means to live.
Haruki Murakami
Wherever there's hope there's a trial.
Haruki Murakami
This is no honky-tonk parade. 1Q84 is the real world, where a cut draws real blood, where pain is real pain and fear is real fear. The moon in the sky is no paper moon.
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
It's good when food tastes good, it's kind of like proof you're alive.
Haruki Murakami
One last word of advice, though, Mr. Okada, though you may not want to hear this. There are things in this world it is better not to know about. Of course, those are the very things that people most want to know about. It's strange.
Haruki Murakami
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
There's no such thing as perfect writing, just like there's no such thing as perfect despair.
Haruki Murakami
I am here, alone, at the end of the world. I reach out and touch nothing.”.
Haruki Murakami
No matter how honestly you open up to someone, there are still things you cannot reveal.
Haruki Murakami
I could have been a cult writer if I'd kept writing surrealistic novels. But I wanted to break into the mainstream, so I had to prove that I could write a realistic book.
Haruki Murakami
But knowing what I don’t want to do doesn’t help me figure out what I do want to do. I could do just about anything if somebody made me. But I don’t have an image of the one thing I really want to do. That’s my problem now. I can’t find the image.
Haruki Murakami
