More quotes by Haruki Murakami
I'd made it back to the land of the living. No matter how boring or mediocre a world it might be, this was it.
Haruki Murakami
I collect records. And cats. I don't have any cats right now. But if I'm taking a walk and I see a cat, I'm happy.
Haruki Murakami
I like to read books. I like to listen to music.
Haruki Murakami
You can hide as cleverly as you like, but in the final analysis mimicry is deception, pure and simple. It doesn't solve a thing.
Haruki Murakami
Listening to the music while stretching her body close to its limit, she was able to attain a mysterious calm. She was simultaneously the torturer and the tortured, the forcer and the forced. This sense of inner-directed self-sufficiency was what she wanted most of all. It gave her deep solace.
Haruki Murakami
In traveling, a companion, in life, compassion.
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
Things like that happen all the time in this great big world of ours. It's like taking a boat out on a beautiful lake on a beautiful day and thinking both the sky and the lake are beautiful. So stop eating yourself up alive. Things will go where they're supposed to go if you just let them take their natural course.
Haruki Murakami
When I'm running I don't have to talk to anybody and don't have to listen to anybody. This is a part of my day I can't do without.
Haruki Murakami
This was something sure to be crammed full of warm secrets, like an antique clock built when peace filled the world.
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
I'm the kind of person who has to totally commit to whatever I do.
Haruki Murakami
Such wounds to the heart will probably never heal. But we cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever.
Haruki Murakami
If you think about it, an unfair society is a society that makes it possible for you to exploit your abilities to the limit.
Haruki Murakami
Understanding' is merely the sum total of our misunderstandings.
Haruki Murakami
My short stories are like soft shadows I have set out in the world, faint footprints I have left. I remember exactly where I set down each and every one of them, and how I felt when I did. Short stories are like guideposts to my heart.
Haruki Murakami
Things may look different to you than they did before. I've had that experience myself. But don't let appearances fool you. There's only one reality.
Haruki Murakami
two people can sleep in the same bed and still be alone when they close their eyes
Haruki Murakami
Time, of course, topples everyone in its path equally- the way that driver beats his old horse until it dies. But the thrashing we receive is one of frightful gentleness. Few of us even realize that we are being beaten.
Haruki Murakami
I think that my job is to observe people and the world, and not to judge them. I always hope to position myself away from so-called conclusions. I would like to leave everything wide open to all the possibilities in the world.
Haruki Murakami
