I probably still haven’t completely adapted to the world. I don’t know, I feel like this isn’t the real world. The people, the scene: they just don’t seem real to me.

More quotes by Haruki Murakami
The answer is dreams. Dreaming on and on. Entering the world of dreams and never coming out. Living in dreams for the rest of time.
Haruki Murakami
Strong and independent? I’m neither. I’m just being pushed along by reality, whether I like it or not.
Haruki Murakami
Everyone just keeps on disappearing. Some things vanish, like they were cut away. Others fade slowly into the mist. And all that remains is a desert.
Haruki Murakami
Time flows in a strange way on Sundays.
Haruki Murakami
It's hard to tell the difference between sea and sky, between voyager and sea. Between reality and the workings of the heart.
Haruki Murakami
Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who's in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It's like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven't seen in a long time.
Haruki Murakami
Killing time is not an easy job.
Haruki Murakami
It was spring break, so the theater was always packed with high schools students. It was an animal house. I wanted to burn the place down.
Haruki Murakami
I’m just kinda tired. Like a monkey in the rain.
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
If you do anything out of the ordinary, you can be sure someone, somewhere, will get upset.
Haruki Murakami
Letters are just pieces of paper, I said. Burn them, and what stays in your heart will stay keep them, and what vanishes will vanish.
Haruki Murakami
This is what it means to live on. When granted hope, a person uses it as fuel, as a guidepost to life. It is impossible to live without hope.
Haruki Murakami
I'm a writer. I don't support any war. That's my principle.
Haruki Murakami
I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all.
Haruki Murakami
You are entering a phase of your life in which many different things will occur...bad things that seem good at first and good things that seem bad at first.
Haruki Murakami
People want to be bowled over by something special. Nine times out of ten you might strike out, but that tenth time, that peak experience, is what people want. That's what can move the world. That's art.
Haruki Murakami
I think of rivers, of tides. Forests and water gushing out. Rain and lightning. Rocks and shadows. All of these are in me.
Haruki Murakami
I wasn't particularly afraid of death itself. As Shakespeare said, die this year and you don't have to die the next.
Haruki Murakami
That's evolution. Evolution's always hard. Hard and bleak. No such thing as happy evolution
Haruki Murakami
