More quotes by 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
You couldn’t begin to imagine who I am, where I’m going, or what I’m about to do, All of you are trapped here. You can’t go anywhere, forward or back. But I’m not like you. I have work to do. I have a mission to accomplish. And so, with your permission, I shall move ahead.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
People lose fifty million skin cells every day. The cells get scraped off and turn into invisible dust, and disappear into the air. Maybe we are nothing but skin cells as far as the world is concerned.
Haruki Murakami
Not that running away's going to solve everything. I don't want to rain on your parade or anything, but I wouldn't count on escaping this place if I were you. No matter how far you run. Distance might not solve anything.
Haruki Murakami
Everyone, deep in their hearts, is waiting for the end of the world to come.
Haruki Murakami
I feel like I've swallowed a cloudy sky
Haruki Murakami
I'm the kind of person who has to totally commit to whatever I do.
Haruki Murakami
For some reason all the middle-aged women he knew were very efficient.
Haruki Murakami
I may not be the most likable person in the world, but I try not to upset people.
Haruki Murakami
I am nothing. I’m like someone who’s been thrown into the ocean at night, floating all alone. I reach out, but no one is there. I call out, but no one answers. I have no connection to anything.
Haruki Murakami
I’ve built a wall around me, never letting anybody inside and trying not to venture outside myself
Haruki Murakami
