Haruki Murakami
The pillow smells like the sunlight, a precious smell.
Haruki Murakami
I’m just kinda tired. Like a monkey in the rain.
Haruki Murakami
People with dark souls have nothing but dark dreams. People with really dark souls do nothing but dream.
Haruki Murakami
Two-thirds of earth's surface is ocean, and all we can see with the naked eye is the surface.
Haruki Murakami
There's no war that will end all wars.
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
What makes us the most normal, said Reiko, is knowing that we're not normal.
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
If you're in pitch blackness, all you can do is sit tight until your eyes get used to the dark.
Haruki Murakami
You said that the mind is like the wind but perhaps it is we who are like the wind Knowing nothing, simply blowing through. Never aging, never dying.
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
Not just beautiful, though--the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. And they're watching me.
Haruki Murakami
People leave strange little memories of themselves behind when they die.
Haruki Murakami
After all this, I won't start to hate you.
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
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
Like you're riding a train at night across some vast plain, and you catch a glimpse of a tiny light in a window of a farmhouse. In an instant it's sucked back into the darkness behind and vanishes. But if you close your eyes, that point of light stays with you, just barely for a few moments.
Haruki Murakami
It is a lonely life sometimes, like throwing a stone into the deep darkness. It might hit something, but you can’t see it. The only thing you can do is to guess, and to believe.
Haruki Murakami
