More quotes by Haruki Murakami
Maybe it's just hiding somewhere. Or gone on a trip to come home. But falling in love is always a pretty crazy thing. It might appear out of the blue and just grab you. Who knows — maybe even tomorrow.
Haruki Murakami
The unwaking world was as hushed as a deep forest.
Haruki Murakami
I happen to like the strange ones. People who look normal and leads normal lives - they're the ones you have to watch out for.
Haruki Murakami
If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.
Haruki Murakami
There's a special feeling you get on a veranda that you just can't get anywhere else.
Haruki Murakami
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.
Haruki Murakami
They were each like a mirror for the other, reflecting the changes in themselves.
Haruki Murakami
It's not right for one friend to do all the giving and the other to do all the taking: that's not real friendship.
Haruki Murakami
Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive.
Haruki Murakami
No matter what you tell me, no matter how legitimate your reasons, I can never just forget about you, I can never push the years we spent together out of my mind. I can't do it because it really happened, they are part of my life, and there is no way I can just erase them. That would be the same as erasing my own self.
Haruki Murakami
Writing is fun - at least mostly. I write for four hours every day. After that I go running. As a rule, 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). That's easy to manage.
Haruki Murakami
Not that we were incompatible: we just had nothing to talk about.
Haruki Murakami
Ordinary imperfect people, always choose similarly imperfect people as friends.
Haruki Murakami
A person's last moments are an important thing. You can't choose how you're born but you can choose how you die.
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
What's nurtured slowly grows well.
Haruki Murakami
But what seems like a reasonable distance to one person might feel too far to somebody else.
Haruki Murakami
People with dark souls have nothing but dark dreams. People with really dark souls do nothing but dream.
Haruki Murakami
In traveling, a companion, in life, compassion.
Haruki Murakami
Possibilities are like cancer. The more I think about them, the more they multiply, and there's no way to stop them. I'm out of control.
Haruki Murakami
