Beyond the window, some kind ...

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 1117 quotes

Have your dream...What you ne...

Have your dream...What you need now more than anything is discipline. Cast off mere words. Words turn into stone. (from Thailand)

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Sometimes when I think of lif...

Sometimes when I think of life, I feel like a piece of driftwood washed up on shore.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

A certain kind of shittiness,...

A certain kind of shittiness, a certain kind of stagnation, a certain kind of darkness, goes on propagating itself by its own power in its own self-contained cycle. And once it passes a certain point, no one can stop it-even if the person himself wants to stop it.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

I’ve never once thought about...

I’ve never once thought about how I was going to die,” she said. “I can’t think about it. I don’t even know how I’m going to live.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Tengo could hardly believe it...

Tengo could hardly believe it-- that in this frantic, labyrinth-like world, two people's hearts-- a boy's and a girl's-- could be connected, unchanged, even though they hadn't seen each other for twenty years.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Genius or fool, you don't liv...

Genius or fool, you don't live in the world alone. You can hide underground or you can build a wall around yourself, but somebody's going to come along and screw up the works.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Inside him, twenty years diss...

Inside him, twenty years dissolved and mixed into one complex, swirling whole. Everything that had accumulated over the years-- all he had seen, all the words he has spoken, all the values he had held-- all of it coalesced into one solid, thick pillar in his heart, the core of which was spinning like a potter's wheel. Wordlessly, Tengo observed the scene, as if watching the destruction and rebirth of a planet.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

I just gave them a little sca...

I just gave them a little scare. A touch of psychological terror. As Joseph Conrad once wrote, true terror is the kind that men feel towards their imagination. (from Super-frog Saves Tokyo)

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Perhaps I'm just too painstak...

Perhaps I'm just too painstaking a type of person, but I can't grasp much of anything without putting down my thoughts in writing.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

I spent thirty-three years in...

I spent thirty-three years in another man's shadow. I went everywhere he went, I helped him with everything he did. I was in a sense a part of him. When you live like that for a long time, you gradually lose track of what it is you yourself really want out of life

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Don't tell me anymore. You sh...

Don't tell me anymore. You should have your dream, as the old woman told you to. I understand how you feel, but if you put those feelings into words they will turn into lies. (from Thailand)

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Things may look different to ...

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 1117 quotes

I'm not afraid to die. What I...

I'm not afraid to die. What I'm afraid of is having reality get the better of me, of having reality leave me behind.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Time weighs down on you like ...

Time weighs down on you like an old, ambiguous dream. You keep on moving, trying to sleep through it. But even if you go to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to escape it. Still, you have to go there- to the edge of the world. There's something you can't do unless you get there.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Everybody burns out in this w...

Everybody burns out in this world; amateur, pro, it doesn't matter, they all burn out, they all get hurt, the OK guys and the not-OK guys both. That's why everybody takes out a little insurance. I've got some too, here at the bottom of the heap. That way, you manage to survive if you burn out. If you're all by yourself and don't belong anywhere, you go down once, and you're out. Finished.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Everything has boundaries. th...

Everything has boundaries. the same holds true with thought. you shouldn't fear boundaries, but you also should not be afraid of destroying them. that's what is most important if you want to be free: respect for and exasperation with boundaries. what's really important in life is always the things that are secondary.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

It is a lonely life sometimes...

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 1117 quotes

All of us are imperfect human beings living in an imperfect world.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

The moon had been observing the earth close-up longer than anyone. It must have witnessed all of the phenomena occurring - and all of the acts carried out - on this earth. But the moon remained silent; it told no stories.
