It is the same with anything ...

It is the same with anything - you have to learn through your own experience, paying your own way. You can't learn it from a book.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Wherever there's hope there's...

Wherever there's hope there's a trial.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

No matter how long you stand ...

No matter how long you stand there examining yourself naked before a mirror, you'll never see reflected what's inside.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Any explanation or logic that...

Any explanation or logic that explains everything so easily has a hidden trap in it. I'm speaking from experience. Somebody once said if it's something a single book can explain, it's not worth having explained. What I mean is don't leap to any conclusions.

You are entering a phase of y...

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 1117 quotes

His heart, like mine, was tic...

His heart, like mine, was ticking off the time allotted to his small restless body.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

I saw that she was crying. Be...

I saw that she was crying. Before I knew it, I was kissing her. Others on the platform were staring at us, but I didn't care about such things anymore. We were alive, she and I. And all we had to think about was continuing to live.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

I want to write stories that ...

I want to write stories that are different from the ones I've written so far, Junpei thought: I want to write about people who dream and wait for the night to end, who long for the light so they can hold the ones they love. But right now I have to stay here and keep watch over this woman and this girl. I will never let anyone-not anyone-try to put them into that crazy box- not even if the sky should fall or the earth crack open with a roar.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

I've always liked libraries. ...

I've always liked libraries. They're quiet and full of books and full of knowledge.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

He sometimes wondered if she ...

He sometimes wondered if she had become involved with him just so that she could cry in someone's arms. Maybe she can't cry alone, and that's why she needs me.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Now for a good twelve-hour sl...

Now for a good twelve-hour sleep, I told myself. Twelve solid hours. Let birds sing, let people go to work. Somewhere out there, a volcano might blow, Israeli commandos might decimate a Palestinian village. I couldn't stop it. I was going to sleep.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Some people can work their bu...

Some people can work their butts off and never get what they're aiming for while others can get it without any effort at all.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

my heart would swell without ...

my heart would swell without warning, and tremble, and lurch with a stab of pain. I would try clamping my eyes shut and gritting my teeth, and waiting for it to pass. And it would pass -- but slowly, taking its own time, and leaving a dull ache behind.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

When I was fifteen, all I wan...

When I was fifteen, all I wanted was to go off to some other world, a place beyond anybody’s reach. A place beyond the flow of time.” - But there’s no place like that in this world. - Exactly. Which is why I’m living here, in this world where things are continually damaged, where the heart is fickle, where time flows past without a break.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

As long as an individual's al...

As long as an individual's alive, he will undergo experience in some form or other, and those experiences are stored up instant by instant. To stop experiencin' is to die.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

What’s most important is what...

What’s most important is what you can’t see but can feel in your heart. To be able to grasp something of value, sometimes you have to perform seemingly inefficient acts. But even activities that appear fruitless don’t necessarily end up so. That’s the feeling I have, as someone who’s felt this, who’s experienced it.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

People lose fifty million ski...

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 1117 quotes

Of course you keep telling yo...

Of course you keep telling yourself there's something to be learned from everything, and growing old shouldn't be that hard. That's the general drift.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Like a Chinese box, the world...

Like a Chinese box, the world of the novel contained smaller worlds, and inside those were yet smaller worlds. Together, these worlds made up a single universe, and the universe waited there in the book to be discovered by the reader.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

It seemed to me that this wor...

It seemed to me that this world has a serious shortage of both logic and kindness.
