Sometimes I feel like a caret...

Sometimes I feel like a caretaker of a museum -- a huge, empty museum where no one ever comes, and I'm watching over it for no one but myself.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

I can't build a simple shelf....

I can't build a simple shelf. I have no idea how to change an oil filter on a car. I can't even stick a stamp on an envelope straight. And I'm always dialling the wrong number. But I have come up with a few original cocktails that people seem to like.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Of course life frightens me s...

Of course life frightens me sometimes. I don't happen to take that as the premise for everything else though. I'm going to give it hundred percent and go as far as I can. I'll take what I want and leave what I don't want. That's how I intend to live my life, and it things go bad, I'll stop and reconsider at that point. If you think about it, an unfair society is a society that makes it possible for you to exploit your abilities to the limit.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

What I want is for the two of...

What I want is for the two of us to meet somewhere by chance one day, like, passing on the street, or getting on the same bus.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

And everywhere, infinite opti...

And everywhere, infinite options, infinite possibilities. An infinity, and at the same time, zero. We try to scoop it all up in our hands, and what we get is a handful of zero. That's the city

I’ve built a wall around me, never letting anybody inside and trying not to venture outside myself

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

I generally concentrate on work for three or four hours every morning. I sit at my desk and focus totally on what I’m writing. I don’t see anything else, I don’t think about anything else.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

A person’s destiny is somethi...

A person’s destiny is something you look back at afterwards, not something to be known in advance.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

For me, running is both exerc...

For me, running is both exercise and a metaphor. Running day after day, piling up the races, bit by bit I raise the bar, and by clearing each level I elevate myself. At least that’s why I’ve put in the effort day after day: to raise my own level. I’m no great runner, by any means. I’m at an ordinary – or perhaps more like mediocre – level. But that’s not the point. The point is whether or not I improved over yesterday. In long-distance running the only opponent you have to beat is yourself, the way you used to be.

If you think about it, an unfair society is a society that makes it possible for you to exploit your abilities to the limit.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

This was something sure to be crammed full of warm secrets, like an antique clock built when peace filled the world.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Everybody's born with some di...

Everybody's born with some different thing at the core of their existence. And that thing, whatever it is, becomes like a heat source that runs each person from the inside. I have one too, of course. Like everybody else. But sometimes it gets out of hand. It swells or shrinks inside me, and it shakes me up. What I'd really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Each individual has their own...

Each individual has their own unique color, which shines faintly around the contours of their body. Like a halo. Or a backlight. I'm able to see those colors clearly.

Better to be a first-class matchbox than a second-class match.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

she was beautiful and seemingly quite intelligent, what with her pentameter search system. There wasn't a reason in the world not to find her appealing.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

By then running had entered the realm of the metaphysical. First there came the action of running, and accompanying it there was this entity known as me. I run; therefore I am.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

I find myself thinking about ...

I find myself thinking about my ongoing existence as a human being and the path that lies ahead of me. Though of course these thoughts lead to but one place - death.

Haruki Murakami 1117 quotes

Open your eyes, train your ears, use your head. If a mind you have, then use it while you can.

Don't let appearances fool you. There's always only one reality!

I always write my novels with music (I don't listened to the music seriously.) Music seems to encourage me.
