Haruki Murakami Quotes

Of course you got rights, the law’s on your side, but sometimes the law takes a long time to kick in and so it gets put in the hands of us poor suckers on duty. You get my drift? Picture Quote #1

When you’re young, you think you can handle anything. By the time you find out otherwise, it’s already too late. You got a stocking wrapped around your neck Picture Quote #1

You could be anybody when you’re writing. That’s the reason that I’m writing: to be anybody. You can put your feet in various shoes and experience anything Picture Quote #1

I never plan. I never know what the next page is going to be... But that’s the fun of writing a novel or a story, because I don’t know what’s going to happen next Picture Quote #1

Not to excuse myself, but when you have people right in front of you denying your very presence like that, then see if you don’t doubt whether you actually exist. I look at my hands half expecting to see clear through them Picture Quote #1

I always feel like I’m struggling to become someone else. Like I’m trying to find a new place, grab hold of a new life, a new personality. I guess it’s part of growing up; it’s also an attempt to reinvent myself Picture Quote #1

My point is: in this whole wide world the only person you can depend on is you Picture Quote #1

Good style happens in one of two ways: the writer either has an inborn talent or is willing to work herself to death to get it Picture Quote #1

We can, if we so choose, wander aimlessly over the continent of the arbitrary. Rootless as some winged seed blown about on a serendipitous spring breeze Picture Quote #1

Exerting yourself to the limit over and over again, that is the essence of running. Running is painful, but the pain doesn’t leave me, I can take care of it. That agrees with my mentality Picture Quote #1

Running taught me to have faith in my skills as a writer. I learned how much I can demand of myself, when I need a break, and when the break starts to get too long. I known how hard I am allowed to push myself Picture Quote #1

You can hide as cleverly as you like, but in the final analysis mimicry is deception, pure and simple. It doesn’t solve a thing Picture Quote #1

Life is not like water. Things in life don’t necessarily flow over the shortest possible route Picture Quote #1

There are lots of things we never understand, no matter how many years we put on, no matter how much experience we accumulate Picture Quote #1

Everybody has to start somewhere. You have your whole future ahead of you. Perfection doesn’t happen right away Picture Quote #1

Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts Picture Quote #1

Spend your money on the things money can buy. Spend your time on the things money can’t buy Picture Quote #1

A certain type of perfection can only be realized through a limitless accumulation of the imperfect Picture Quote #1

Only where there is disillusionment and depression and sorrow does happiness arise; without the despair of loss, there is no hope Picture Quote #1

Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that’s how we’ve got to live Picture Quote #1

Why do people have to be this lonely? What’s the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness? Picture Quote #1

I don’t really know if it’s the right thing to do, making new life. Kids grow up, generations take their place. What does it all come to? More hills bulldozed and more ocean fronts filled in? Faster cars and more cats run over? Who needs it? Picture Quote #1

For me, writing a novel is like having a dream. Writing a novel lets me intentionally dream while I’m still awake. I can continue yesterday’s dream today, something you can’t normally do in everyday life Picture Quote #1

My heroes don’t have anything special. They have something to tell other people but they don’t know how, so they talk to themselves Picture Quote #1

If you want to talk about something new, you have to make up a new kind of language Picture Quote #1

I collect records. And cats. I don’t have any cats right now. But if I’m taking a walk and I see a cat, I’m happy Picture Quote #1

I don’t think of myself as an artist. I’m just a guy who can write Picture Quote #1

When I am writing, I do not distinguish between the natural and supernatural. Everything seems real. That is my world, you could say Picture Quote #1

You have to dream intentionally. Most people dream a dream when they are asleep. But to be a writer, you have to dream while you are awake, intentionally Picture Quote #1

I am worrying about my country. I feel I have a responsibility as a novelist to do something Picture Quote #1
