Text Quotes
There’s an essential order you have to follow in everything. It’s a way of showing respect, following everything in the correct order (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
The fresh smell of coffee soon wafted through the apartment, the smell that separates night from day (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
Why do I act like this, agreeing when I really disagree, letting people force me to do things I don’t want to do? (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
The better you were able to imagine what you wanted to imagine, the farther you could flee from reality (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
Become like a sheet of blotting paper and soak it all in. Later on you can figure out what to keep and what to unload (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
If I used being busy as an excuse not to run, I’d never run again. I have only a few reasons to keep on running, and a truckload of them to quit (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
If you do anything out of the ordinary, you can be sure someone, somewhere, will get upset (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
Writing talent is similar to the art of chatting up a girl. You can improve to a certain degree through practice, but basically you are either born with it or you aren’t (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits: that’s the essence of running, and a metaphor for life (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
If you miss the bus, miss the train, you’d be left behind. So everyone says, let’s get on the train, let’s get on the bus and go faster and get rich... I just didn’t like that kind of lifestyle. I love to read books, to listen to music (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
The grounds of the place were dominated by several large, old willow trees that towered over the surrounding stone wall and swayed soundlessly in the wind like lost souls (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
I was feeling lonely without her, but the fact that I could feel lonely at all was consolation. Loneliness wasn’t such a bad feeling. It was like the stillness of the pin oak after the little birds had flown off (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
As long as possible, I would really like to complete one marathon per year. Though my time has been slowing down as I get older, it has become a very important part of my life (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
Everything. Things you lost. Things you’re gonna lose. Everything. Here’s where it all ties together (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt but I was wrong (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
Stories lie deep in our souls. Stories lie so deep at the bottom of our hearts that they can bring people together on the deepest level. When I write a novel, I go into such depths (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
I have no idea! I have been writing for 35 years and from the beginning up to now the situation’s almost the same. I’m kind of an ugly duckling. Always the duckling, never the swan (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
Not that running away’s going to solve everything. I don’t want to rain on your parade or anything, but I wouldn’t count on escaping this place if I were you. No matter how far you run. Distance might not solve anything (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
I’m not human. I’m a piece of machinery. I don’t need to feel a thing. Just forge on ahead (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
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 Quotes)
I didn’t want to be a writer, but I became one. And now I have many readers, in many countries. I think that’s a miracle. So I think I have to be humble regarding this ability. I’m proud of it and I enjoy it, and it is strange to say it this way, but I respect it (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
I have always liked running, so it wasn’t particularly difficult to make it a habit. All you need is a pair of running shoes and you can do it anywhere. It does not require anybody to do it with, and so I found the sport perfectly fits me as a person who tends to be independent and individualistic (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
You have to be practical. So every time I say, if you want to write a novel you have to be practical, people get bored. They are disappointed. They are expecting a more dynamic, creative, artistic thing to say. What I want to say is: you have to be practical (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
As a novelist, you could say that I am dreaming while I am awake, and every day I can continue with yesterday’s dream. Because it is a dream, there are so many contradictions and I have to adjust them to make the story work. But, in principle, the original dream does not change (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
I was enjoying myself writing, because I don’t know what’s going to happen when I take a ride around that corner. You don’t know at all what you’re going to find there. That can be thrilling when you read a book, especially when you’re a kid and you’re reading stories (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
To know one’s own state is not a simple matter. One cannot look directly at one’s own face with one’s own eyes, for example. One has no choice but to look at one’s reflection in the mirror. Through experience, we come to believe that the image is correct, but that is all (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
It occurred to me what a simple thing reality is, how easy it is to make it work. It’s just reality. Just housework. Just a home. Like running a simple machine. Once you learn to run it, it’s just a matter of repetition. You push this button and pull that lever. You adjust a gauge, put on the lid, set the timer. The same thing, over and over (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
People have their own reasons for dying. It might look simple, but it never is. It’s just like a rock. What’s above ground is only a small part of it. But if you start pulling, it keeps coming and coming. The human mind dwells deep in darkness. Only the person himself knows the real reason, and maybe not even then (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
The sun sliced through the windshield, sealing me in light. I closed my eyes and felt the warmth on my eyelids. Sunlight traveled a long distance to reach this planet; an infinitesimal portion of that sunlight was enough to warm my eyelids. I was moved. That something as insignificant as an eyelid had its place in the workings on the universe, that the cosmic order did not overlook this momentary fact (Haruki Murakami Quotes)
