Haruki Murakami Quotes

Everybody thinks I’m this delicate little girl. But you can’t tell a book by it’s cover.’ To which she added a momentary smile Picture Quote #1

Gays, lesbians, straights, feminists, fascist pigs, communists, Hare Krishnas - none of them bother me. I don’t care what banner they raise. But what I can’t stand are hollow people. When I’m with them I just can’t bare it, and wind up saying things I shouldn’t Picture Quote #1

Writing is fun - at least mostly. I write for four hours every day. After that I go running. As a rule, 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). That’s easy to manage Picture Quote #1

I contented myself with whiskey, for medicinal purposes. It helped numb my various aches and pains. Not that the alcohol actually reduced the pain; it just gave the pain a life of its own, apart from mine Picture Quote #1

Everyone who has something is afraid of losing it, and people with nothing are worried they’ll forever have nothing. Everyone is the same Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

That’s what the world is , after all: an endless battle of contrasting memories Picture Quote #1

So called art films. Movies like that never explained what was going on. Explanations were rejected as some kind of evil that could only destroy the films reality Picture Quote #1
