Haruki Murakami
“Everyone may be ordinary, but they're not normal.”
Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

Haruki Murakami
“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, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

Haruki Murakami
“Don't pointless things have a place, too, in this far-from-perfect world?”
Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

Haruki Murakami
“The pure present is an ungraspable advance of the past devouring the future. In truth, all sensation is already memory.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Haruki Murakami
“And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others. And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
