Kafka on the Shore

by Haruki Murakami

People are drawn deeper into tragedy not by their defects but by their virtues.

‘Pointless thinking is worse than no thinking at all.’”

Things outside you are projections of what’s inside you, and what’s inside you is a projection of what’s outside. So when you step into the labyrinth outside you, at the same time you’re stepping into the labyrinth inside.

“Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.”

I’m a butterfly, flitting along the edges of creation.
