― Kazuo Ishiguro, Klara and the Sun

“Obviously, my daily life and the events in my dreams are far apart—as different as a subway and a balloon. And just like everybody else, I’m captive to everyday life, clinging to the humble surface of the earth. Even the most powerful person, or the richest, can’t escape that gravity.”

― Haruki Murakami, The City and Its Uncertain Walls
