“I want you always to remember me. Will you remember that I existed, and that I stood next to you here like this?”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“به کجا چنین شتابان؟
گون از نسیم پرسید
- دل من گرفته زین جا
هوس سفر نداری
ز غبار این بیابان؟
- همه آرزویم اما
چه کنم که بسته پایم.
به کجا چنین شتابان؟
- به هر آن کجا که باشد
به جز این سرا، سرایم
- سفرت به خیر اما تو و دوستی، خدا را
چو از این کویر وحشت به سلامتی گذشتی
به شکوفه‌ها، به باران
برسان سلام ما را”
― محمدرضا شفیعی کدکنی, در کوچه‌باغهای نشابور

“I really like you, Midori. A lot.”
“How much is a lot?”
“Like a spring bear,” I said.
“A spring bear?” Midori looked up again. “What’s that all about? A spring bear.”
“You’re walking through a field all by yourself one day in spring, and this sweet little bear cub with velvet fur and shiny little eyes comes walking along. And he says to you, “Hi, there, little lady. Want to tumble with me?’ So you and the bear cub spend the whole day in each other’s arms, tumbling down this clover-covered hill. Nice, huh?”
“Yeah. Really nice.”
“That’s how much I like you.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“But who can say what's best? That's why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
