“Well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies.”

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”

“I go back to the reading room, where I sink down in the sofa and into the world of The Arabian Nights. Slowly, like a movie fadeout, the real world evaporates. I'm alone, inside the world of the story. My favourite feeling in the world.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
