“Yet what was time, when you got right down to it? We measured its passage with the hands of a clock for convenience’s sake. But was that appropriate? Did time really flow in such a steady and linear way? Couldn’t this be a mistaken way of thinking, an error of major proportions?”
― Haruki Murakami, Killing Commendatore

“No matter how vivid a memory, the power of time was stronger. I knew this instinctively.”
― Haruki Murakami, Killing Commendatore

“You’re still young, so that’s why you say that. When you get to be my age, you’ll understand how I feel. How much loneliness the truth can cause sometimes.”
― Haruki Murakami, Killing Commendatore

“Nothing stayed still. And time was lost. Behind me, time became dead grains of sand, which one after another gave way and vanished.”
― Haruki Murakami, Killing Commendatore
