Someone once said that nothing costs more and yields less benefit than revenge,โ Aomame said. โWinston Churchill. As I recall it, though, he was making excuses for the British Empireโs budget deficits. It has no moral significance.
Haruki MurakamiWhen I first met you, I felt a kind of contradiction in you. Youโre seeking something, but at the same time, you are running away for all youโre worth.
Haruki MurakamiHas the dark shadow really disappeared? Or is it inside me, concealed, waiting for its chance to reappear? Like a clever thief hidden inside a house, breathing quietly, waiting until everyoneโs asleep. I have looked deep inside myself, trying to detect something that might be there. But just as our consciousness is a maze, so too is our body. Everywhere you turn thereโs darkness, and a blind spot. Everywhere you find silent hints, everywhere a surprise is waiting for you.
