For a certain kind of person, love begins from something tiny or silly. From something like that or it doesnt begin at all.
Haruki MurakamiYou can hide as cleverly as you like, but in the final analysis mimicry is deception, pure and simple. It doesn't solve a thing.
Haruki MurakamiYou always look so cool, like no matter what happens, itโs got nothing to do with you, but youโre not really like that. In your own way, youโre out there fighting as hard as you can, even if other people canโt tell by looking at you.
Haruki MurakamiThe world in books seemed so much more alive to me than anything outside. I could see things I'd never seen before. Books and music were my best friends. I had a couple of good friends at school, but never met anyone I could really speak my heart to. We'd just make small talk, play soccer together. When something bothered me, I didn't talk with anyone about it. I thought it over all by myself, came to a conclusion, and took action alone. Not that I really felt lonely. I thought that's just the way things are. Human beings, in the final analysis, have to survive on their own.
