Haruki MurakamiSometimes I feel so- I donโt know - lonely. The kind of helpless feeling when everything youโre used to has been ripped away. Like thereโs no more gravity, and Iโm left to drift in outer space with no idea where Iโm goingโ Like a little lost Sputnik?โ I guess so.

Haruki MurakamiAt my core, there is nothing. Neither is it parched wastelands. At my core, there is love.
