So this was how secrets got started, I thought to myself. People constructed them little by little.
Haruki MurakamiA life without pain: it was the very thing I had dreamed of for years, but now that I had it, I couldn’t find a place for myself within it. A clear gap separated me from it, and this caused me great confusion. I felt as if I were not anchored to this world - this world that I had hated so passionately until then; this world that I had continued to revile for its unfairness and injustice; this world where at least I knew who I was. Now the world ceased to be the world, and I had ceased to be me.
Haruki MurakamiMy heroes don't have anything special. They have something to tell other people but they don't know how, so they talk to themselves.
