The good thing about writing books is that you can dream while you are awake. If itโs a real dream, you cannot control it. When writing the book, you are awake; you can choose the time, the length, everything. I write for four or five hours in the morning and when the time comes, I stop. I can continue the next day. If itโs a real dream, you canโt do that.
Haruki MurakamiI never made any plan before writing, however I succeeded. I enjoyed writing with excitement ,"what happen on the next page?"
Haruki MurakamiWere the stars out when I left the house last evening? All I could remember was the couple in the Skyline listening to Duran Duran. Stars? Who remembers stars? Come to think of it, had I even looked up at the sky recently? Had the stars been wiped out of the sky three months ago, I wouldnโt have known.
Haruki MurakamiI think you still love me, but we canโt escape the fact that Iโm not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So Iโm not blaming you for falling in love with another woman. Iโm not angry, either. I should be, but Iโm not. I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong.
