Haruki MurakamiBut why should you be interested in me?" Good question. I canโt explain it myself right this moment. But maybe โ just maybe โ if we start getting together and talking, after a while something like Francis Laiโs soundtrack music will start playing in the background, and a whole slew of concrete reasons why Iโm interested in you will line up out of nowhere. With luck, it might even snow for us.
Haruki MurakamiI hurt myself deeply, though at the time I had no idea how deeply. I should have learned many things from that experience, but when I look back on it, all I gained was one single, undeniable fact. That ultimately I am a person who can do evil. I never consciously tried to hurt anyone, yet good intentions notwithstanding, when necessity demanded, I could become completely self-centred, even cruel. I was the kind of person who could, using some plausible excuse, inflict on a person I cared for a wound that would never heal.
