There are lots of things we never understand, no matter how many years we put on, no matter how much experience we accumulate.
Haruki MurakamiTo know oneโs own state is not a simple matter. One cannot look directly at oneโs own face with oneโs own eyes, for example. One has no choice but to look at oneโs reflection in the mirror. Through experience, we come to believe that the image is correct, but that is all.
Haruki MurakamiIf you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person.
