Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Kafka is one of my very favorite writers. Kafka's fictional world is already so complete that trying to follow in his steps is not just pointless, but quite risky, too. What I see myself doing, rather, is writing novels where, in my own way, I dismantle the fictional world of Kafka that itself dismantled the existing novelistic system.

Either I'm funny or the world's funny. I don't know which. The bottle and lid don't fit. It could be the bottle's fault or the lid's fault. In either case, there's no denying that the fit is bad.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
One last word of advice, though, Mr. Okada, though you may not want to hear this. There are things in this world it is better not to know about. Of course, those are the very things that people most want to know about. It's strange.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
I realize full well how hard it must be to go on living alone in a place from which someone has left you, but there is nothing so cruel in this world as the desolation of having nothing to hope for.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
My point is: in this whole wide world the only person you can depend on is you.

The world would be a pretty dull place if it were made up only of the first-rate, right?
Quote by -Haruki Murakami

Don't pointless things have a place, too, in this far-from-perfect world?
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
What we see before us is just one tiny part of the world. We get in the habit of thinking, this is the world, but that's not true at all. The real world is a much darker and deeper place than this, and much of it is occupied by jellyfish and things.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
It seemed to me that this world has a serious shortage of both logic and kindness.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Let the world move along as it pleased. If it had any business with him, it would be sure to tell him.

Quote by -Haruki Murakami
The young man knows that he is irretrievably lost. This is no town of cats, he finally realizes. It is the place where he is meant to be lost. It is another world, which has been prepared especially for him. And never again, for all eternity, will the train stop at this station to take him back to the world he came from.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
What the world needs is a set villain that people can point at and say, “It’s all your fault!
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Everybody burns out in this world; amateur, pro, it doesn't matter, they all burn out, they all get hurt, the OK guys and the not-OK guys both. That's why everybody takes out a little insurance. I've got some too, here at the bottom of the heap. That way, you manage to survive if you burn out. If you're all by yourself and don't belong anywhere, you go down once, and you're out. Finished.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Genius or fool, you don't live in the world alone. You can hide underground or you can build a wall around yourself, but somebody's going to come along and screw up the works.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Once she was out of the car and gone, my world was suddenly hollow and meaningless.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Time is too conceptual. Not that it stops us from filling it in. So much so, we can't even tell whether our experiences belong to time or to the world of physical things.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
she was beautiful and seemingly quite intelligent, what with her pentameter search system. There wasn't a reason in the world not to find her appealing.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
You don't have to judge the whole world by your own standards. Not everybody is like you, you know.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
If you want everything to be nice and straight all the time, then go live in a world made with a triungular ruler.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
There is nothing in this world that never takes a step outside a person's heart.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Everyone, deep in their hearts, is waiting for the end of the world to come.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
In the world we live in, what we know and what we don't know are like Siamese twins, inseparable, existing in a state of confusion.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Ever since that happened to me, I haven't been able to give myself to anyone in this world.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
I could disappear from the face of the earth, and the world would go on moving without the slightest twinge. Things were tremendously complicated, to be sure, but one thing was clear: no one needed me.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Don't pointless things have a place, too, in this far-from-perfect world? Remove everything pointless from an imperfect life, and it'd lose even its imperfection.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
This was something sure to be crammed full of warm secrets, like an antique clock built when peace filled the world.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
The point is, not to resist the flow. You go up when you're supposed to go up and down when you're supposed to go down. When you're supposed to go up, find the highest tower and climb to the top. When you're supposed to go down, find the deepest well and go down to the bottom. When there's no flow, stay still. If you resist the flow, everything dries up. If everything dries up, the world is darkness.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
No, I don't want your money. The world moves less by money than by what you owe people and what they owe you. I don't like to owe anybody anything, so I keep to myself as much on the lending side as I can.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
That's what the world is , after all: an endless battle of contrasting memories.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
How much do you love me?' Midori asked. 'Enough to melt all the tigers in the world to butter,' I said.
