Since I have come to America, I am often asked whether my next novel will be set in America. I don't think it will. I think I will be living in America for some time to come, but while living in America, I would like to write about Japanese society from the outside. Haruki Murakami
That’s all I think about these days. Must be because I have so much time to kill every day. When you don’t have anything to do, your thoughts get really, really far out-so far out you can’t follow them all the way to the end. Haruki Murakami
Time really is one big continuous cloth, no? We habitually cut out pieces of time to fit us, so we tend to fool ourselves into thinking that time is our size, but it really goes on and on. Haruki Murakami

Spend your money on the things money can buy. Spend your time on the things money can’t buy Haruki Murakami

For example, the wind has its reasons. We just don't notice as we go about our lives. But then, at some point, we are made to notice. The wind envelops you with a certain purpose in mind, and it rocks you. The wind knows everything that's inside you. And not just the wind. Everything, including a stone. They all know us very well. From top to bottom. It only occurs to us at certain times. And all we can do is go with those things. As we take them in, we survive, and deepen. Haruki Murakami
I stare at this ceaseless, rushing crowd and imagine a time a hundred years from now. In a hundred years everybody here-me included-will have disappeared from the face of the earth and turned into ashes or dust. A weird thought, but everything in front of me starts to seem unreal, like a gust of wind could blow it all away. Haruki Murakami
When I was fifteen, all I wanted was to go off to some other world, a place beyond anybody’s reach. A place beyond the flow of time.” - But there’s no place like that in this world. - Exactly. Which is why I’m living here, in this world where things are continually damaged, where the heart is fickle, where time flows past without a break. Haruki Murakami
Haruki Murakami quote: "His heart, like mine, was ticking off the time allotted to his..."
His heart, like mine, was ticking off the time allotted to his small restless body. Haruki Murakami
Haruki Murakami quote: "It's sometimes hard to avoid losing. Nobody's going to win all..."
It's sometimes hard to avoid losing. Nobody's going to win all the time. Haruki Murakami
Haruki Murakami quote: "I guess time doesn't flow in order, does it - A, B, C, D? It..."
I guess time doesn't flow in order, does it - A, B, C, D? It just sort of goes where it feels like going. Haruki Murakami
Haruki Murakami quote: "I’m me, and at the same time not me. That’s what it felt like...."
I’m me, and at the same time not me. That’s what it felt like. A very still, quiet feeling. Haruki Murakami
