You have to be an adult who doesn't move. No moodiness, no sneaky misses, no looking back. Go live another life of your own. You have to be obedient, not all fish live in the same sea. --Dance! Dance! Dance!
When we were teenagers, we pursued passion, but after maturity, we were obsessed with mediocrity. It is a kind of courage to believe in love as we always do after we look for it, hurt it, and turn away from it. Everyone has their own piece of forest, lost people lost, meet people will meet again. -- "Norwegian Wood"
I may be defeated, perhaps lost themselves, perhaps where can not be reached, perhaps I have lost everything, any how to struggle can only be in vain, perhaps I just in vain to scoop up a handful of ruins and ashes, only I am alone in the drum, perhaps there is no one here to put their bets on me. No matter, one thing is clear: at least I have something worth waiting for and seeking. -The Book of Strange Birds
"Most of all, I like you best, Midori."
"To what extent?"
"Like a bear who likes spring."
"A bear in spring?" Midori raised her face again, "What spring bear?"
"You were walking alone in the spring wilderness, and across the street came a cute little bear, with fur living like velvet and bulging eyes. It says to you, 'Hello, miss, will you roll around with me?' Then you and the bear cuddled up together and rolled down the clover-covered hillside for the rest of the day. Don't you think that's great?"
"Awesome."
"That's how much I like you." --Norwegian Wood
If you fall into the darkness, all you can do is just be still and wait until your eyes adjust to the darkness. --Norwegian Wood
Every day is pretty much the same repetition. There is no inconvenience in reversing the order of yesterday and the day before. I wondered from time to time what kind of life was this! But there was no sense of wasted time as a result. I was merely surprised that yesterday was indistinguishable from the day before, that I had been programmed into such a life, and that the footprints I had left behind were blown away by the wind in the twinkling of an eye before I could even recognize them, and became invisible. -- "Sleep"
I'm tired of disliking people, of hating people, of not being able to love anyone. I don't even have a friend, not even one. On top of that, I can't even love myself. Why can't you love yourself? It was because of the inability to love others. One needs to love someone, and be loved by someone, and through that learn to love oneself. Do you understand what I mean? Those who cannot love others cannot love themselves properly. -- "1Q84"
I'm the kind of person who loves to be alone, or the kind of person who doesn't suffer too much from being alone. I don't get bored when I don't talk to anyone for an hour or two every day, whether I'm running alone or writing an essay. I prefer reading a book or listening to music alone in silence or with full attention than doing something with someone. I can think of so many things to do just by myself. --What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
Beyond a certain age, life is nothing but a process of loss. One by one, the things that were valuable to you in life will slip out of your hands like the teeth of a comb. In its place, you will be left with a bunch of shoddy goods that are not worth mentioning. Physical abilities, hopes, dreams and ideals, beliefs and meanings, or people you love, one after the other, one after the other, fade away from you. And once it's gone, you can't get it back, not even to find a replacement. It's a real pain in the ass. Sometimes it's like taking a knife to your body, and it's excruciating. There is no such thing as light without shadow, and there is no such thing as shadow without light. Carl Jung said something like this in one of his books: 'The shadows are evil beings, similar to us humans who are positive beings. The more we strive to be good, good and perfect, the more clearly the shadows manifest their dark, evil, destructive will. When man tries to become perfect beyond his own capacity, the shadow goes to hell and becomes the devil. For in this nature it is as sinful for man to intend to become above himself as it is for him to intend to become below himself. -- 1Q84
"I hope you remember me." Zobel said, "It doesn't matter if I'm forgotten by everyone else, as long as I have you to remember me." --Kafka by the Sea
We've all become adults, each with a different circle of life, so it's inevitable in a way. We're not naive high school students anymore. But even so, it's still sad to watch something that was once so important fade and disappear. After all, we were the ones who grew up together and spent the vibrant times together. -- "The colorless Tasaki and his year of tour"
Mediocrity is like a stain on a white shirt, once stained, it can never be washed away, irreparable.

The mountains and rivers are silent, the markets are quiet, and the residents are at peace with each other. It is a pity that people have no body, no memory and no heart. Men and women can be close to each other but cannot love each other. Love must have a heart, and the heart has been embedded in countless unicorn skulls into an ancient dream. -- "The End of the World and Cold Wonderland"
Do not because of loneliness casually hand in hand, and then rely on, people are free and easy, even if drifting, that experience is better than the prison life, so I deliberately do not allow themselves to the network is too dependent on the loss of the person also maintains a bashful attitude, thousands of brushes, you give who The first thing you need to do is to get a chance to meet someone who has a good relationship with you, even if there is no A, there will be a B. Pain and ache, fragility and vulnerability connect each other's hearts. In the midst of every serenity, there is always a hidden cry of grief; behind every forgiveness, there is always blood spilled on the earth; and with every acceptance, there is always a painful loss. This is what exists in the depths of true harmony. -- "The colorless Tasaki Saku and his year of tour"

Man, life, is by nature lonely and helpless. That is why it is necessary to socialize with people in order to understand each other. But is mutual understanding really possible? No, it is not possible, fatalistically impossible, the effort to seek understanding is futile. Why, then, is it necessary to make the effort? Why can't we just change our attitude - since it's a waste of effort to try to understand, we can just stop trying, and we can still live a good life! In other words, instead of trying to eliminate loneliness and dissolve helplessness through interaction, it's better to come back and play with loneliness and helplessness!

When I first put pen to paper, I felt as if I could write beautiful things, the lines were vibrant, the outlook was as present as the plot naturally gushing, but as the story progressed, that momentum and light began to lose a little bit of it, and watched it lose. The current gets thinner and thinner, and soon it slows down and stops like a steam locomotive, and finally disappears altogether. --Haruki Murakami, The Collected Stories of Tokyo
After the airplane's engine died, there was silence in all directions, except for the faint sound of the wind coming to my ears. It was a clear fall afternoon, cloudless, and the whole world was visible. The curves of the mountains, the pine trees, and the white houses were spread out as far as the eye could see. The Aegean Sea shone brightly in the distance. I was floating and wandering above it. Everything took on a virtual beauty, still and quiet, far away at the end of the world. It was as if the straps that held everything together had come undone because of something. --Haruki Murakami, Murakami Radio

History books tell us the fact that we were basically the same as we are today. Although there are differences in clothing and lifestyles, our thoughts and behaviors have not changed much. The thing called man is, after all, nothing but a carrier of hereditary elements, a channel for them. They ride us down generation after generation interchangeably, just as they discard tired horses one after another. And the genetic factors never think about what is good and what is evil. They don't care whether we are happy or unhappy. --Haruki Murakami, "Q"

It was a clear, crisp afternoon in early fall - exactly as it had been when I visited Naoko in Kyoto exactly a year earlier. The clouds were as thin and white as dead bones, and the sky was long and seemingly unobstructed. Another fall, I thought. The scent of the wind, the hue of the light, the small flowers dotting the grass, the echo left by a single syllable, all inform me of the arrival of autumn. As the seasons change, so does the distance between me and the dead. Kizuki is still seventeen, and Naoko is still twenty-one, forever. --Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

All things must be in order, and looking too far ahead does not work. If you look too far ahead, you're bound to lose sight of what's underneath you, and you'll often fall down.

That's the key, no matter what you do. --Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Beach
What does it mean for a person to be free? Is it a skillful escape from a cage, only to be placed in another, larger cage? In fact, we are not a bird in a cage, no matter how to fly, never fly out of the cage society and environment. Freedom, too, is just an illusionist's rhetoric, and we cannot find it in the end. And without society, there is no such thing as freedom.

The so-called jealousy is the most desperate prison in the world. For it is the prison in which the prisoner confines himself, not by violence, but by walking in, locking the door from the inside, and throwing the key over the bars with his own hand. And no one in the world knows that he is confined there. Surely he could have got out if he had only made up his mind to do so. For the prison was within him. But he could not make up his mind. His heart became as hard as a stone wall. That is the essence of jealousy. --Haruki Murakami, "The Colorless Tasakisaku and His Year of Parade"
