-Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

People came to him, but in the end they always left. They came, seeking something, but either they couldn’t find it, or were unhappy with what they found (or else they were disappointed or angry), and then they left. One day, without warning, they vanished, with no explanation, no word of farewell. Like a silent hatchet had sliced the ties between them, ties through which warm blood still flowed, along with a quiet pulse.

i was so relaxed by haruki murakami's romanticization of the mundane that i completely failed to brace myself for the critical second aspect of his writing (unspeakably strange happenings) and now i have no oxygen left in my body

Memories are what warm you up from the inside. But they’re also what tear you apart.

Haruki Murakami, “Sputnik Sweetheart”

[quotefeeling]

I’m not totally mad at you. I’m just sad. You’re all locked up in that little world of yours, and when I try knocking on the door, you just sort of look up for a second and go right back inside.

—Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

[That’s what the world is, after all: an endless battle of contrasting memories.]

You’re not a kid anymore. You have the right to choose your own life. You can start again. If you want a cat, all you have to do is choose a life in which you can have a cat. It’s simple. It’s your right.

I close my eyes, but I can't fall asleep, my body dying for rest while my mind's wide awake.
