“It’s really difficult to talk about dead people, but it’s even harder to talk about dead young women. It’s because from the time they die, they’ll be young forever. On the other hand, for us, the survivors, every year, every month, every day, we get older. Sometimes, I feel like I can feel myself aging from one hour to the next. It’s a terrible thing, but that’s reality.”

“All the same, writing honestly is very difficult. The more I try to be honest, the farther my words sink into darkness.”

“Kể về người chết đã là một việc vô cùng khó khăn nhưng kể về người con gái chết trẻ còn khó khăn gấp bội. Bởi chính vì đã mất đi mà họ sẽ còn thanh xuân mãi mãi. Ngược lại, những kẻ còn sống như chúng ta đây thì sẽ già đi theo từng năm, từng tháng, từng ngày. Thậm chí thỉnh thoảng tôi còn cảm giác mình đang già đi theo từng giờ. Và đáng sợ thay, đó là sự thật - Lắng Nghe Gió Hát (nguyễn hồng anh dịch)”

“Thỉnh thoảng tôi có hay nói dối. Lần cuối tôi nói dối là hồi năm ngoái. Nói dối là một việc rất đáng ghét. Có thể nói, dối trá và im lặng là hai tội ác khủng khiếp đang hoành hoành tràn lan trong xã hội con người hiện đại. Thực tế chúng ta rất hay nói dối, và liên tục im lặng. Tuy nhiên, nếu chúng ta nói quanh năm, và giả sử chỉ toàn nói sự thật, thì có lẽ giá trị của sự thật cũng sẽ chẳng còn - Haruki Murakami, Lắng Nghe Gió Hát ( Nguyễn Hồng Anh dịch )”

“Lies are terrible things. One could say that the greatest sins afflicting modern society are the proliferation of lies and silence. We lie through our teeth, then swallow our tongues. All the same, were we to speak only the truth all year round, then the truth might lose its value.”

“If you’re looking for fine art or literature, you might want to read some stuff written by the Greeks. Because to create true fine art, slaves are a necessity. That’s how the ancient Greeks felt, with slaves working the fields, cooking their meals, rowing their ships, all the while their citizens, under the Mediterranean Sun, indulged in poetry writing and grappled with mathematics. That was their idea of fine art.”

“That's how it is with art. Mere humans who root through their refrigerators at three o'clock in the morning are incapable of such writing.”
