Quote by Haruki Murakami

“You don't get it, do you? Person A understands Person B because the time is right for that to happen, not because Person B wants to be understood by Person A. (...) it's not a mistake, most people would call that love, if you think you want to understand me.”

“But who can say what's best? That's why you need to grab whatever chance you have for happiness where you find it, and not worry too much about other people. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a lifetime, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives.”

“I'd swallow some whiskey and listen to the waves while I thought about Naoko. It was too strange to think that she was dead and no longer part of this world. I couldn't absorb the truth of it. I couldn't believe it. I had heard the nails being driven into the lid of her coffin, but I still couldn't adjust to the fact that she had returned to nothingness.”

“Era a típica paisagem universitária durante o intervalo do almoço. E, no entanto, ao observar aquela cena familiar, dei-me conta de uma coisa. Todas as pessoas, cada uma à sua maneira, pareciam felizes. Não saberia dizer se estavam realmente felizes da vida ou se não passava de uma encenação. Em todo o caso, naquele agradável início de tarde em finais de setembro, toda a gente parecia satisfeita, e isso fez com que me sentisse ainda mais solitário. Como se fosse eu o único a destoar na paisagem.”
