Quote by Haruki Murakami

“I can recall every part of the scenery from that day just fine but I feel as if I am missing the most important part. With no face to attach to the figure of importance in that memory, Naoko, the only thing that resonates to me with utmost clarity was the one question she posed to me. "Just answer me this one thing Toru, why is poopies so tasty?”

“Ach, es war die grausame Ironie, die in alldem lag - das liebliche Mädchen, das, mit Blumen geschmückt, so blühend aussah wie im Leben, sodass einer nach dem anderen seine Zweifel äußerste, ob sie denn wirklich tot sei. Sie lag in dem schönen Mamorhaus da draußen auf dem einsamen Friedhof, wo schon so viele ihres Geschlechtes ruhen, lag dort mit ihrer Mutter, die sie liebte und die von ihr geliebt wurde, und die Totenglocke klang so traurig und leise. Und jene heiligen Männer mit den Engelsgewändern, die scheinbar aus den Büchern vorlasen und doch keinen Augenblick auf deren Seiten sahen, und dazu wir alle mit tief gebeugtem Haupt. Und wofür das alles? Sie ist tot, Ende!”

“Your scars are beautiful,' he said, and there was a swift, swelling motion in my chest that couldn't be deflated no matter what my brain yelled at it. 'But I refuse to allow your body to be scarred again.' My heart started thumping once more. 'You say that like you mean it.' 'Because I do.”

“Promise?” “Fuck yeah. I’m just worried you aren’t.” “Well, I am.” “Could fuck with you.” “Maybe, but you’ll be here.” “Could give you bad dreams.” “Maybe, but you’ll be here.” “Could be okay then in a year, two, twelve, it’ll sneak up and haunt you.” Jeez! Sometimes a protective hero hot guy could be stubborn and annoying. It was my turn to be firm. “Okay, maybe, Chace, but you’ll be here.” He went silent. Then he whispered. “Yeah, I’ll be here.” Yeah. He would.”

“...what it’s like just before you’re born. Babies can hear their mother’s voices, they get distressed, they feel pain, even in their mother’s stomach. They turn towards the light, like all of us. The womb, though, is the only world they have ever known. They can see all of it, the beginning and the end, and of course, they think there is nothing else. Can’t even conceive of it. So, being born, being dragged out into the cold, into the searing lights and all the noise, must feel like dying – like their whole world disappearing along with every single thing they ever knew. Maybe dying is like that too; none of us know what’s out there. But we’ve experienced something a little like it already. Being born was the best thing that ever happened to us. The world is bigger and more beautiful than we ever could have imagined and on the other side of it there were people we’d never met who already love us. They’ve been excited. They’ve been waiting.”
