Quote by Haruki Murakami

“我要百分之百地发挥自己地能力,不达到极限绝不罢休。想拿的就拿,不想拿的就不拿,就这样生存下去。不行的话,到不行的时候再另行考虑。反过来想,不公平的社会同时也是大有用武之地的社会。” “这话像是有些我行我素的味道。” 我说。 “不过,我并不是仰脸望天静等苹果掉进嘴里,我在尽我的一切努力,在付出比你大十倍的努力。” “恐怕是的。” 我承认。 “所以,有时我环顾世人就气不打一处来——这些家伙为什么不知道努力呢?不努力何必还牢骚满腹呢?” 我惊讶地看着永泽的脸:“在我的印象中,世上的人也都在辛辛苦苦拼死拼活地忙个没完,莫不是我看错了?” “那不是努力,只是劳动。”

“When he'd finally managed to access the heavily damaged upper floors, he had moved through them carefully, prepared to find her dead body under the broken furniture or the fallen walls. But he never did. He found no one. That's when Mael had started to hope. Surely they would come looking for him, he told himself. He must keep the building ready for them. He would say it out loud when his loneliness and loud sobs threatened to swallow him and all he wanted was to end it all: She would come. If he was patient and stayed put, she would come. He couldn't leave. One day she would come. - “Worker of the Year” in Gone Lawn #15, 2014”

“I don't really care if people forget me. My legacy wasn't about me. It was about everything I could do for another. When that sinks in...well you try a little harder. You dream a little broader. Your heart stretches a little farther and you find that you can't go back to the same place and make it fit. You become a person of ideas and seek out your own kind. And then it happens: One day you discover that staying the same is scary and changing has become your new home.”
