Quote by Haruki Murakami

“Can I be honest with you, Mr. Wind-Up Bird? I mean, really, really, really honest? Sometimes I get sooo scared! I'll wake up in the middle of the night all alone, hundreds of miles away from anybody, and it's pitch dark, and I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen to me in the future, and I get so scared I want to scream. Does that happen to you, Mr. Wind-Up Bird? When it happens, I try to remind myself that I am connected to others - other things and other people.”

“Il popolo è una bestia varia e grossa, ch’ignora le sue forze; e però stassi a pesi e botte di legni e di sassi, guidato da un fanciul che non ha possa, ch’egli potria disfar con una scossa: ma lo teme e lo serve a tutti spassi. Né sa quanto è temuto, ché i bombassi fanno un incanto, che i sensi gli ingrossa. Cosa stupenda! e’ s’appicca e imprigiona con le man proprie, e si dà morte e guerra per un carlin di quanti egli al re dona. Tutto è suo quanto sta fra cielo e terra, ma nol conosce; e, se qualche persona di ciò l’avvisa, e’ l’uccide ed atterra.”

“ولأن الناس فيهم غرور .. يتصورون أنهم لا غنى عنهم فإذا كان واحد يعمل في مكان وترك هذا المكان، فهو يتصور أن هذا المكان و هذا المكتب أو هذة الشركة أو هذا المصنع سينهار يوماً بعد يوم ولذلك هو حريص على أن يسمع أخبار المصنع أو الشركة”
