And that's why she liked him-- because he just thought she was crazy.”

    Haruki Murakami
    “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.”
    ― Haruki Murakami, Hear the Wind Sing
