“I could go on like this forever, but would I ever find a place that was meant for me? Like, for example, where? After lengthy considerations, the only place I could think of was the cockpit of a two-seater Kamikaze torpedo-plane. Of all the dumb ideas. In the first place, all the torpedo-planes were scrapped thirty years ago”
― Haruki Murakami, Pinball, 1973

“The mathematical order is beautiful precisely because it has no effect on the real world. Life isn't going to be easier, not is anyone going to make a fortune, just because they know something about prime numbers.”
― Yōko Ogawa, The Housekeeper and the Professor

“If you look at things from a distance, most anything looks beautiful.”
― Haruki Murakami, Pinball, 1973

“The strength I'm looking for isn't the type where you win or lose. I'm not after a wall that'll repel power coming from outside. What I want is the kind of strength to be able to absorb that kind of power, to stand up to it. The strength to quietly endure things - unfairness, misfortunes, sadness, mistakes, misunderstandings.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
