“I have a lot more patience for others than I have for myself, and I'm much better at bringing out the best in others than in myself. That's just the kind of person I am.

― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”

“Remember me, even if it's only in a corner and secretly. Don't let me go.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

“When you fall in love, the natural thing to do is give yourself to it. That's what I think. It's just a form of sincerity.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
