Li Bing

“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. I'm the scratchy stuff on the side of the matchbox. But that's fine with me. I don't mind at all. Better to be a first-class matchbox than a second-class match.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“It's easy to talk big, but the important thing is whether or not you clean up the shit.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“Yes, life always takes the side of life, and somehow the victims are blamed. But it wasn’t the best people who survived, nor did the best ones die. It was random!”
― Art Spiegelman, The Complete Maus

“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
