Mimi

“let the wind change direction a little bit, and their cries turned to whispers.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“I didn't feel like I was in my own body; my body was just a lonely, temporary container I happened to be borrowing.”
― Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

“Once she was out of the car and gone, my world was suddenly hollow and meaningless.”
― Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

“Where the road sloped upward beyond the trees, I sat and looked toward the building where Naoko lived. It was easy to tell which room was hers. All I had to do was find the one window toward the back where a faint light trembled. I focused on that point of light for a long, long time. It made me think of something like the final throb of a soul's dying embers. I wanted to cup my hands over what was left and keep it alive. I went on watching the way Jay Gatsby watched that tiny light on the opposite shore night after night.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
