Kath’s Notes & Highlights

Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami

50 highlights

“OK, I can live with that. One small step for man. One very small step, however.”

See Kath’s 13 books with notes and highlights…

“The conduct of life was always the same: building it up took lots of time, but destroying it could be accomplished in an instant.”
― Haruki Murakami, End of the World and Hard-Boiled Wonderland: A New Translation

“In the end, you stop understanding everything. It’s like spinning a top that you’ve painted all different colors. The faster the top spins, the less you can distinguish one color from another, until they all blend together. You end up with chaos.”
― Haruki Murakami, End of the World and Hard-Boiled Wonderland: A New Translation

“I was forced to acknowledge too late, much too late, that I too had loved, that I was capable of suffering, and that I was human after all.”
― Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men
