Ryū Murakami
“People were infected with the concept that happiness was something outside themselves, and a new and powerful form of loneliness was born.”
Ryū Murakami, Audition: A Novel

Alan W. Watts
“[T]he art of life is more like navigation than warfare, for what is important is to understand the winds, the tides, the currents, the seasons, and the principles of growth and decay, so that one's actions may use them and not fight them.”
Alan W. Watts, Tao: The Watercourse Way
tags: taoism

Robert W. Chambers
“No, he is not vicious, nor is he in the least demented. His mind is a wonder chamber, from which he can extract treasures that you and I would give years of our life to acquire.”
Robert W Chambers, The Yellow King: The Complete Collection

Haruki Murakami
“People whose freedom is taken away always end up hating somebody.”
Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

Haruki Murakami
“Jealousy—at least as far as he understood it from his dream—was the most hopeless prison in the world. Jealousy was not a place he was forced into by someone else, but a jail in which the inmate entered voluntarily, locked the door, and threw away the key. And not another soul in the world knew he was locked inside. Of course if he wanted to escape he could do so. The prison, was after all, his own heart. But he couldn't make that decision. His heart was as hard as a stone wall. This was the very essence of jealousy.”
Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage
