“Beside the road cows are lazily chewing grass. They show zero interest in the runners. They're too busy eating grass to care about all these whimsical people and their nonsensical activities. And for their part the runners don't have the leisure to pay attention to what the cows are up to, either.”
― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

“Two people can sleep in the same bed and still be alone when they close their eyes, if you know what I mean.”
― Haruki Murakami
