“Every one of us is losing something precious to us,” he says after the phone stops ringing. “Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads – at least that’s where I imagine it – there’s a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in a while, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you’ll live for ever in your own private library.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“revelation leaps over the borders of the everyday. A life without revelation is no life at all. What you need to do is move from reason that observes to reason that acts.”

“That’s why I gave myself the name Kafka. That’s what Kafka means in Czech, you know – crow.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Having an object that symbolises freedom might make a person happier than actually getting the freedom it represents.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
