“I have a lot more patience for others than I have for myself, and I'm much better at bringing out the best in others than in myself. That's just the kind of person I am. I'm the scratchy stuff on the side of the matchbox. But that's fine with me. I don't mind at all. Better to be a first-class matchbox than a second-class match.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“Every woman is the architect of her own fortune.”
― Jessie Burton, The Miniaturist

“All of us are imperfect human beings living in an imperfect world.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“It just happens to be the way that I'm made. I have to write things down to feel I fully comprehend them.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
