“You don't have to judge the whole world by your own standards. Not everybody is like you, you know.”
― Haruki Murakami, The Elephant Vanishes

“How vulgar, this hankering after immortality, how vain, how false. Composers are merely scribblers of cave paintings. One writes music because winter is eternal and because, if one didn't, the wolves and blizzards would be at one's throat all the sooner.”
― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

“There are lots of things we never understand, no matter how many years we put on, no matter how much experience we accumulate.”
― Haruki Murakami, The Elephant Vanishes

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.

And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”
― Albert Camus
