“I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. Nothing else.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek

“All alone in an unfamiliar place, like some solitary explorer who's lost his compass and his map. Is this what it means to be free?”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“People soon get tired of things that aren't boring, but not of what is boring.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“But irony deepens a person, helps them mature. It's the entrance to salvation on a higher plane, to a place where you can find a more universal kind of hope. That's why people enjoy reading Greek tragedies even now, why they're considered prototypical classics. I'm repeating myself, but everything in life is metaphor. People don't usually kill their father and sleep with their mother, right? In other words, we accept irony through a device called metaphor. And through that we grow and become deeper human beings.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
