“There weren't any curtains in the windows, and the books that didn't fit into the bookshelf lay piled on the floor like a bunch of intellectual refugees.”
― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

“That's the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.”
― Jhumpa Lahiri, The Namesake

“When I open them, most of the books have the smell of an earlier time leaking out between the pages - a special odor of the knowledge and emotions that for ages have been calmly resting between the covers. Breathing it in, I glance through a few pages before returning each book to its shelf.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Taking crazy things seriously is a serious waste of time.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
