Haruki Murakami
“Noboru Wataya,
Where are you?
Did the wind-up bird
Forget to wind your spring?”
Haruki Murakami

Mitch Albom
“I figure it’s like in the Bible, the Adam and Eve deal?” the Captain said. “Adam’s first night on earth? When he lays down to sleep? He thinks it’s all over, right? He doesn’t know what sleep is. His eyes are closing and he thinks he’s leaving this world, right? “Only he isn’t. He wakes up the next morning and he has a fresh new world to work with, but he has something else, too. He has his yesterday.” The Captain grinned. “The way I see it, that’s what we’re getting here, soldier. That’s what heaven is. You get to make sense of your yesterdays.”
Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

Kazuo Ishiguro
“You’ve got to enjoy yourself. The evening’s the best part of the day. You’ve done your day’s work. Now you can put your feet up and enjoy it. That’s how I look at it. Ask anybody, they’ll all tell you. The evening’s the best part of the day.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

Karen Joy Fowler
“My sister, Fern. In the whole wide world, my only red poker chip.”
Karen Joy Fowler, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

Haruki Murakami
“Kangaroos give birth to only one baby at a time. So as soon as one baby is born, the female gets pregnant again. Otherwise the kangaroo population would never sustain itself. This means the female kangaroo spends her entire life either pregnant or nursing babies. If she’s not pregnant, she’s nursing babies; if she’s not nursing babies, she’s pregnant. You could say she exists just to ensure the continuance of the species. The kangaroo species wouldn’t survive if there weren’t any kangaroos, and if their purpose wasn’t to go on existing, kangaroos wouldn’t be around in the first place.”
Haruki Murakami, The Elephant Vanishes
