“Everyone, deep in their hearts, is waiting for the end of the world to come.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

“There are no words for some things. They just are whatever they are, and most of the time they go without saying. Often times we try to attach a word to something, a name, some sort of a definition. We sort of strip the essence of that thing in the process; we tie it down and restrict it from being something else because we have defined it as one particular thing. Sometimes, something is everything and nothing at the same time. But at any given point, it is still something.  There is no real word for the way I feel for you. I could never express it in words. But every now and then, I'll try.”

“If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person.”

“Once you let yourself grow close to someone, cutting the ties could be painful.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
