Haruki Murakami
“Our hearts are not stones. A stone may disintegrate in time and lose its outward form. But hearts never disintegrate. They have no outward form, and whether good or evil, we can always communicate them to one another.”
Haruki Murakami, After the Quake

Salman Rushdie
“Do not contemplate what lies beyond failure while you are still trying to succeed.”
Salman Rushdie, Fury

Haruki Murakami
“The whole terrible fight occured in the area of imagination. That is the precise location of our battlefield. It is there, that we experience our victories and defeats.”
Haruki Murakami, After the Quake

Salman Rushdie
“Life is fury, he'd thought. Fury — sexual, Oedipal, political, magical, brutal — drives us to our finest heights and coarsest depths. Out of furia comes creation, inspiration, originality, passion, but also violence, pain, pure unafraid destruction, the giving and receiving of blows from which we never recover. The Furies pursue us; Shiva dances his furious dance to create and also to destroy. But never mind about gods! Sara ranting at him represented the human spirit in its purest, least socialized form. This is what we are, what we civilize ourselves to disguise — the terrifying human animal in us, the exalted, transcendent, self-destructive, untramelled lord of creation.”
Salman Rushdie, Fury

“Yes, of course we were pretentious -- what else is youth for?”
Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending
