“You lost all interest in this world. You were disappointed and discouraged, and lost interest in everything. So you abandoned your physical body. You went to a world apart and you’re living a different kind of life there. In a world that’s inside you.”
― Haruki Murakami

“You can't go anywhere if you just resign yourself to being attacked. A state of chronic powerlessness eats away at a person.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84 #1-2

“I have spent all my life resisting the desire to end it.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

“Someday you’ll find the right person, and you’ll learn to have a lot more confidence in yourself. That’s what I think. So don’t settle for anything less. In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else. It’s important to combine the two in just the right amount”
― Haruki Murakami
