“Narrow minds devoid of imagination. Intolerance, theories cut off from reality, empty terminology, usurped ideals, inflexible systems. Those are the things that really frighten me. What I absolutely fear and loathe. Of course it’s important to know what’s right and what’s wrong. Individual errors in judgment can usually be corrected. As long as you have the courage to admit mistakes, things can be turned around. But intolerant, narrow minds with no imagination are like parasites that transform the host, change form, and continue to thrive.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Life doesn’t get served to you on a plate.”
― Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before the Coffee Gets Cold

“That things in life are fated by our previous lives. That even in the smallest events there’s no such thing as coincidence.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.”
― Gustav Flaubert
