“People are born in order to live, right? But the longer I’ve lived, the more I’ve lost what’s inside me - and ended up empty. And I bet the longer I live, the emptier, the more worthless, I’ll become. Something’s wrong with this picture. Life isn’t supposed to turn out like this! Isn’t it possible to shift direction, to change where I’m headed?”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense",”
― Franz Kafka, Metamorphosis

“But if God is the flowers and trees And hills and sun and moon, Then why should I call him God? I’ll call him flowers and trees and hills and sun and moon.”
― Fernando Pessoa, Fernando Pessoa & Co.: Selected Poems

“أصغِ فحسب. تخيّل نفسك صدَفة.”
― هاروكي موراكامي, Kafka on the Shore
