20 life quotes by Haruki Murakami:

1. There is no need to think forward and backward, everything is already in the past.

2. Because no matter how hard we try, we can’t get anywhere, so at this point, we have no choice but to wake up to each other.

3. When you are young, you will still enjoy life even if you are penniless or destitute. When there were no trains, she, I, and the cat would lie on the railroad tracks, as quietly as if we were sitting at the bottom of a lake. We were young, newly married, and the sunshine was free. ?

4. Half of that thing is a lie. The road corporation only broadcasts news that is favorable to them.

5. I really want to see the gradually whitening sky at dawn, drink steaming milk, smell the fragrance of trees, and flip through the pages of the morning newspaper.

6. Because it is your life, you should make your own decision. What I want to say is that I just hope that you will not wear yourself out in an unnatural way. That's the worst thing to gain.

7. Sometimes loss is not sadness, but a kind of beauty.

8. The surroundings were eerily quiet, as if the whole world was listening to my thoughts.

9. Never lose the one you love because of cowardice and boring self-esteem.

10. The so-called life is nothing more than a process of constant loss. Very precious things will slip out of your hands one after another, like a comb with broken teeth. What falls into your hands instead are all inferior and inferior products that are not worth mentioning. Physical strength, hope, dreams and ideals, beliefs and meanings, or the people you love, one after another, one after another, quietly disappear from your side.

11. Lying and silence can be said to be the two major evils that are spreading day by day in human society. In fact, we lie often and fall silent at every turn.

12. One day in the middle of the night, I suddenly woke up...It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see anything. I couldn't even hear the sound of the clock's hands marking time...Even if I just left the world like this, If it disappears, no one will notice it, right? It’s like being put in a big iron box and sinking to the bottom of the sea.

13. Because most people in the world do not believe in reality, but actively believe in what they hope to be true. No matter how wide the eyes of such a person are, they can actually see nothing.

14. Become a calm adult. Don't be emotional, don't miss me secretly, and don't look back. I always thought that people grow old slowly, but this is not true. People grow old in an instant.

15. Mental sharpness cannot be produced in a comfortable environment.

16. Knowledge is better than ignorance under any circumstances. No matter how severe the pain, that must be known. Man becomes strong only by knowing.

17. Either I am crazy, or the world is crazy. I don't know which one is crazy. The size of the bottle mouth and cap do not match. Maybe the bottle is to blame, maybe the lid is to blame. But no matter what, the fact that the sizes do not match cannot be shaken.

18. Whenever I look at the sea, I always want to find someone to talk to. But when I talk to people, I always want to see the ocean.

19. All I do is run in the comfortable emptiness and nostalgic silence that I have concocted, which is a wonderful thing, no matter what others say.

20. Death is not the opposite of life, but exists forever as a part of life.
