Haruki Murakami

“Between a high, solid wall and an egg that breaks against it, I will always stand on the side of the egg.”
“Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.”
“What happens when people open their hearts? They get better.”
“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”
“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through.”
