"Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. It just leads to disappointment. "
— Haruki Murakami (Norwegian Wood)

"I don't think jealousy has much of a connection with real, objective conditions. Like if you're fortunate you're not jealous, but if life hasn't blessed you, you are jealous. Jealousy doesn't work that way. It's more like a tumor secretly growing inside us that gets bigger and bigger, beyond all reason. Even if you find out it's there, there's nothing you can do to stop it."
— Haruki Murakami (Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman: 24 Stories)

"Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting."

"But I didn't understand then. That I could hurt somebody so badly she would never recover. That a person can, just by living, damage another human being beyond repair. "

"Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive."

"Memories are what warm you up from the inside, but they're also what tear you apart."
