Haruki Murakami Quotes

We didn't make the world. All we have to do is live in it.

Existence is a mystery , and one should accept it as a mystery and not pretend to have any explanation .

Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.

I don't know who made the Earth. I woke up one morning, and it's here. I make the best of it.

The world's a mean place. It's unfair, then it's fair. It's hateful, then it's loving. It's a very peculiar place on philosophical and metaphysical and religious levels.

I think life doesn't necessarily have an endgame.

I am not resigned: I am not sure life is long enough to learn that lesson.

I don't know how one should live - but I know that one should live.

I stick my finger into existence.. it smells of nothing. Where am I? Who am I? What is this thing called the world? What does this word mean?

The world is what it is, no less and no more, and therein lies its entire and sufficient meaning.

Life, what is it but a dream?

When things are baffling they usually don't unbaffle themselves.There's just, you know, a certain amount of baffling stuff that always, like, really baffles you, and I've found that it's best to accept bafflement whenever it comes along, and then move on.

They didn't understand it, but like so many unfortunate events in life, just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't so.

The more I think of it, the more I realize there are no answers. Life is to be lived.

You're asking me how not to doubt. Good question.My answer is, you can't. This is life

What has to be accepted, the given, is - so one could say - forms of life .

Life's meaning has always eluded me and I guess always will. But I love it just the same.

There is no true life. Your true life is the one you end up with, whatever it may be. You just do the best you can with what you've got.

Is Life itself a dream, I wonder?

Life is a question without a standard answer.

I secretly think reality exists so we can speculate about it.

Adult life is dealing with an enormous amount of questions that don't have answers. So I let the mystery settle into my music. I don't deny anything, I don't advocate anything, I just live with it.

I feel like I've dreamed half of my life that hasn't happened yet, so a lot of times I'm going along, and I do stuff, and I know that I've done it. I have deja vus more than I have regular experiences. If half of your day is a deja vu, then you start to wonder, 'What is real and what isn't?'

Things change all the time, and they'll probably never be the same again. It's just the natural evolution of the human condition. Things change, and whatever it is is what it is. I mean, you try to start second guessing that, you either get rich or die broke.
