Haruki Murakami Quotes

I live every day as it comes. I never plan my life.

You don't need a plan; you just need to be present.

To be young is the only religion.

Childhood is never troubled with foresight.

The world is wide, wide, wide, and I am young, young, young, and we’re all going to live forever!

I've never made plans for more than a day ahead.

Youth smiles without any reason. It is one of its chiefest charms.

I never have planned a whole lot of future. It's one day at a time.

Who knows, I have always lived one day at a time. Probably more adventure and excitement.

Certainly, for time out of mind, an obsessive dwelling on happier former days has been synonymous with getting older, while it was the juvenescent who rushed with open arms to embrace the future.

I love having no sense of tomorrow or yesterday.

When I grow up I want to be a little boy.

Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.

Youth is something I never wanna take for granted. I just want to smile and live life.

When you're young, the silliest notions seem the greatest achievements.

The question is, why are we doing so well? The answer is, I try not to think about it too much. I just do what's fun.

I have a childlike spirit.

I aspire to feel like a child, how about that!

I never think too far ahead.

We didn't leave home until we graduated high school, but when we did, we genuinely left. We went out into the world with 50 bucks, backpacks, and acoustic guitars.

That's why children look so beautiful because they are yet full of hope, full of dreams, and they have not yet known frustration.

I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count.

I have remained a simple fellow who asks nothing of the world; only my youth is gone - the enchanting youth that forever walks on air.

Oh, I wish I was young again when everything seemed so wonderful!

And a puzzle is for the piecing together, especially for the young, who still believe it can be done.
