Wisdom Quote by Haruki Murakami — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“My grandpa always said asking a question is embarrass for a moment but not asking a question is embarrasing for a life time”

“Everything was too sharp and clear, so that I could never tell where to start- the way a map that shows too much can sometimes be useless.”

“Suicides? Heart attacks? The papers didn't seem interested. The world was full of ways to die, too many to cover. Newsworthy deaths had to be exceptional. Most people go unobserved.”

“People have their own reasons for dying. It might look simple, but it never is. It's just like a rock. What's above ground is only a small part of it. But if you start pulling, it keeps coming and coming. The human mind dwells deep in darkness. Only the person himself knows the real reason, and maybe not even then.”

“If there's any guy crazy enough to attack me, I'm going to show him the end of the world -- close up. I'm going to let him see the kingdom come with his own eyes. I'm going to send him straight to the southern hemisphere and let the ashes of death rain all over him and the kangaroos and the wallabies.”

“There is a power in nature that man has ignored. And the result has been heartache and pain.”

“Limitation of one's freedom might seem to be something negative and unpleasant, but love makes it a positive, joyful and creative thing. Freedom exists for the sake of love.”

“Basically, when you get to my age, you'll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.”

“We will never be more that we have been destined to be!”

“Snobbery might sometimes look cool, like smoking, but the end result is usually a repelling one.”

“Just as the bird needs wings to fly, a leader needs useful information to flow. Leaders learn.”
