Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

"Some things in life are too complicated to explain in any language."

"As we go through life we gradually discover who we are, but the more we discover, the more we lose ourselves."

"We truly believed in something back then, and we knew we were the kind of people capable of believing in something - with all our hearts. And that kind of hope will never simply vanish."

"Everything has boundaries. The same holds true with thought. You shouldn't fear boundaries, but you should not be afraid of destroying them. That's what is most important if you want to be free: respect for and exasperation with boundaries."

"As we go through life we gradually discover who we are, but the more we discover, the more we lose ourselves."
