I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. - Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

"People leave strange little memories of themselves behind when they die."

"It just happens to be the way that I'm made. I have to write things down to feel I fully comprehend them."

"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."

"I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it -- to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once."

"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."
