More quotes by Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

"I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all."
"But who can say what's best? That's why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives."
"I have a million things to talk to you about. All I want in this world is you. I want to see you and talk. I want the two of us to begin everything from the beginning."
"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."
"Despite your best efforts, people are going to be hurt when it's time for them to be hurt."
