More quotes by Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

"This is what it means to live on. When granted hope, a person uses it as fuel, as a guidepost to life. It is impossible to live without hope."
"A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else."
"But hell, you've gotta work with what you've got."
"Wherever there's hope there's a trial."
"I've been lonely for so long. And I've been hurt so deeply. If only I could have met you again a long time ago, then I wouldn't have had to take all these detours to get here.'Tengo shook his head. 'I don't think so. This way is just fine. This is exactly the right time. For both of us. [...] We needed that much time.... to understand how lonely we really were."
