More quotes by Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

"With my eyes closed, I would touch a familiar book and draw its fragrance deep inside me. This was enough to make me happy."
"Life doesn't require ideals. It requires standards of action."
"This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be along process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time."
"If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking."
"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."
