Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way... - 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."

"With my eyes closed, I would touch a familiar book and draw its fragrance deep inside me. This was enough to make me happy."
