More quotes by Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

"It just happens to be the way that I'm made. I have to write things down to feel I fully comprehend them."
"Life doesn't require ideals. It requires standards of action."
"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."
"Despite your best efforts, people are going to be hurt when it's time for them to be hurt."
"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."
