"Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering."
"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."

"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."
"If I am really a part of your dream, you'll come back one day."
"The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them."

"I tried hard to forget, but there remained inside me a vague knot of air. And as time went by, the knot began to take on a clear and simple form, a form that I am able to put into words, like this: Death exists, not as the opposite but as a part of life. It's a cliché translated into words, but at the time I felt it not as words but as that knot of air inside me. Death exists - in a paperweight, in four red and white balls on a pool table - and we go on living and breathing it into our lungs like fine dust."
Haruki Murakami (Norwegian Wood)
