Kafka On The Shore Quotes

I'm alone inside the world of the story, my favorite feeling in the world.

But thing in the past are like plate that’s shattered to pieces. You can never put it back together like it was, right?

~ Haruki Murakami

He felt as if his heart had dried up. I needed her he thought. I needed someone like her to fill the void inside me. But I wasn’t able to fill the void inside her. Until the bitter end, the emptiness inside her was hers alone.

~ Haruki Murakami
