“We can, if we so choose, wander aimlessly over the continent of the arbitrary. Rootless as some winged seed blown about on a serendipitous spring breeze.”
- A Wild Sheep Chase, Haruki Murakami, pg 60 (trans. by Alfred Birnbaum)
“The “world” - the word always makes me think of a tortoise and elephants tirelessly supporting a gigantic disc. The elephants have no knowledge of the tortoise’s role, the tortoise unable to see what the elephants are doing. And neither is the lease aware of the world on their backs.”
- A Wild Sheep Chase, Haruki Murakami, pg 96 (trans. by Alfred Birnbaum)
“There’s nothing worse than waking up in total darkness. It’s like having to go back and live life all over from the beginning. When I first opened my eyes, it was if I were living someone else’s life. After and extremely long time, this began to match up with with my own life. A curious overlap this, my own life as someone else’s. It was improbable that such a person as myself could even be living.”
- A Wild Sheep Chase, Haruki Murakami, pg 274 (trans. by Alfred Birnbaum)
