Your favorite Haruki Murakami quotes

I've noticed that there are a lot of Murakami fans on this site. Murakami's words are magic, so let's spread them!

We will find 2 - 5 of our favorite quotes or passages by Haruki Murakami, type them in an email, include a reference for each passage (the name of the book or short story from which it originates), and send the list to 5 people.

International humans, please participate! All languages are welcome! But for languages other than English please include an English translation. The translation does not have to be perfect! Global participation will make this swap extra interesting because: 1) we will get a wider variety of cultural tastes 2) we will get to read a different translation from what the "official" translator published (there is no single correct translation!)

(PS- After everyone has their partners, I´d love it if you could CC me in the emails so that I can read all the quotes! But no pressure!)
