from The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje
She was truly a beautiful girl. I could feel a small polished stone sinking through the darkest waters of my heart. All those deep convoluted channels and passageways, and yet she managed to toss her pebble right down to the bottom of it all.
Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance
The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.

I dream. Sometimes I think that’s the only right thing to do.
Haruki Murakami
Life is not like water. Things in life don’t necessarily flow over the shortest possible route.
Haruki Murakami
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. When you are seeking to bring big plans to fruition, it is important with whom you regularly associate. Hang out with friends who are like-minded and who are also designing purpose-filled lives. Similarly, be that kind of a friend for your friends.
Mark Twain
