Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage
Haruki Murakami
Top 10 Best Quotes
“You can hide memories, but you can't erase the history that produced them.”
“One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. There is no silence without a cry of grief, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. That is what lies at the root of true harmony.”
“As we go through life we gradually discover who we are, but the more we discover, the more we lose ourselves.”
“Some things in life are too complicated to explain in any language.”
“Still, being able to feel pain was good, he thought. It's when you can't even feel pain anymore that you're in real trouble.”
“No matter how honestly you open up to someone, there are still things you cannot reveal.”
“Never let fear and stupid pride make you lose someone who's precious to you.”
“Maybe I am fated to always be alone, Tsukuru found himself thinking. People came to him, but in the end they always left. They came, seeking something, but either they couldn’t find it, or were unhappy with what they found (or else they were disappointed or angry), and then they left. One day, without warning, they vanished, with no explanation, no word of farewell. Like a silent hatchet had sliced the ties between them, ties through which warm blood still flowed, along with a quiet pulse.”
“We survived. You and I. And those who survive have a duty. Our duty is to do our best to keep on living. Even if our lives are not perfect.”
“People whose freedom is taken away always end up hating somebody.”
