Inspirational Quotes by Haruki Murakami, 1Q84 — Words of Wisdom for Daily Success

“Life is not like water. Things in life don't necessarily flow over the shortest possible route.”

“A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else.”

““I've been lonely for so long. And I've been hurt so deeply. If only I could have met you again a long time ago, then I wouldn't have had to take all these detours to get here.'”

“I'm tired of living unable to love anyone. I don't have a single friend - not one. And, worst of all, I can't even love myself. Why is that? Why can't I love myself? It's because I can't love anyone else. A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else. Do you understand what I am saying? A person who is incapable of loving another cannot properly love himself.”

“If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person.”
