Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most. – Haruki Murakami
My father belongs to the generation that fought the war in the 1940s. When I was a kid my father told me stories – not so many, but it meant a lot to me. I wanted to know what happened then, to my fathers generation. Its a kind of inheritance, the memory of it. – Haruki Murakami
Young people these days dont trust anything at all. They want to be free. – Haruki Murakami

Ive never tried to find my real parents. Im very grateful to my mum and dad for adopting me – theyre completely incredible people. It was my dad who encouraged me to question everything, to forge my own path, to think, to read. I always felt it was my right to question everything. – Dan Stevens
