Quote by Haruki Murakami
I didnt want to be a writer, but I became one. And now I have many

I didnt want to be a writer, but I became one. And now I have many readers, in many countries. I think thats a miracle. So I think I have to be humble regarding this ability. Im proud of it and I enjoy it, and it is strange to say it this way, but I respect it. – Haruki Murakami
