Quote by Haruki Murakami
My father belongs to the generation that fought the war in the 194

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
