Mere humans who root through their refrigerators at three oclock in the morning can only produce writing that matches what they do. And that includes me. – Haruki Murakami

You know, if you are kind of rich, the best thing is that you dont have to think about money. The best thing you can buy with money is freedom, time. I dont know how much I earn a year. I have no idea. I dont know how much I pay in taxes. – Haruki Murakami
