Team sports arent my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you dont need a partner to go running, you dont need a particular place, like in tennis, just a pair of trainers. – Haruki Murakami
I dont know how many good books I still have in me I hope there are another four or five. – Haruki Murakami
I didnt read so much Japanese literature. Because my father was a teacher of Japanese literature, I just wanted to do something else. – 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
