Haruki Murakami Phases Quotations

You are entering a phase of your life in which many different things will occur...bad things that seem good at first and good things that seem bad at first.

Fairness is a concept that holds only in limited situations. Yet we want the concept to extend to everything, in and out of phase. From snails to hardware stores to married life. Maybe no one finds it, or even misses it, but fairness is like love. What is given has nothing to do with what we seek.
