Харуки Мураками знаменитые цитаты

„Я пишу повести, а повести пишутся естественно. Так что говорить — что означает то или иное произведение, это не моя проблема, это вопрос текста. Хотя между мной и текстом, разумеется, есть определенная связь, есть еще и связь между текстом и читателем, и я не в состоянии намеренно ее определять. И вот получается такой треугольник: я, текст и читатель, и в этом треугольнике и заключена повесть. То есть, я не в состоянии заставить читателя думать так, как мне, может, хотелось бы. У меня просто нет права считать, что читатель должен воспринимать мою книгу каким-то образом. Мы находимся на одном уровне, на одной, так сказать, высоте. Из-за того, что я — писатель, я не могу воспринимать текст «лучше» читателя. Если вы видите текст по-своему, то это ваши личные с текстом отношения, и мне нечего по этому поводу возразить.“

„…мне нравится вставлять в книги то, что не имеет никакого отношения. Если в произведении будет лишь то, что «относится к делу», там станет тесно и душно. А если вводишь одно за другим то, что вроде бы и постороннее, создается впечатление дуновения свежего ветра.“

„Зайдя в спальню, я принялся открывать, один за другим, ящики ее шкафа; все оказались пусты — хоть шаром покати. Старый изъеденный молью шарфик, пакетик с порошком от моли да три пустых вешалки — вот и все, что я там обнаружил. Она выгребла все подчистую.“

„К тому же в отличие от сегодняшнего времени, если ты что-либо получал, к этому не прикладывалась куча таких мудреных штук, как скрытая реклама, или полезная сопутствующая информация, или купон на скидку, или опции для апгрейда. Не было такого, чтобы вам вручили охапку инструкций по эксплуатации (вот это инструкция для начинающих, вот для среднего уровня, а это издание для профессионального уровня, а вот инструкции по подключению к модели высшего уровня…).“

„С моей точки зрения, писать прозу – это тяжелый физический труд. Да, сочинительство – ментальный процесс, но чтобы написать роман или книгу, необходимо поработать физически.“

О книгах

„Когда я пишу роман, у меня всегда в душе живёт образ яйца, которое разбивается о высокую прочную стену. «Стеной» могут быть танки, ракеты, фосфорные бомбы. А «яйцо» — это всегда невооружённые люди, их подавляют, их расстреливают. Я в этой схватке всегда на стороне яйца. Есть ли прок в писателях, которые стоят на стороне стены?“

„…мои персонажи относятся ко мне лишь косвенно. Они появляются в повествовании и потом уже живут сами. Что я хочу сказать: к повествованию, к миру надо относиться нейтрально. Если же станут присутствовать личные мотивы — будь то жена или дети — ход изложения застопорится. Поэтому следует быть нейтральным, глядеть на все с беспристрастной позиции, чтобы по возможности не было никакого привкуса собственной жизни. Такую позицию я для себя выбираю, когда пишу.“

“That's wrong," she declared. "Everyone must have one thing that they can excel at. It's just a matter of drawing it out, isn't it? But school doesn't know how to draw it out. It crushes the gift. It's no wonder most people never get to be what they want to be. They just get ground down.”

“But even so, every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles. The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at 4 o'clock in the morning.”

“Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library.”

A Wild Sheep Chase: A Novel (1982)

“Once, when I was younger, I thought I could be someone else. I'd move to Casablanca, open a bar, and I'd meet Ingrid Bergman. Or more realistically - whether actually more realistic or not - I'd tune in on a better life, something more suited to my true self. Toward that end, I had to undergo training. I read The Greening of America, and I saw Easy Rider three times. But like a boat with a twisted rudder, I kept coming back to the same place. I wasn't anywhere. I was myself, waiting on the shore for me to return.”

“I stood there for a while, holding Nakata tight in my arms, feeling like I wanted to die or disappear. Just over the horizon the violence of war went on, with countless people dying. I no longer had any idea what was right and what was wrong. Was I really seeing the real world? Was the sound of birds I was hearing? I found myself alone in the woods, totally confused, blood flowing from freely from my womb. I was angry, afraid, embarrassed-all of these rolled into one. I cried quietly, without making a sound.”

“I always say—a prejudice on my part, I'm sure—you can tell a lot about a person's character from his choice of sofa. Sofas constitute a realm inviolate unto themselves. This, however, is something that only those who have grown up sitting on good sofas will appreciate. It's like growing up reading good books or listening to good music. One good sofa breeds another good sofa; one bad sofa breeds another bad sofa. That's how it goes. There are people who drive luxury cars, but have only second- or third-rate sofas in their homes. I put little trust in such people. An expensive automobile may well be worth its price, but it's only an expensive automobile. If you have the money, you can buy it, anyone can buy it. Procuring a good sofa, on the other hand, requires style and experience and philosophy. It takes money, yes, but you also need a vision of the superior sofa. That sofa among sofas.”

““What’s more, you’re loads better than you think you are.” “So why is it I get to thinking that way?” I puzzled. “That’s because you’re only half-living.” she said briskly. “The other half is still untapped somewhere.””

“"You yourself created this Town. You made everything here. The Wall, the River, the Woods, the Library, the Gate, everything. Even this Pool. I've known all along."
"Then why did you not tell me sooner?"
"Because you'd only have left me here like this. Because your rightful world is there outside." My shadow sits down in the snow and shakes his head from side to side. "But you won't listen, will you?"
"I have responsibilities," I say. "I cannot forsake the people and places and things I have created. I know I do you a terrible wrong. And yes, perhaps I wrong myself, too. But I must see out the consequences of my own doings. This is my world. The Wall is here to hold me in, the River flows through me, the smoke is me burning. I must know why."”

“There are various reasons why an individual might habitually consume large quantities of alcohol, but they all effectively boil down to the same thing. Five years ago, my business partner was a happy drunk. Three years later, he had become a moody drunk. And by the last summer, he was fumbling at the knob of the door to alcoholism. As with most habitual drinkers, he was nice-enough, regular-if-not-exactly-sharp kind of guy. He thought so too. That's why he drank. Because it seemed that with alcohol in his syste, he could more fully embody this idea of being that kind of guy.”

“There are symbolic dreams—dreams that symbolize some reality. Then there are symbolic realities—realities that symbolize a dream. Symbols are what you might call honorary town councilors of the worm universe. In the worm universe, there is nothing unusual about a dairy cow seeking a pair of pliers. A cow is bound to get her pliers sometimes. It has nothing to do with me. Yet the fact that the cow chose me to obtain her pliers changes everything.”

“I pay the entrance fee at the desk, no questions asked, and get a key to a locker. After changing into shorts and a T-shirt in he locker room, I do some stretching exercises.

“I’ve read Rudin before, but that was fifteen years ago in university. Rereading it now, lying all bandaged up, sipping my whiskey in bed in the afternoon, I felt new sympathy for the protagonist Rudin. I almost never identify with anybody in Dostoyevsky, but the characters in Turgenev’s old-fashioned novels are such victims of circumstance, I jump right in. I have a thing about losers. Flaws in oneself open you up to others flaws. Not that Dostoyevsky’s characters don’t generate pathos, but they’re flawed in a way that don’t come across as faults.”

“After a simple dinner I go out on the porch and gaze up at the stars twinkling above, the random scattering of millions of stars. Even in a planetarium you wouldn't find this many. Some of them look really big and distinct, like if you reached your hand out intently you could touch them. The whole thing is breathtaking. Not just beautiful, though -the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive”

“Adults constantly raise the bar on smart children, precisely because they're able to handle it. The children get overwhelmed by the tasks in front of them and gradually lose the sort of openness and sense of accomplishment they innately have. When they're treated like that, children start to crawl inside a shell and keep everything inside. It takes a lot of time and effort to get them to open up again. Kid's hearts are malleable, but once they gel it's hard to get them back the way they were. Next to impossible, in most cases.”

“And it came to me then. That we were wonderful traveling companions but in the end no more than lonely lumps of metal in their own separate orbits. From far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they're nothing more than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere. When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. Maybe even open our hearts to each other. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we'd be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing.”
