Haruki Murakami
- Kafka on the Shore
Time weighs down on you like an old, ambiguous dream. You keep on moving, trying to sleep through it. But even if you go to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to escape it. Still, you have to go there - to the edge of the world. There's something you can't do unless you get there.
David Nicholls
- What are you going to do with your life?
"What are you going to do with your life?," she was no nearer an answer. "Live each day as if it's your last," that was the conventional advice, but really, who had the energy for that? It just wasn't practical. Better by far to be good and courageous and bold and to make difference. Not change the world exactly, but the bit around you. Cherish your friends, stay true to your principles, live passionately and fully and well. Experience new things. Love and be loved, if you ever get the chance.
