Haruki Murakami je japonský spisovatel a překladatel, který je známý svojí popularitou jak v Japonsku, tak i ve světě. Narodil se v Kjótu a vyrůstal v Kóbe. Jeho rodiče byli učitelé japonské literatury a ovlivnili ho láskou k západní kultuře, zejména k západní hudbě a literatuře. Studoval divadelní umění na univerzitě Waseda v Tokiu a poté vlastnil kavárnu Peter Cat spolu se svou ženou.

Kromě své literární kariéry je Haruki Murakami také vášnivým běžcem maratonů. Začal běhat ve svých třiceti třech letech a v roce 1996 dokázal dokončit závod na 100 km kolem jezera Saroma na ostrově Hokkaidó. Jeho knihy jsou často charakterizovány surrealistickými prvky a kombinací realistických a fantastických prvků. Murakamiho díla jsou přeložena do mnoha světových jazyků a získala mu celosvětovou slávu a uznání.

“So the fact that I’m me and no one else is one of my greatest assets. Emotional hurt is the price a person has to pay in order to be independent.”

“What gave money its true meaning was its dark-night namelessness, its breathtaking interchangeability.”

The Wind-up Bird Chronicle (1996-1997)
Kontext: Money had no name of course. And if it did have a name, it would no longer be money. What gave money its true meaning was its dark-night namelessness, its breathtaking interchangeability.

“Ever since time began (when was that, I wonder?), it's been moving ever forward without a moment's rest. And one of the privileges given to those who've avoided dying young is the blessed right to grow old.”

What I Talk about When I Talk about Running (2009)
Kontext: I don't care about the time I run. I can try all I want, but I doubt I'll ever be able to run the way I used to. I'm ready to accept that. It's not one of your happier realities, but that's what happens when you get older. Just as I have my own role to play, so does time. And time does its job much more faithfully, much more accurately, than I ever do. Ever since time began (when was that, I wonder?), it's been moving ever forward without a moment's rest. And one of the privileges given to those who've avoided dying young is the blessed right to grow old. The honour of physical decline is waiting, and you have to get used to that reality.

“My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives.”

Haruki Murakami kniha Norské dřevo

Norwegian Wood
Kontext: But who can say what's best? That's why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives.

“People's memories are maybe the fuel they burn to stay alive.”

Haruki Murakami kniha After Dark

After Dark
Kontext: People's memories are maybe the fuel they burn to stay alive. Whether those memories have any actual importance or not, it doesn't matter as far the maintenance of life is concerned. They are all just fuel. Advertising filler in the news paper, philosophy books, dirty pictures in a magazine, a bundle of ten-thousand-yen bills; when you feed them to fire, they are just paper. The fire isn't thinking 'oh This is Kant' or 'Oh This is Yomuri evening edition' or 'Nice tits', while it burns. To the fire, they are nothing but scraps of paper. It is the exact same thing. Important memories, not-so-important memories, totally useless memories : there is no distinction — they are all just fuel

“If there is a hard, high wall and an egg that breaks against it, no matter how right the wall or how wrong the egg, I will stand on the side of the egg.”

Jerusalem Prize acceptance speech, (2009)
Kontext: If there is a hard, high wall and an egg that breaks against it, no matter how right the wall or how wrong the egg, I will stand on the side of the egg. Why? Because each of us is an egg, a unique soul enclosed in a fragile egg. Each of us is confronting a high wall. The high wall is the system which forces us to do the things we would not ordinarily see fit to do as individuals... We are all human beings, individuals, fragile eggs. We have no hope against the wall: it's too high, too dark, too cold. To fight the wall, we must join our souls together for warmth, strength. We must not let the system control us -- create who we are. It is we who created the system.

“I put a stop to my thoughts and let time pass. Let time carry me along. Carry me to where a new darkness was configuring yet newer patterns.”

Zdroj: A Wild Sheep Chase: A Novel (1982), Chapter 38, And So Time Passes
Kontext: Time. Particles of darkness configured mysterious patterns on my retina. Patterns that degenerated without a sound, only to be replaced by new patterns. Darkness but darkness alone was shifting, like mercury in motionless space. I put a stop to my thoughts and let time pass. Let time carry me along. Carry me to where a new darkness was configuring yet newer patterns.

“We can, if we so choose, wander aimlessly over the continent of the arbitrary. Rootless as some winged seed blown about on a serendipitous spring breeze.”

Zdroj: A Wild Sheep Chase: A Novel (1982), Chapter 10, Counting Sheep
Kontext: We can, if we so choose, wander aimlessly over the continent of the arbitrary. Rootless as some winged seed blown about on a serendipitous spring breeze. Nonetheless, we can in the same breath deny that there is any such thing as coincidence. What's done is done, what's yet to be is clearly yet to be. In other words, sandwiched as we are between the "everything" that is behind us and the "zero" beyond us, ours is an ephemeral existence in which there is neither coincidence nor possibility. In actual practice, however, distinctions between the two interpretations amount to precious little. A state of affairs (as with most face-offs between interpretations) not unlike calling the same food by two different names. So much for metaphors.

“From now on, little by little, you must prepare yourself to face death.”

Thailand
Kontext: You are a beautiful person, Doctor. Clearheaded. Strong. But you seem always to be dragging your heart along the ground. From now on, little by little, you must prepare yourself to face death. If you devote all of your future energy to living, you will not be able to die well. You must begin to shift gears, a little at a time. Living and dying are, in a sense, of equal value.

“In a place far away from anyone or anywhere, I drifted off for a moment.”
