Haruki Murakami

“It’s true” he said. “No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself.
It’s like your shadow. It’s follow you everywhere.”

Haruki Murakami (Kyoto, 1949), After the Quake. Ufo in Kushiro (2001)

"My shadow is only half of what it should be."
"Everyone has their shortcomings."

Haruki Murakami (Kyoto, 1949), Kafka on the shore (2002)
