Haruki Murakami, _Norwegian Wood_

""When you fall in love, the natural thing to do is give yourself to it. That's what I think. It's just a form of sincerity.""

- Haruki Murakami, _Norwegian Wood_

""It feels good to think about you when I'm warm in bed. I feel as if you're curled up there beside me, fast asleep. And I think how great it would be if it were true.""

- Haruki Murakami, _Norwegian Wood_

"And once the storm is over you won't remember you how made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what the storm's all about."

- Haruki Murakami, _Norwegian Wood_
