“I've been lonely for so long. And I've been hurt so deeply. If only I could have met you again a long time ago, then I wouldn't have had to take all these detours to get here.'

― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

“She curled up and pressed her cheek against his chest. Her ear was right above his heart. She was listening to his thoughts. "I need to know this," Aomame said. "That we're in the same world, seeing the same things.”

“What I want is for the two of us to meet somewhere by chance one day, like, passing on the street, or getting on the same bus.”

“أسائل:
من للصغار الذين يطيرون -كالنحل- فوق التلال؟
ومن للعذارى اللواتي جعلن القلوب:
قوارير تحفظ رائحة البرتقال؟
ومن سيروض مهر الخيال؟
ومن سيضمد -في آخر الصيد- جرح الغزال؟
ومن للرجال..
أذا قيل "ما نسب القوم"؟
فانسكبت في خدود الرمال دموع السؤال؟”
