“I'm scared. As I told you, I'm completely empty. Do you know what it means to be completely empty? . . . Being empty is like a vacant house. An unlocked, vacant house. Anybody can come in, anytime they want. That's what scares me the most.”— Haruki Murakami, amazon.com
“I'm not trying to die. I'm just waiting for death to come. Like sitting on a bench at the station, waiting for the train.”— Haruki Murakami, amazon.com
