“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
“Everything is there, but there are no parts. Since there are no parts, there's no need to replace one thing with another. No need to remove anything, or add anything. You don't have to think about difficult things, just let yourself soak it all in.”— Haruki Murakami, amazon.com
