Best Quote of the Week ~ [5/12/13]

Isolation by Geri Johnstone

          "I'm writing this letter at an outdoor cafe on a side street in Rome, sipping espresso as thick as the devil's sweat, and I have this strange feeling that I'm not myself anymore. It's hard to put into words, but I guess it's like I was fast asleep, and somebody came, disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again....My eyes tell me I'm the same old me, but something's different from usual. Not that I can clearly recall what 'usual' was."
~Sumire (from Haruki Murakami's Sputnik Sweetheart; [Never read the book, so I don't know the chapter or page number])

Best Quote of the Week ~ [10/28/12]

Norwegian Wood: Another fantastic book by Haruki Murakami

          "Letters are just pieces of paper," I said. "Burn them, and what stays in your heart will stay; keep them, and what vanishes will vanish."
~Toru Watanabe (from Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood; Chapter 11, page 292)
