Day 117: "That's how people live in the real world: forcing stuff on each other... ...I never could stand being forced to do something I didn't want to do at a time I didn't want to do it. Whenever I was able to do something I liked to do, though, when I wanted to do it, and the way I wanted to do it, I'd give it everything I had." - Haruki Murakami #alexaphotoaday #april #theme April 27, 2014 at 10:55PM

Day 115: “Most [climbers climb] not because they want to live longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest. If you're going to while away the years, it's far better to live them with clear goals and fully alive then in a fog, and I believe [climbing] helps you to do that. Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits: that's the essence of [climbing], and a metaphor for life—and for me, for writing as whole. I believe many [climbers] would agree.” - Haruki Murakami, What I Talk about when I Talk about Running #alexaphotoaday #april #theme April 25, 2014 at 11:23PM

Day 114: "As he made his morning coffee, Tengo found himself silently wishing that this peaceful time could go on forever. If he said it aloud, some keen-eared demon somewhere might overhear him.

The world seemed to have a better sense of how you wanted things not to go." - Haruki Murakami, 1Q84 #alexaphotoaday #april #theme April 24, 2014 at 06:33PM

Day 112: "If there is a hard, high wall and an egg that breaks against it, no matter how right the wall or how wrong the egg, I will stand on the side of the egg. Why? Because each of us is an egg, a unique soul enclosed in a fragile egg. Each of us is confronting a high wall. The high wall is the system which forces us to do the things we would not ordinarily see fit to do as individuals . . . We are all human beings, individuals, fragile eggs. We have no hope against the wall: it's too high, too dark, too cold. To fight the wall, we must join our souls together for warmth, strength. We must not let the system control us -- create who we are. It is we who created the system." - Haruki Murakami, Jerusalem Prize acceptance speech #alexaphotoaday #april #theme April 22, 2014 at 05:52PM

Day 104: "Writing novels is much the same. You gather up bones and make your gate, but no matter how wonderful the gate might be, that alone doesn't make it a living breathing novel.
