"I don’t know how many good books I still have in me; I hope there are another four or five." ― Haruki Murakami Topic(s): Hope More From Haruki Murakami "Confidence, as a teenager? Because I knew what I loved. I loved to read; I loved to listen to music; and I loved cats. Those three things. So, even though I was an only kid, I could be happy because I knew what I loved." "I didn’t read so much Japanese literature. Because my father was a teacher of Japanese literature, I just wanted to do something else." "Mere humans who root through their refrigerators at three o’clock in the morning can only produce writing that matches what they do. And that includes me." More In Hope "I have lived in the only decades I could have lived in, and hope to live through at least a few more."― Orson Scott Card "Well, I’m like a drug addict, I’m always saying I’m going to stop, and then I don’t, what I’ve said consistently is that I hope I know when to stop: when it starts to get repetitive."― Stephen King "The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful."― Noam Chomsky
