– George Orwell

If You Loved Someone

To learn something, to master something, anything, is as sweet as first love.

The minute people fall in love they become liars.
– Harlan Ellison

I know that pain is the most important thing in the universes. Greater than survival, greater than love, greater even than the beauty it brings about. For without pain, there can be no pleasure. Without sadness, there can be no happiness. Without misery there can be no beauty. And without these, life is endless, hopeless, doomed and damned.
– Harlan Ellison

If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there’s salvation in life. Even if you can’t get together with that person.
– Haruki Murakami

Sometimes when I look at you, I feel I’m gazing at a distant star.It’s dazzling, but the light is from tens of thousands of years ago.Maybe the star doesn’t even exist any more. Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything.
– Haruki Murakami

If you remember me, then I don’t care if everyone else forgets.
– Haruki Murakami

Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who’s in love gets sad when they thinkof their lover. It’s like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven’t seen in a long time.
– Haruki Murakami

I think you still love me, but we can’t escape the fact that I’m not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So I’m not blaming you for falling in love with another woman. I’m not angry, either. I should be, but I’m not. I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong.
– Haruki Murakami
