Here are a few quotes from the novel "Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami:
"I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it - to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more."
"I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that I'll never forget these days, these nights, this pain. I'll remember the warmth of the sun on my skin, the sound of the rain, the taste of your lips."
"But when I think back on it now, I realize that I must have loved her all along, and that was why I was so unhappy."
"I didn't know what to do or where to go. It was like I was standing on a cliff, but there was no solid ground beneath my feet."
"I felt like I was in a dream, like I wasn't really there, like I was watching myself from far away."
"The more you hide your feelings, the more they show. The more you deny your feelings, the more they grow."
"I felt like I was living in a world where everything was the opposite of what it should be."
"I thought of Naoko, and the words came to me: 'I love you.' But I didn't say them out loud. I just thought them over and over again."
"I felt like I was stuck in a world where nothing was real and everything was just a copy of a copy of a copy."
"The world is not a wish-granting factory."
