All HARUKI MURAKAMI Quotes about “Curiosity”

“Irrepressible curiosity vied with an instinctive fear.”
“Iâ€™ve had that kind of experience myself: Iâ€™m looking at a map and I see someplace that makes me think, â€˜I absolutely have to go to this place, no matter whatâ€™. And most of the time, for some reason, the place is far away and hard to get to. I feel this overwhelming desire to know what kind of scenery the place has, or what people are doing there. Itâ€™s like measles - you canâ€™t show other people exactly where the passion comes from. Itâ€™s curiosity in the purest sense. An inexplicable inspiration.”
“Curiosity can bring guts out of hiding at times, maybe even get them going. But curiosity usually evaporates. Gust have to go for the long haul. Curiosity's like a fun friend you can't really trust. It turns you on and then it leaves you to make it on your own - with whatever guts you can muster”
“She's always polite and kind, but her words lack the kind of curiosity and excitement you'd normally expect. Her true feelings- assuming such things exist- remain hidden away. Except for when a practical sort of decision has to be made, she never gives her personal opinion about anything. She seldom talks about herself, instead letting others talk, nodding warmly as she listens. But most people start to feel vaguely uneasy when talking with her, as if they suspect they're wasting her time, trampling on her private, graceful, dignified world. And that impression is, for the most part, correct.”
“If she did experience sex-or something close to it-in high school, I'm sure it would have been less out of sexual desire or love than literary curiosity.”
