All HARUKI MURAKAMI Quotes about “Hurt”

“There are some things about myself I canâ€™t explain to anyone. There are some things I donâ€™t understand at all. I canâ€™t tell what I think about things or what Iâ€™m after. I donâ€™t know what my strengths are or what Iâ€™m supposed to do about them. But if I start thinking about these things in too much detail the whole thing gets scary. And if I get scared I can only think about myself. I become really self-centered, and without meaning to, I hurt people. So Iâ€™m not such a wonderful human being.”

“I've been lonely for so long. And I've been hurt so deeply. If only I could have met you again a long time ago, then I wouldn't have had to take all these detours to get here.' Tengo shook his head. 'I don't think so. This way is just fine. This is exactly the right time. For both of us. [...] We needed that much time.... to understand how lonely we really were.”
