Light Giving Benefits

More From Haruki Murakami

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.
Wall Artist Light
'don't be the moth. be the light bulb.' when i say that i mean don't follow the crowd. just shine. be the light bulb. do your thing. pave your own path.

I wait for the next opportunity to have something to do with food. if i get rested, my mind just starts creating new dishes - click, click, click.
Opportunity Creating Waiting
Would a minute have mattered? no, probably not, although his young son appeared to have a very accurate internal clock. possibly even 2 minutes would be okay. three minutes, even. you could go to five minutes, perhaps. but that was just it. if you could go for five minutes, then you'd go to ten, then half an hour, a couple of hours...and not see your son all evening. so that was that. six o'clock, prompt. every day. read to young sam. no excuses. he'd promised himself that. no excuses. no excuses at all. once you had a good excuse, you opened the door to bad excuses.

Success is how you collect your minutes. you spend millions of minutes to reach one triumph, one moment, then you spend maybe a thousand minutes enjoying it. if you were unhappy through those millions of minutes, what good is the thousand minutes of triumph? it doesn't equate... life is made of small pleasures. good eye contact over the breakfast table with your wife. a moment of touching a friend. happiness is made of those tiny successes. the big ones come too infrequently. if you don't have all those zillions of tiny successes, the big ones don't mean anything.
Life Happiness Happy
For young players, their minds are not overloaded. i am 54 with four kids and i do many other things. even if i stopped everything else, spent months working just on chess, for a long match against most of the top players, a classical match, six hours, say, i don't stand a chance. i have a better chance in shorter matches. rapid is 25 minutes, or blitz events where you have five minutes to make a move, or bullet games, where it is one minute. for blitz, five-minutes chess, i would be top ten, top five. but longer games, no chance.

Similar Quotes
Those whose spiritual awareness has been awakened never make a false move. they don't have to avoid evil. they are so replete with love that whatever they do is a good action. they are fully conscious that they are not the doer of their actions, but only servants of god.

After weeks of watching the roof leak i fixed it tonight by moving a single board

Verily all things move within your being in constant half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that which you would escape.
Life Moving Half
I felt like i was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares, the one where you have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you can't make your body move fast enough... but this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, i wasn't running for my life: i was racing to save something infinitely more precious. my own life meant little to me today.
