More From Haruki Murakami

The one thing i will never do is buy a shirt because of its name, especially when it's $600 for that shirt. to me, that's ridiculous. it's just a shirt; it's not worth the money.

The brain "fills in" the missing information from the blind spot. notice what you see in the location of the dot when it's in your blind spot. when the dot disappears, you do not perceive a hole of whiteness or blackness in its place; instead your brain invents a patch of the background pattern. your brain, with no information from that particular spot in visual space, fills in with the patterns around it. you're not perceiving what's out there. you're perceiving whatever your brain tells you.

Conceit, arrogance and egotism are the essentials of patriotism... patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one surrounded by an iron gate. those who have had the fortune of being born on some particular spot consider themselves nobler, better, grander, more intelligent than those living beings inhabiting any other spot. it is, therefore, the duty of everyone living on that chosen spot to fight, kill and die in the attempt to impose his superiority upon all the others.
Patriotic Fighting Intelligent
The pain comes from more than the facts of circumstance, or the deeds of others. it comes from within. from understanding what we lost. it comes from knowing how foolish we were - vain, arrogant children - when we thought ourselves happy. it comes from knowing how fragile and doomed the old ways were, just when we thought them and ourselves, secure!. the pain comes from knowing we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. it comes from knowing we can never be children again.
Children Pain Knowing
Strive for perfection - never be content with mediocrity. you don't win until you conquer the little flaws. you don't beat these great ones until your form is perfect. this is true in all of life. a flaw in a product can ruin a business. a personal failing, a little one, can ruin a person's life. don't be content with mediocrity - strive to live up to the greatest within you.

Love is like the wild rose-briar; friendship like the holly-tree. the holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, but which will bloom most constantly? the wild rose-briar is sweet in spring ,its summer blossoms scent the air; yet wait till winter comes again, and who will call the wild-briar fair? then, scorn the silly rose-wreath now, and deck thee with holly's sheen, that, when december blights thy brow, he still may leave thy garland green.
Summer Sweet Spring
