Hope World Emptiness

More From Haruki Murakami

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.

'mo often told me i forget how cruel it is too easily.' with his burned fingers, farid stroke her fair hair. it shone even in the dark. 'they're all cruel,' he said. 'the world i come from, the world you come from, and this one, too. maybe the people don't see the cruelty in your world right away, it's better hidden, but it's there all the same.
Dark Thinking Hair
A first attempt to recover the right of self government may fail, so may a second, a third, etc. but as a younger and more instructed race comes on, the sentiment becomes more and more intuitive, and a fourth, a fifth, or some subsequent one of the ever renewed attempts will ultimately succeed... to attain all this, however, rivers of blood must yet flow, and years of desolation pass over; yet the object is worth rivers of blood and years of desolation. for what inheritance so valuable can man leave to his posterity?

I dread the loss of her i've never touched love keeps me a slave in a cage of tears i gnaw my tongue with which to her i can never speak i miss a woman who was never born i kiss a woman across the years that say we shall never meet everything passes everything perishes everything palls my thought walks away with a killing smile leaving discordant anxiety which roars in my soul no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope
