"Family – even if that includes cats too – is a living thing that has a certain balance, and when one corner of it falls apart, it doesn’t take long before everything subtly breaks down." - Haruki Murakami on his cat Kirin's death
Memory became one of my most valued emotional tools, a means of survival, even. Like a warm kitten, softly curled inside an oversized coat pocket, fast asleep. – With The Beatles, Haruki Murakami
"Along with music, books were my great joy. No matter how busy, or how broke, or how exhausted I was, no one could take those pleasures away from me."
