something japanese III: haruki murakami quotes



"Whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting."


"In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else.
It's important to combine the two in just the right amount."


“I am 55 years old now. It takes three years to write one book.
I don't know how many books I will be able to write before I die.
It is like a countdown. So with each book I am praying - please let me live until I am finished.”


"I'm not so weird to me."


"Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most."


"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."
from What I Talk About When I Talk About Running


"Sometimes I get real lonely sleeping with you."
from A Wild Sheep Chase


"Memories are what warm you up from the inside. But they're also what tear you apart."
from Kafka on the Shore


"Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all?
Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves.
Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?"
from Sputnik Sweetheart

shopping fantasy: loafer







Rag and Bone Canterbury Loafer is my fantasy.
But Zara loafer is my reality.
Could we make a difference just from pictures?
Love the looks from la garconne.

portrait by magga


Magga came back from school with a piece of paper.
He told me that today he drew my picture in the class.
Due to his lack of interests in any kind of art activities,
he never wants to color, to paint or to draw anything,
to see my first portrait by him really makes me smile.
And of course....
it's a smile from the deepest of my heart as he always asking for.

Claudio Silvestrin


I always wonder if we could really live in a minimal space with a little kid.
It must be a hard work keeping things in places.
