I closed my eyes and listened carefully for the descendants of Sputnik, even now circling the earth, gravity their only tie to the planet. Lonely metal souls in the unimpeded darkness of space, they meet, pass each other, and part, never to meet again. No words passing between them. No promises to keep.

You don’t get it, do you?" I said. “It’s not a question of ‘what then’. Some people get a kick out of reading railroad timetables and that’s all they do all day.

I don't know you well enough to force stuff on you."

"You mean, if you knew me better, you'd force stuff on me like everybody else?"

"It's possible," I said. "That's how people live in the real world: forcing stuff on each other."

"You wouldn't do that. I can tell. I'm an expert when it comes to forcing stuff and having stuff forced on you. You're just not that type. That's why I can relax with you. Do you have any idea how many people there are in the world who like to force stuff on people and have stuff forced on them? Tons! And then they make a big fuss, like, 'I forced her,' 'You forced me'! That's what they like. But I don't like it. I just do it 'cause I have to.

But no one was asking me. I was here to do a job, and gray steel lockers or pale peach jukebox was no business of mine.

I realize now that the reality of things is not something you convey to people but something you make.

Haruki Murakami


Go to quote


Hasta ahora había deseado permanecer eternamente en los diecisiete o dieciocho años. Pero ya no lo pretendo. Ya no soy un adolescente. Tengo sentido de la responsabilidad. Kizuki, ya no soy el que estaba contigo. He cumplido veinte años. Y debo pagar un precio por seguir viviendo.
