There was something strange about her becoming 20. I felt as if the only thing that made sense, whether for Naoko or for me, was to keep going back and forth between 18 and 19. After 18 would come 19, and after 19, 18, of course.
Haruki MurakamiTodo o ser humano possui um talento que lhe permite exceder-se pelo menos numa área concreta. O problema consiste no facto de as pessoas não saberem desenvolver as suas capacidades inatas, acabando por perdê-las ao desbarato.

Haruki MurakamiI'm not totally uncompetitive. It's just that for some reason I never cared all that much whether I beat others or lost to them. This sentiment remained pretty much unchanged after I grew up. It doesn't matter what field you're talking about -- beating somebody else just doesn't do it for me.
