There are times when the understanding does not come until later, when it no longer matters. Other times I do what I must do, not knowing my own mind, and I am led astray.
Haruki MurakamiSorel's basic character flaws had all cemented by the age of fifteen, a fact which further elicited my sympathy. To have all the building blocks of your life in place by that age was, by any standard, a tragedy. It was as good as sealing yourself into a dungeon. Walled in, with nowhere to go but your own doom.
Walls.
A world completely surrounded by walls.

They had stolen my memories from me!
Nobody had that right. Nobody! My memories belonged to me. Stealing memories was stealing time. I got so mad, I lost all fear. I didn't care what happened. I want to live! I told myself. I will live. I will get out of this insane netherworld and get back my stolen memories back and live. Forget the end of the world, I was ready to reclaim my whole self.

That's the way it is with the mind. Nothing is ever equal. Like a river, as it flows, the course changes with the terrain.

The mind is strong. It survives, even without thought. Even with everything taken away, it holds a seed—your self.
Haruki MurakamiNo two human beings are alike; it's a question of identity. And what is identity? The cognitive system arisin' from the aggregate memories of that individual's past experiences. The layman's word for this is the mind. Not two human beings have the same mind. At the same time, human beings have almost no grasp of their own cognitive systems. I don't, you don't, nobody does. All we know—or think we know—is but a fraction of the whole cake. A mere tip of the icing.

Ne radi se o tome da ne vjerujem u savremenu književnost, ali ne želim da traćim dragocjeno vrijeme na čitanje knjiga čiju vrijednost nije potvrdilo vrijeme. Život je kratak.

When you’re surrounded by endless possibilities, one of the hardest things you can do is pass them up.

Je pense que j’ai soif d’égalité et de justice autant que
n’importe qui. Mais je déteste par-dessus tout les gens qui manquent
d’imagination. Ceux que T. S. Eliot appelait « les hommes vides ».
Ils bouchent leur vide avec des brins de paille qu’ils ne sentent pas, et ne se
rendent pas compte de ce qu’ils font. Et avec leurs mots creux, ils essaient
d’imposer leur propre insensibilité aux autres.
