Haruki Murakami, on writing:


You have to dream intentionally.

Most people dream a dream when they are asleep.

But to be a writer, you have to dream while you are awake, intentionally.

Haruki Murakami, on writing:



For me, writing a novel is like having a dream.

Writing a novel lets me intentionally dream while I'm still awake.

I can continue yesterday's dream today,
something you can't normally do in everyday life.

- Haruki Murakami.
