Haruki Murakami: "If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking."

People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.

There comes a point in your life when you realize that nothing will ever be the same, and you realize that from now on, time will be divided in two parts: before this and after this.

We learn not for school but for life.
