Haruki Murakami

Murakami has written some of the most emotionally poignant books I have come across. Here are some excerpts -

“She waited for the train to pass. Then she said, "I sometimes think that people’s hearts are like deep wells. Nobody knows what’s at the bottom. All you can do is imagine by what comes floating to the surface every once in a while.” 
- Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

“Whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting.” 
- Kafka on the Shore

“No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go, people can never be anything but themselves. That's all.” 
-Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

And the best one,

“If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.” 
-Kafka on the Shore
