##“I always feel like I’m struggling to become someone else. Like I’m trying to find a new place, grab hold of a new life, a new personality. I guess it’s part of growing up, yet it’s also an attempt to reinvent myself. By becoming a different me, I could free myself of everything. I seriously believed I could escape myself- as long as I made the effort. But I always hit a dead end. No matter where I go, I still end up me. What’s missing never changes. The scenery may change, but I’m still the same old incomplete person. The same missing elements torture me with a hunger that I can never satisfy. I guess that lack itself is as close as I’ll come to define myself. For your sake, I’d like to become a new person. It may not be easy, but if I give it my best shot, perhaps I can manage to change. The truth is, though, if put in the same situation again, I might very well do the same thing all over. I might very well hurt you all over again. I can’t promise anything. That’s what I meant when I said I had no right. I just don’t have the confidence to win over that force in me.” — Haruki Murakami; South of the Border, West of the Sun

##想象一下: 你是农夫,一个人住在西伯利亚荒原,每天每天都在地里耕作,举目四望一无所见.北边是北边的地平 线,东边是东边的地平线,南边是南边的地平线,西边是西边的地平线,别无他物.每天早上太阳从东边的地平线升起,你就到田里干活;太阳正对头顶时,你收工吃午饭;太阳落入西边...
