„A gentleman shouldn't go on and on about what he does to stay fit. At least that's how I see it.“
„Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.“
„I stop every day right at the point where I feel I can write more. Do that, and the next day's work goes surprisingly smoothly. […] To keep on going, you have to keep up the rhythm. This is the important thing for long-term projects. Once you set the pace, the rest will follow.“
„So the fact that I'm me and no one else is one of my greatest assets. Emotional hurt is the price a person has to pay in order to be independent.“
„Ever since time began (when was that, I wonder?), it's been moving ever forward without a moment's rest. And one of the privileges given to those who've avoided dying young is the blessed right to grow old. The honor of physical decline is waiting, and you have to get used to that reality.“
„It's precisely because of the pain, precisely because we want to overcome that pain, that we can get the feeling, through this process, of really being alive — or at least a partial sense of it.“

Ik lees graag boeken van schrijvers die schrijven over schrijven. On writing van king is zo een favoriet, en ook deze heb ik graag gelezen. Murakami trekt parallellen tussen langeduurlopen en een boek schrijven. Hij is met beiden vrij laat begonnen en boekte met beide meer dan gemiddelde resultaten. Oh en een murakami is altijd een plezier om te lezen natuurlijk.
Finished this in one day via audiobook at work. Pretty interesting! I’m getting into running and thought I’d give this a try. It’s okay! I preferred the book about novel writing more personally :)
