Haruki Murakami Quote

But how do you see you? she asked.Ever read The Brothers Karamazov? I asked.Once, a long time ago.Well, toward the end, Alyosha is speaking to a young student named Kolya Krasotkin. And he says, Kolya, you're going to have a miserable future. But overall, you'll have a happy life.Two beers down, I hesitated before opening my third.When I first read that, I didn't know what Alyosha meant, I said. How was it possible for a life of misery to be happy overall? But then I understood, that misery could be limited to the future.I have no idea what you're talking about.Neither do I, I said. Not yet.
