Haruki Murakami Quote

I laughed. You’re too young to be so … pessimistic, I said, using the English word.Pessi-what?Pessimistic. It means looking only at the dark side of things.Pessimistic … pessimistic … She repeated the English to herself over and over, and then she looked up at me with a fierce glare. I’m only sixteen, she said, and I don’t know much about the world, but I do know one thing for sure. If I’m pessimistic, then the adults in this world who are not pessimistic are a bunch of idiots.
