Haruki Murakami Quote
Ideas are like beards. Men don’t have them until they grow up. Somebody said that, but I can’t remember who.Voltaire, the younger man said. He rubbed his chin and smiled, a cheerful,unaffected smile. Voltaire might be off the mark, though, when it comes to me. I have hardly any beard at all, but have loved thinking about things since I was a kid.His face was indeed smooth, with no hint of a beard. His eyebrows were narrow, but thick, his ears nicely formed, like lovely seashells. I wonder if what Voltaire meant wasn’t ideas as much as meditation, Tsukuru said. The man inclined his head a fraction. Pain is what gives rise to meditation. It hasnothing to do with age, let alone beards.
