“Murakami's characters sense the potential liquification and destruction of everything. The aftershocks are psychological, and can be seen in characters who are some distance from the epicenter of the chaos in both time and space.

The truly great tragedy is the destruction of our human resources by our failure to fully utilize our abilities, which means that most men and women go to their graves with their music still in them.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
“He who fears is literally delivered to destruction.”
Howard Thurman
“We have it. The smoking gun. The evidence. The potential weapon of mass destruction we have been looking for as our pretext of invading Iraq. There's just one problem - it's in North Korea.”
Jon Stewart
“Love can be so destructive, but I have never enjoyed anything more; than to see such destruction.”
Enrique Vega
“Welcome to America! This is now, a tyrannical paradise. May all your wishes and dreams; come to a horrible and destructive end.”
