A Quote by Haruki Murakami

If you never noticed, it never happened. — © Haruki Murakami
If you never noticed, it never happened.
It's curious the way we get nostalgic for some hoped-for thing that never happened, as if something that never happened were in the past.
There's always some days you wish things had never happened, like you'd never been born, that sort of thing but I'm not the kind of person anyway that can just sit around and say, "gee, I wish that never happened." I don't ever do that. There's no point. That is a total and complete waste of time.
I never expected to be a star, never counted on it, never even wanted it. Not that I didn't enjoy it all when it happened.
Whatever has happened in your past, it's - you can never deny it. I mean, you can never wash what's happened before in your life out of you.
You can do nice things for people all of the time and it's never noticed but as soon as you make one mistake it's never forgotten.
In case you never noticed, the path you never chose has chosen you.
Rome is burning, Jesus says. Drop your fiddle, change your life and come to Me. Let go of the good days that never were - a regimented church you never attended, traditional virtues you never practiced, legalistic obedience you never honored, and a sterile orthodoxy you never accepted. The old era is done. The decisive inbreak of God has happened.
The eternal principle, which never was born, never will die: it is in all things: it is in you now. You are the wave on the face of the ocean. When the wave is gone, is the water gone? Has anything happened? Nothing has happened. It is a play, a game, a dance.
All my life, I never gave up on music and though there was a lot of disappointment for some that the commercial thing never happened, it has never been a disappointment for me.
I noticed this process of waking, and predicted with terrifying logic that one of these years not far away I would be awake continuously and never slip back, and never be free of myself again.
I'll never forget the day when a woman came up to me and said, 'No, you could never be on a magazine cover. Your face features don't work; your eyes are small, you have a small face but a big nose.' I was only 14 and I had never noticed any of that stuff, you know?
The strangest thing has happened. I really missed my dog. That's never happened to me before. You know, on a long tour you do hear people saying they miss their pets. I never have. But last night I started really missing my dog. It's very odd, 'cause I don't have a dog.
The young have aspirations that never come to pass, the old have reminiscences of what never happened.
Cricket was never my first choice. I never wanted to be a sportsperson. It just happened. It was destiny.
I just never try to beat somebody on the scorecards. It's never happened. It's not in me, I think.
I never actually studied an American accent. I never learned it. I never had anybody teach me how to do it. It just kind of happened. I think I probably spent a lot of my childhood in front of my mirror pretending to do Cornflake commercials like the kids I've seen on TV from America.
