Tony Takitani QUOTES

1 " Each memory was now the shadow of a shadow of a shadow. The only thing that remained tangible to him was the sense of absence. "

― Haruki Murakami , Tony Takitani

3 " To him, they looked like shadows that his wife had left behind. Size 7 shadows of his wife hung there in long rows, layer upon layer, as if someone had gathered and hung up samples of the infinite possibilities (or at least the theoretically infinite possibilities) implied in the existence of a human being. "

― Haruki Murakami , Tony Takitani

5 " By marrying her, Tony Takitani brought the lonely period of his life to an end.
When he awoke in the morning, the first thing he did was look for her. When he found her sleeping next to him, he felt relief. When she wasn't there, he
felt anxious and searched the house for her. There was something odd for
him about not feeling lonely. The very fact that he had ceased to be lonely
caused him to fear the possibility of becoming lonely again. "

― Haruki Murakami , Tony Takitani

7 " The next thing that caught his attention was her clothes. He generally took no particular interest in what people wore, but there was something so wonderful about the way this girl dressed that it made a deep impression on him; indeed, one could even say it moved him. There were plenty of women around who dressed elegantly, and plenty more who dressed to impress, but this girl was different. Utterly different. She wore her clothes with such naturalness and grace that she could have been a bird that had enveloped itself in a special wind as it prepared to fly off to another world. He had never seen a woman wear her clothes with such apparent joy. "

― Haruki Murakami , Tony Takitani
