Here's what I think, Mr. Wind-Up Bird, " said May Kasahara. "Everybody's born with some different thing at the core of their existence. And that thing, whatever it is, becomes like a heat source that runs each person from the inside. I have one too, of course. Like everybody else. But sometimes it gets out of hand. It swells or shrinks inside me, and it shakes me up. What I'd really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person. But I can't seem to do it. They just don't get it. Of course, the problem could be that I'm not explaining it very well, but I think it's because they're not listening very well. They pretend to be listening, but they're not, really. So I get worked up sometimes, and I do some crazy things. Haruki Murakami
About This Quote

When you are in love, things are different. It is like you are in a feverish state of mind, where everything on your mind is about the person that you love. You need not explain yourself to them, but can see what they want to understand. You would be happy spending all your time with them.
