Life Quote by Haruki Murakami
““As far as I could recall, with long hair, she had been just another cute coed. From the girl who sat before me now, though, surged a fresh and physical life force. She was like a small animal that gas popped into the world with the coming of spring. Her eyes moved like an independent organism with joy, laughter, anger, amazement, and despair. I hadn't seen a face so vivid and expressive in ages, and I enjoyed watching it live and move.””
