"That's wrong," she declared. "Everyone must have one……" — Haruki Murakami

"That's wrong," she declared. "Everyone must have one thing that they can excel at. It's just a matter of drawing it out, isn't it? But school doesn't know how to draw it out. It crushes the gift. It's no wonder most people never get to be what they want to be. They just get ground down."

— Haruki Murakami
