“When I finish work and get in bed, I always think: let me not wake up. Let me just go on sleeping. Cause then I wouldn’t have to think about anything. I do have dreams, though. I keep running and running until they finally catch me and take me away. They’re chasing me when I’m awake, and they’re chasing me into my dreams when I’m asleep: I can never relax.”
—After Dark, Haruki Murakami
