Quotes from Haruki



 "De que hablo cuando hablo de correr"
"What I talk about when I talk about running"


  • A menudo, la gente que tiende a lo sano sólo piensa en lo sano, y la que tiende a lo insano sólo piensa en lo insano. Pero estas inclinaciones extremas impiden que la vida resulte verdaderamente fructífera.


Often, the people who tends to the healthy thing only think about the healthy thing, and the one that tends to the insane thing only thinks about the insane thing. But these extreme inclinations prevent the life from turning out to be truly fruitful.


  • Al ser humano no le cuesta proseguir con algo que le gusta, pero sí con algo que no le gusta. Supongo que la voluntad, o algo parecido a la voluntad, tiene que ver un poco con ello. Aun así, por mucha fuerza de voluntad que uno posea, por mucho que sea de los que no se dan por vencidos, si algo no le va, no podrá hacerlo durante largo tiempo. Y, aunque pudiera, seguro que su salud se resentiría.


It is not difficult to the human being to continue with anything that he likes, but yes with anything that he does not like. I suppose that the will, or a little seemed to the will, has to do a little with it. Nevertheless, by many willpower that one possesses, for much that belongs to those who do not give up, if something does not go, it will not be able to do it during long time. And, although it could, it is sure that its health would suffer.
