Haruki Murakami libro Kafka sulla spiaggia

Origine: Kafka on the Shore (2002), Chapter 12
Contesto: Most things are forgotten over time. Even the war itself, the life-and-death struggle people went through, is now like something from the distant past.

There are just too many things we have to think about every day, too many new things we have to learn. New styles, new information, new technology, new terminology... But still, no matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away. They remain with us forever, like a touchstone. And for me, what happened in the woods that day is one of these.
