Quote by Haruki Murakami

Losing you is most difficult for me, but the nature of my love for you is what matters. If it distorts into half-truth, then perhaps it is better not to love you. I must keep my mind but loose you.

Summary

This quote suggests that although losing the person is incredibly challenging, the speaker believes it is more important to maintain a genuine and truthful love.

The speaker grapples with the difficult choice of finding a balance between their emotions and their principles, ultimately leaning towards prioritizing their own mental clarity over holding onto a distorted love.

... I was reminded of a remark of Willa Cather's, that you can't paint sunlight, you can only paint what it does with shadows on a wall. If you examine a life, as Socrates has been so tediously advising us to do for so many centuries, do you really examine a life, or do you examine the shadows it casts on other lives? Entity or relationships? Objective reality or the vanishing point of a multiple perspective exercise? Prism or the rainbows it refracts? And what if you're the wall? What if you never cast a shadow or rainbow of your own, but have only caught those cast by others?
