Quote by Haruki Murakami
Mere humans who root through their refrigerators at three o'clock in the morning can only produce writing that matches what they do. And that includes me.
Summary
This quote suggests that the quality of one's creative output, particularly in writing, is limited by their mundane and ordinary experiences as human beings. The act of rummaging through a refrigerator in the early hours exemplifies these average human activities. The quote implies that since writers draw inspiration from their daily lives, their work can only reflect the ordinary if that's all they engage with. The speaker identifies with this limitation, acknowledging that their writing may also be bound by their ordinary existence.
