A Source Of Inspiration

There's a story i really love by Haruki Murakami, called 'On Seeing The 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning'. Here's a snippet from the story, if you get a chance, search it in google, and give it a read. It's beautiful.

'One beautiful April morning, on a narrow side street in Tokyo's fashionable Harujuku neighborhood, I walked past the 100% perfect girl.
Tell you the truth, she's not that good-looking. She doesn't stand out in any way. Her clothes are nothing special. The back of her hair is still bent out of shape from sleep. She isn't young, either - must be near thirty, not even close to a "girl," properly speaking. But still, I know from fifty yards away: She's the 100% perfect girl for me. The moment I see her, there's a rumbling in my chest, and my mouth is as dry as a desert'.
