"If you remember me, I won't mind if the rest of the world forgets me" is a quote that comes from the novel Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami.

Kafka on the Shore proposes the opening of a small crack through which the human being could enter the world of the invisible and take control of his passage through life.

Haruki Murakami is one of the best known Japanese writers today. His works have a marked touch of surrealism and fatalism; in them he reflects loneliness and the longing to find love, mixing the real with the dreamlike, happiness with darkness.
