“¿Qué podemos decir que sea cierto, de la poesía? Pues que ahí está. En el acorde de dos notas que hechizan e impiden escuchar el resto de la música, en la imprecisa tensión de dos colores que se tocan, en la línea que contornea una forma, acariciándola; en la sencilla frase leída que captura algo de nosotros, por un instante nos ata y nos deja como cualquier amante; y también en la ternura del sol que cae como un gigante cansado en los ocasos, en la magnificencia de una abeja sobre un pétalo, en la caricia del agua cayendo sobre la piel de un cuerpo amado, en la opacidad de la vieja tetera de la abuela, en el aroma de nuestras vidas depositado en los armarios; o en el leve giro de una mirada que embruja y nos deja a punto de caer en el amor; y en todas las cosas que en amor o en dolor, amargura o gozo, vienen a nosotros tocadas por el encanto de lo que simplemente es bello: la poesía está”
― Fernando Molano Vargas, Vista desde una acera

“De verdad, si yo supiera escribir poemas, escribiría uno que dijera que mi hogar es cualquier lugar donde mi amigo esté”

“Snow kissed me last night until my mouth was sore. He kissed me so much, I was worried I’d Turn him with all my saliva. He held himself up on all fours above me and made me reach up for his mouth—and I did. I would again. I’d cross every line for him.
I’m in love with him.
And he likes this better than fighting.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Carry On

“For a moment—not even a moment, a split second—I imagine him saying, 'The truth is, I'm desperately attracted to you.' And then I imagine myself spitting in his face. And then I imagine licking it off his cheek and kissing him. (Because I'm disturbed. Ask anyone.)”
― Rainbow Rowell, Carry On

“He is slow, and the sea sings to us both, but he returns to me.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Scorpio Races

“That's a poor match, Sean Kendrick," says a voice at my elbow. It's the other sister from Fathom & Sons, and she follows my gaze to Puck. "Neither of you are a housewife."
I don't look away from Puck. "I think you assume too much, Dory Maud."
"You leave nothing to assumption," Dory Maud says. "You swallow her with your eyes. I'm surprised there's any of her left for the rest of us to see.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Scorpio Races

“Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it -- to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once. ”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“What you do when no one is guiding you determines who you are.”
― F.C. Yee, The Rise of Kyoshi

“It was said that each Avatar was born in fitting times, to an era that needed them. Judging by its start, the era of Kyoshi would be marred by uncertainty, fear, and death, the only gifts she seemed capable of producing for the world. The people would never revere her like they did Yangchen or smile at her like they did Kuruk. Then let it be so, she thought. She would fight her ill fortune, her bad stars, and protect those who might despise her to the very end of her days.”
― F.C. Yee, Avatar: The Rise of Kyoshi
