“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner

“What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.”

“Най-силно се влюбват най-големите циници и най-големите песимисти, защото това е добре за тяхната същност. Моят цинизъм нямаше търпение да бъде опроверган. Хората, които говорят срещу любовта са онези, които най-силно се нуждаят от нея.", Любовта трае три години, Ф. Бегбеде”

“Вече никой не иска да ви предложи нещо, което има РИСК да не се хареса. Ето така убиваме новостите, оригиналността, креативността, протеста. Останалото само следва. Нашето клонирано съществуване. Нашето сомнамбулско затъпяване...Усамотяването на хората...Универсалната анестезирана грозота...”

“Love hasn't got anything to do with the heart, the heart's a disgusting organ, a sort of pump full of blood. Love is primarily concerned with the lungs. People shouldn't say "she's broken my heart" but "she's stifled my lungs." Lungs are the most romantic organs: lovers and artists always contract tuberculosis. It's not a coincidence that Chekhov, Kafka, D.H. Lawrence, Chopin, George Orwell and St Thérèse of Lisieux all died of it; as for Camus, Moravia, Boudard and Katherine Mansfield, would they have written the same books if it werent for TB?”

“Животът ми е пълен провал, но никой не го забелязва , защото съм учтив: постоянно се усмихвам , защото си мисля, че скриеш ли страданието си , то изчезва. Донякъде е така : не се ли вижда, все едно го няма , защото ние живеем във видимия свят, сред материалното и осезаемото. Болката ми не е материална. Тя е скътана.Аз отказвам да забележа самия себе си.”

“Обвинявам се в самадоволство, прикрито зад самобичуване.
Обвинявам се, че не умея да обичам.
Обвинявам се, че търся само одобрението на жените, а никога не се интересувам от проблемите им.
Обвинявам се в естетика без етика.
Обвинявам се в интелектуални чикии(впрочем и физически).
Обвинявам се в мисловен онанизъм (впрочем и физически).
Обвинявам се , че приписвам личните си недостатъци на моето поколение.
Обвинявам се , че смесвам разлюбване с повърхостност (защото неспособният на любов не може да разлюби).
Обвинявам се ,че търся идеалната жена, макар и да знам, че тя не съществува, и то за да подхранвам вечната си незадоволеност и да се жалвам самоугоднически.”

“Любовта представлява една великолепна катастрофа: знаеш, че пред теб има стена и въпреки всичко даваш газ. Тичаш право към своята гибел с усмивка на уста. С любопитство очакваш кога точно ще гръмне всичко. Любовта е единственото предварително програмирано разочарование, единственото нещастие, което всеки може да предвиди и всеки път желае отново.”

“So what can I do now?" she spoke up a minute later.
"Nothing," I said. "Just think about what comes before words. You owe that to the dead. As time goes on, you'll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn't, doesn't. Time solves most things. And what time can't solve, you have to solve yourself. Is that too much to ask?"
"A little," she said, trying to smile.
"Well, of course it is," I said, trying to smile too.
"I doubt that this makes sense to most people. But I think I'm right. People die all the time. Life is a lot more fragile than we think. So you should treat others in a way that leaves no regrets. Fairly, and if posible, sincerely. It's too easy not to make the effort, then weep and wring your hands after the person dies. Personally, I don't buy it."
Yuki leaned against the car door. "But that's real hard, isn't it?" she said.
"Real hard," I said. "But it's worth trying for.”

I want your flesh, your skin and blood and bones,

“I'm in love with you," he said quietly.

"Augustus," I said.

"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”

“The heart of a man is a small thing but it desires great matters. It is not big enough for a dog’s dinner but the whole world is not big enough for it. Man spares nothing that lives; he kills to feed himself, he kills to clothe himself, he kills to adorn himself, he kills to attack, he kills to defend himself, he kills to instruct himself, he kills to amuse himself, he kills for the sake of killing. From the lamb he tears its guts and makes his harp resound; from the wolf his most deadly tooth to polish his pretty works of art; from the elephant his tusks to make a toy for his child.(...)And who will exterminate him who exterminates all others?”
― paul hoffman, The Last Four Things

“... If the dead can come back to this earth and move unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the garish day and in the darkest night—amidst your happiest scenes and gloomiest hours—always, always; and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath; or if the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by.”
― Paul Hoffman, The Left Hand of God
