    Haruki Murakami

    Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

    Salman Mehedy Titas

    Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.”
    Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

    Michael    Connelly
    “Los Angeles was the kind of place where everybody was from somewhere else and nobody really droppped anchor. It was a transient place. People drawn by the dream, people running from the nightmare. Twelve million people and all of them ready to make a break for it if necessary. Figuratively, literally, metaphorically -- any way you want to look at it -- everbody in L.A. keeps a bag packed. Just in case.”
    Michael Connelly, The Brass Verdict

  • #16
    Alex Garland

    Katja Millay
    “People like to say love is unconditional, but it's not, and even if it was unconditional, it's still never free. There's always an expectation attached. They always want something in return. Like they want you to be happy or whatever and that makes you automatically responsible for their happiness because they won't be happy unless you are ... I just don't want that responsibility.”
    Katja Millay, The Sea of Tranquility

    Katja Millay
    “I live in a world without magic or miracles. A place where there are no clairvoyants or shapeshifters, no angels or superhuman boys to save you. A place where people die and music disintegrates and things suck.”
    Katja Millay, The Sea of Tranquility

  • #22

    “Why do we smile? Why do we laugh? Why do we feel alone? Why are we sad and confused? Why do we read poetry? Why do we cry when we see a painting? Why is there a riot in the heart when we love? Why do we feel shame? What is that thing in the pit of your stomach called desire?”
    Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

    “Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”

    Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
