Paulo Coelho
“All of us have had this experience. At some point, we have each said through our tears, “I’m suffering for a love that’s not worth it.” We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules.
But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering, for in every love lies the seed of our growth. The more we love, the closer we come to spiritual experience. Those who are truly enlightened, those whose souls are illuminated by love, have been able to overcome all of the inhibitions and preconceptions of their era. They have been able to sing, to laugh, and to pray out loud; they have danced and shared what Saint Paul called “the madness of saintliness.” They have been joyful—because those who love conquer the world and have no fear of loss. True love is an act of total surrender.”
Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

J.R.R. Tolkien
“I feel like spring after winter, and sun on the leaves; and like trumpets and harps and all the songs I have ever heard!”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

A.S. Byatt
“To a dusty shelf we aspire.”
A.S. Byatt, Possession

Leo Tolstoy
“Ah, don’t grieve, little falcon,’ he said with that tenderly melodious gentleness with which old Russian women speak. ‘Don’t grieve, little friend: you suffer an hour, you live an age! So it is, my dear. And we live here, thank God, with no offense. There’s bad people, and there’s good”
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

Patrick Rothfuss
“Her eyes were dark. Dark as chocolate, dark as coffee, dark as the polished wood of my father’s lute. They were set in a fair face, oval. Like a teardrop. Her easy smile could stop a man’s heart. Her lips were red. Not the garish painted red so many women believe makes them desirable. Her lips were always red, morning and night. As if minutes before you saw her, she had been eating sweet berries, or drinking heart’s blood. No matter where she stood, she was in the center of the room. Do not misunderstand. She was not loud, or vain. We stare at a fire because it flickers, because it glows. The light is what catches our eyes, but what makes a man lean close to a fire has nothing to do with its bright shape. What draws you to a fire is the warmth you feel when you come near. The same was true of Denna.”
Kvothe in 'The Name of the Wind' written by Patrick Rothfuss
