“Even now it comes as a shock if by chance I notice in the street a face resembling someone I know however slightly, and I am at once seized by a shivering violent enough to make me dizzy.”
― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

“Fui asaltado por los recuerdos de una vida que ya no me pertenecía más, pero en la que había encontrado las más pobres y las más firmes de mis alegrías: los olores del verano, el barrio que amaba, un cierto cielo de la tarde, la risa y los vestidos de María.”
― Matthew Ward, The Stranger

“Voy a guardar intacto el recuerdo de este instante porque todo lo que existe ahora mismo nunca volverá a ser igual.”
― José Emilio Pacheco, Las batallas en el desierto

“I remember that one day, when we were in a car tooling along at top speed,we crashed into a cyclist, an apparently very young and very pretty girl. Her head was almost totally ripped off by the wheels. For a long time, we were parked a few yards beyond without getting out, fully absorbed in the sight of the corpse. The horror and despair at so much bloody flesh, nauseating in part, and in part very beautiful, was fairly equivalent to our usual impression upon seeing one another.”
― Georges Bataille, Story of the Eye
