C.S. Lewis
“I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief.”
C.S. Lewis

Osamu Dazai
“It was less the fact of Yoshiko's defilement than the defilement of her trust in people which became so persistent a source of grief as almost to render my life insupportable. [...] Yoshiko's immaculate trustfulness seemed clean an pure, like a waterfall among green leaves. One night sufficed to turn the waters of this pure cascade yellow and muddy. Yoshiko began from that night to fret over my every smile or frown.”
Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

Kelly Yang
“Is this what the rest of my life is going to be like? Moments of happiness punctured by the memory of what happened, like a bomb which can detonate at any time.”
Kelly Yang, Parachutes

Lord Byron
“They are right; for man, to man so oft unjust,
Is always so to women; one sole bond
Awaits them, treachery is all their trust;
Taught to conceal, their bursting hearts despond
Over their idol, till some wealthier lust
Buys them in marriage—and what rests beyond?
A thankless husband, next a faithless lover,
Then dressing, nursing, praying, and all ’s over.

Some take a lover, some take drams or prayers,
Some mind their household, others dissipation,
Some run away, and but exchange their cares,
Losing the advantage of a virtuous station;
Few changes e’er can better their affairs,
Theirs being an unnatural situation,
From the dull palace to the dirty hovel:
Some play the devil, and then write a novel.”
Lord Byron, Don Juan

Ovid
“I am prepared for any crime, my sister, / To burn the palace, and into the flaming ruin / Hurl Tereus, the author of all evils. / I would cut out his tongue, his eyes, cut off / The parts which brought you shame...”
Ovid, Ovid’s Metamorphoses: Books 6-10
