Sampurna

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore —
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door —
Only this and nothing more.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven

“No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself.”
― Haruki Murakami, After the Quake

“Love is a fire/It burns everyone/It disfigures everyone/It is the world's excuse for being ugly.”
― Leonard Cohen

“This was another of our fears: that Life wouldn't turn out to be like Literature.”
― Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending
