Ernest Hemingway
“When I saw my wife again standing by the tracks as the train came in by the piled logs at the station, I wished I had died before I had ever loved anyone but her.”
Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Lauren Groff
“There is no ending, no neatness... where water is concerned. It is wild, febrile, kind, ambiguous; it is dark and carries the mud, and it is clear and the cleanest thing. Too much of it kills us, and not enough kills us, and it is what makes us, mostly. Water is the cleverest substance, wily beyond the stretch of our mortal imaginations. And no matter where it is pent, no matter if it is air or liquid or solid, it will someday, inevitably, find its way out.”
Lauren Groff, Delicate Edible Birds and Other Stories

Edith Wharton
“She said she knew we were safe with you, and always would be, because once, when she asked you to, you'd given up the thing you most wanted."

Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence

Edith Wharton
“The real loneliness is living among all these kind people who only ask one to pretend!”
Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote
