Shel Silverstein
“Underneath my outside face
There's a face that none can see.
A little less smiley,
A little less sure,
But a whole lot more like me.”
Shel Silverstein, Every Thing on It

Koushun Takami
“You wear nice clothes, you seek respect, you make a lot of money, but what's the point? It's all pointless. Of course, this kind of meaninglessness might suit this crappy nation. But, you see, we still have emotions like joy and happiness, right? They may not mount to much. But they fill up our emptiness. That's the only explanation I have.”
Koushun Takami, Battle Royale

Elizabeth Kostova
“Der Glaube ist das, was fuer uns real ist.”
Elizabeth Kostova, The Swan Thieves

Julio Cortázar
“...nos queríamos en una dialéctica de imán y limadura, de ataque y defensa, de pelota y pared.”
Julio Cortázar, Hopscotch

Sara Gruen
“comparison. His eyes were hazel, and his arms ended in white bandages just below the elbows.”
Sara Gruen, At the Water's Edge
