Pablo Neruda
“لأنّي في ليالٍ مثل هذه أخذتها بين ذراعيّ،
روحي ليست راضيةً بأنّي أضعتُها.”
بابلو نيرودا, عشرون قصيدة حب وأغنية يائسة

Thomas Mann
“What pleases the public is lively and vivid delineation which makes no demands on the intellect; but passionate and absolutist youth can only be enthralled by a problem.”
Thomas Mann

T.S. Eliot
“Of lovers whose bodies smell of each other
Who think the same thoughts without need of speech”
T.S. Eliot

Émile Zola
“As if one killed by calculation! A person kills only from an impulse that springs from his blood and sinews, from the vestiges of ancient struggles, from the need to live and the joy of being strong.”
Émile Zola, La Bête humaine

Anne  Michaud
“Perhaps this sort of marriage, at the top echelons of Washington and international society, was made from different rules. Fidelity, honesty – perhaps these were quaint ideas better suited to less ambitious people. When one had the heights of the free world practically in one’s grasp, maybe the bargain at the altar became more pragmatic.”
Anne Michaud, Why They Stay: Sex Scandals, Deals, and Hidden Agendas of Nine Political Wives
