E.M. Forster
“For it is a serious thing to have been watched. We all radiate something curiously intimate when we believe ourselves to be alone.”
E.M.Forster

Rainer Maria Rilke
“I want my own will, and I want
simply to be with my will,
as it goes toward action.
And in the silent, sometimes hardly moving times,
when something is coming near,
I want to be with those who know
secret things or else alone...
I want to unfold.
I don’t want to be folded anywhere,
because where I am folded,
there I am a lie.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God

Sue Monk Kidd
“When a woman starts to disentangle herself from patriarchy, ultimately she is abandoned to her own self.”
Sue Monk Kidd, The Dance of the Dissident Daughter: A Woman's Journey from Christian Tradition to the Sacred Feminine

Pearl S. Buck
“When foreigners come into a nation, the best way is to make them no longer foreign. That is to say, let us marry our young together and let there be children. War is costly, love is cheap.”
Pearl S. Buck, Peony: A Novel of China

Patrick Süskind
“He had soon so thoroughly smelled out the quarter between Saint-Eustache and the Hôtel de Ville that he could find his way around in it by pitch-dark night. And so he expanded his hunting grounds, first westward to the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, then out along the rue Saint-Antoine to the Bastille, and finally across to the other bank of the river into the quarters of the Sorbonne and the Faubourg Saint-Germain where the rich people lived.”
Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
