David  Mitchell
“The music provokes a sharp longing the music soothes.”
David Mitchell, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet

Bernhard Schlink
“When an airplane's engines fail, it is not the end of the flight.”
Bernhard Schlink

Julio Cortázar
“Para leer en forma interrogativa

Has visto
verdaderamente has visto
la nieve los astros los pasos afelpados de la brisa
Has tocado
de verdad has tocado
el plato el pan la cara de esa mujer que tanto amas
Has vivido
como un golpe en la frente
el instante el jadeo la caída la fuga
Has sabido
con cada poro de la piel sabido
que tus ojos tus manos tu sexo tu blando corazón
había que tirarlos
había que llorarlos
había que inventarlos otra vez.”
Julio Cortazar

Merlin Franco
“We have only one option, to struggle or succumb. The choice is ours.”
Merlin Franco, A Dowryless Wedding

Barbara Sontheimer
“A haunting memory flooded over Ethan when his own little sister had died. He had not thought of her in years! He glanced at the other chairs that sat empty around the table and wondered how different, or better his life would have been if she had lived. He tried to imagine her sitting there, but had trouble conjuring up her face.”
Barbara Sontheimer, Victor's Blessing
