“«Soy un soñador. Hay en mí tan poca vida real, los momentos como este, como el de ahora, son para mí tan raros que me es imposible no repetirlos en mis sueños. Voy a soñar con usted toda la noche, toda la semana, todo el año.»”
― Fiódor Dostoiévski, Nietoschka Nezvanova / Noches blancas

“I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person.”
― Walt Whitman, Song of Myself

“there is about sorrow an intense, an extraordinary reality. I have said of myself that I was one who stood in symbolic relations to the art and culture of my age. There is not a single wretched man in this wretched place along with me who does not stand in symbolic relation to the very secret of life. For the secret of life is suffering. It is what is hidden behind everything.”
― Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

“Has any one supposed it lucky to be born? I hasten to inform him or her it is just as lucky to die, and I know it.”
― Walt Whitman
