“The only way I knew how to live the best day ever was on an expedition.”
Hendri Coetzee

Irène Némirovsky
“Los dos hablamos mecánicamente. Nuestros labios se movían, pero mentían. Sólo nuestros ojos se movían y se reconocían. Pero, cuando al fin la tomé entre mis brazos, nuestro labios fueron sinceros.

Jamás olvidaré ese instante. Fue entonces cuando vi la sombra de nuestras cabezas unidad en la pared encalada. Lámparas, mariposas de aceite por todas partes. Por todas partes, sombras que danzaban, vacilaban, se alejaban por aquel largo y desnudo pasillo.

-Hélène-llamó el enfero-. Hélèn.

No nos movimos. Ella parecía sorber, beberse mi corazón. Cuando la dejé marchar, la quería menos.”
Irène Némirovsky, Fire in the Blood

M.R. Noble
“There are two types of men, Karolina. The ones who can admire the greatness of the little flower. Or the ones who try to control it.”
M. R. Noble, Karolina Dalca, Dark Eyes

Abraham   Verghese
“all fixing what is broken. It is the task of a lifetime. We’ll leave much unfinished for”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

Arthur Miller
“PROCTOR, his mind wild, breathless: I say―I say―God is dead!
PARRIS: Hear it, hear it!
PROCTOR, laughs insanely, then: A fire, a fire is burning! I hear the boot of Lucifer, I see his filthy face! And it is my face, and yours, Danforth! For them that quail to bring men out of ignorance, as I have quailed, and as you quail now when you know in all your black hearts that this be fraud―God damns our kind especially, and we will burn, we will burn together! You are pulling Heaven down and raising up a whore!”
Arthur Miller, The Crucible
