Book cover for The Garden of Evening Mists
Some element in the air between us changed, as though a wind that had been blowing gently had been come to an abrupt stillness.

Gustave Flaubert
“I'm absolutely removed from the world at such times...The hours go by without my knowing it. Sitting there I'm wandering in countries I can see every detail of - I'm playing a role in the story I'm reading. I actually feel I'm the characters - I live and breath with them.”
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

Norton Juster
“Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven't the answer to a question you've been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you're alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.”
Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

Bill Watterson
“I'm killing time while I wait for life to shower me with meaning and happiness.”
Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson
“That's the difference between me and the rest of the world! Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!”
Bill Watterson, Weirdos From Another Planet: Calvin & Hobbes Series: Book Six

Leo Tolstoy
“Nothing is so necessary for a young man as the company of intelligent women.”
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace
