Mikhail Bulgakov
“Yes, man is mortal, but that would be only half the trouble. The worst of it is that he's sometimes unexpectedly mortal—there's the trick!”
Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

Gabriel García Márquez
“During the day, lying down to dream, he would secretly enjoy the memories of the night before. But when she came into the house, merry, indifferent, chatty, he did not have to make any effort to hide his tension, because that woman, whose explosive laugh frightened off the doves, had nothing to do with the invisible power that taught him how to breathe from within and control his heartbeats, and that had permitted him to understand why men are afraid of death.”
Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

Isaac Asimov
“Do you suppose the potter is content with mental creation? Do you suppose the idea is enough?”
Isaac Asimov, The Rest of the Robots

Haruki Murakami
“Where are you now?’

Where was I now?

Gripping the receiver, I raised my hand and turned to see what lay beyond the telephone booth. Where was I now? I had no idea. No idea at all. Where was this place? All that flashed into my eyes were the countless shapes of people walking by to nowhere. Again and again, I called out for Midori from the dead center of this place that was no place.”
Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

James Baldwin
“And with every step I took it became more impossible for me to turn back. And my mind was empty—or it was as though my mind had become one enormous, anaesthetized wound. I thought only, One day I'll weep for this. One of these days I'll start to cry.
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room
