“We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it, if it were not the earth where the same flowers come up again every spring that we used to gather with our tiny fingers as we sat lisping to ourselves on the grass, the same hips and haws on the autumn hedgerows, the same redbreasts that we used to call ‘God’s birds’ because they did no harm to the precious crops. What novelty is worth that sweet monotony where everything is known and loved because it is known?”
― George Eliot, The Mill on the Floss

“Y así seguimos avanzando hacia la muerte a través del frescor del crepúsculo.”
― Francis Scott Fitzgerald, El gran Gatsby

“«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

“To learn what we fear is to learn who we are. Horror defies our boundaries and illuminates our souls.”
― Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House
