“You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

“The autumn leaves blew over the moonlit pavement in such a way as to make the girl who was moving there seem fixed to a sliding walk, letting the motion of the wind and the leaves carry her forward. [...] The trees overhead made a great sound of letting down their dry rain.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“Той ли говореше така?... В първия миг Ирина взе думите му като ярост на пиян човек,но после съзна изведнъж,че най-сетне беше настъпил моментът,за който жадуваше от толкова години.Най-сетне той бе показал нещо човешко- любовта си,макар и обезобразена от егоизма му,макар и взела форма на животинска,разрушителна ревност.Най-сетне тя,Ирина,струваше повече от "Никотиана",от сделките,от фон Гайер и Немския папиросен концерн!...Тя почувства слабо вълнение,гордост,злорадство,но не и щастие.Победата вече не струваше нищо...Дванадесет години подлости и напрегнат живот бяха превърнали Борис в пълна развалина,а нейното сърце беше опустошено от алчност,наслади и неискреност.Тютюнът бе тровил еднакво и двамата!...”
― Димитър Димов, Тютюн

“Estella was the inspiration of it, and the heart of it, of course. But, though she had taken such strong possession of me, though my fancy and my hope were so set upon her, though her influence on my boyish life and character had been all-powerful, I did not, even that romantic morning, invest her with any attributes save those she possessed. I mention this in this place, of a fixed purpose, because it is the clue by which I am to be followed into my poor labyrinth. According to my experience, the conventional notion of a lover cannot be always true. The unqualified truth is, that when I loved Estella with the love of a man, I loved her simply because I found her irresistible. Once for all; I knew to my sorrow, often and often, if not always, that I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. Once for all; I loved her none the less because I knew it, and it had no more influence in restraining me, than if I had devoutly believed her to be human perfection.”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
