“It is is better to know one book intimately than a hundred superficially.”
― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

“Most people think everybody feels about them much more violently than they actually do; they think other people's opinions of them swing through great arcs of approval or disapproval.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender Is the Night

“I'm not all that smart. It takes me a while to understand things. But if I do have the time, I will come to understand you – better than anyone else in the world ever can.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“Don’t you know that you are my whole life? But I know no peace and cannot give you any. All of myself, my love … yes. I cannot think of you and myself separately. You and I are one for me. And I do not see any possibility of peace ahead either for me or for you. I see the possibility of despair, of unhappiness … or I see the possibility of happiness, such happiness! … Isn’t it possible?”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
