Emily Brontë
“He’s more myself than I am”
Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

Tony Kushner
“BELIZE: Louis, I’d even pray for you.      He was a terrible person. He died a hard death. So maybe . . . A queen can forgive her vanquished foe. It isn’t easy, it doesn’t count if it’s easy, it’s the hardest thing. Forgiveness. Which is maybe where love and justice finally meet. Peace, at least. Isn’t that what the Kaddish asks for?”
Tony Kushner, Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes: Revised and Complete Edition

Emily Brontë
“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same”
Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

Margaret Atwood
“After everything that's happened, how can the world still be so beautiful? Because it is.”
Margaret Atwood, Oryx and Crake

Julian Barnes
“I loved her; we were happy; I miss her. She didn't love me; we were unhappy; I miss her.”
Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot
