Jean-Paul Sartre
“For a hundred dead stories there still remain one or two living ones. I evoke these with caution, occasionally, not too often, for fear of wearing them out, I fish one out, again I see the scenery, the characters, the attitudes. I stop suddenly: there is a flaw, I have seen a word pierce through the web of sensations. I suppose that this word will soon take the place of several images I love. I must stop quickly and think of something else; I don’t want to tire my memories. In vain; the next time I evoke them a good part will be congealed.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

Emily Brontë
“And I pray one prayer--I repeat it till my tongue stiffens--Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you--haunt me, then!...Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!”
Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

Gabriel García Márquez
“Then he made one last effort to search in his heart for the place where his affection had rotted away, and he could not find it.”
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

Gabriel García Márquez
“She had that rare virtue of never existing completely except for that opportune moment”
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

James Baldwin
“Somebody" said Jacques, "your father or mine, should have told us that not many people have ever died of love. But multitudes have perished, and are perishing every hour--and in the oddest places!--for the lack of it.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room
