Eve

“I noticed, for instance, that dreams under the midnight sun tended to be highly coloured, and this my friend the photographer confirmed.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

“Cinnamon-colored walls, rain on the windowpanes, vast quiet and a sense of depth and distance, like the varnish over the background of a nineteenth-century paintings. Rugs worn to threads, painted Japanese fans and antique valentines flickering in candlelight, Pierrots and doves and flowergarlanded hearts.”
― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

“After all those years of roaming, they'd found home.”
― Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle

“It was a stillness I knew; this was how a house closed in on itself when someone had died.”
― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch
