Honoré de Balzac
“So you miss that melancholy personage, do you? I have heard most extraordinary things of him. Wound his feelings, he never comes back, he forgives nothing; and, if you love him, he keeps you in chains. To everything I said of him, one of those that praise him sky-high would always answer, 'He knows how to love!”
Honoré de Balzac Balzac

James Fenimore Cooper
“Do my brothers know the name of this favored people?”
“It was the Lenni Lenape,” returned Magua, affecting to bend his head in reverence to their former greatness.
“It was the tribes of the Lenape! The sun rose from water that was salt, and set in water that was sweet, and never hid himself from their eyes. But why should I, a Huron of the woods, tell a wise people their own traditions? Why remind them of their injuries; their ancient greatness; their deeds; their glory; their happiness; their losses; their defeats; their misery? Is there not one among them who has seen it all, and who knows it to be true? I have done. My tongue is still for my heart is of lead.
I listen.”
James Fenimore Cooper, The Last of the Mohicans

Akwaeke Emezi
“How do you survive when they place a god inside your body? We said it was like shoving a sun into a bag of skin, so it should be no surprise that her skin would split or her mind would break. We did the best we could.”
Akwaeke Emezi, Freshwater

Elizabeth Gaskell
“Come, begin with your objections. You're not a woman if you have not a whole bag-full of them ready to turn down any reasonable proposal.”
Elizabeth Gaskell, Ruth
