“True love makes it through any ordeal. I yearn to be in a relationship that can shake off the frosty wind and the couple still stands hand in hand. I yearn for a love that, because of devoted vigilance, can withstand time’s ceaseless erosion and come out alive.”
― Miaojin Qiu, [Last Words from Montmartre (New York Review Books Classics)] [By: Miaojin, Qiu] [June, 2014]

“Power brings a man many luxuries, but a pair of clean hands is seldom among them.”
― Robert Harris, Imperium : L'ascension au pouvoir

Frederick Forsyth
“Along the banks of the Seine the couples strolled as always on summer nights, hand in hand, slowly as if drinking wine in the dusk and love and youth that will never, however hard they try, be quite the same again.”
― Frederick Forsyth, The Day of the Jackal

“The vision soothed him, calmed his fears and his doubts, made him fatalistic towards the inscrutable purpose of the universe. It all seemed to matter so little - the pathetic quest for love, or the return to solitude.”
― John Le Carré

Patti Smith
“The other afternoon, when you fell asleep on my shoulder, I drifted off, too. But before I did, it occurred to me looking around at all of your things and your work and going through years of work in my mind, that of all your work, you are still your most beautiful. The most beautiful work of all.”
― Patti Smith, Just Kids
