Yasunari Kawabata
“And the Milky Way, like a great aurora, flowed through his body to stand at the edges of the earth. There was a quiet, chilly loneliness in it, and a sort of voluptuous astonishment.”
Yasunari Kawabata, Snow Country

Marcel Proust
“Because the different chance events which bring us into contact with certain people do not coincide with the time during which we are in love with them, but, extending beyond it, may occur before it begins and repeat themselves after it has ended, the earliest appearances in our lives of a person destined later to captivate us assume retrospectively in our eyes the significance of a warning, a presage. This”
Marcel Proust, Swann's Way

Yasunari Kawabata
“He was conscious of an emptiness that made him see Komako’s life as beautiful but wasted, even though he himself was the object of her love; and yet the woman’s existence, her straining to live, came touching him like naked skin. He pitied her, and he pitied himself.”
Yasunari Kawabata, Snow Country

Joan Didion
“Did mothers always try to press unto their daughters the itineraries of which they themselves had dreamed. Did I?”
Joan Didion

Pablo Neruda
“I have named you queen. There are taller ones than you, taller. There are purer ones than you, purer. There are lovelier than you, lovelier.   But you are the queen.”
Pablo Neruda, Love Poems
