Ken Follett
“I love you like a thunderstorm, like a lion, like a helpless rage”
Ken Follet, The Pillars of the Earth

Philippe Besson
“This is important: he sees me in a certain way, a way he will never deviate from. In the end, love was only possible because he saw me not as who I was, but as the person I would become.”
Philippe Besson, Lie With Me

Kaveh Akbar
“If the mortal sin of the suicide is greed, to hoard stillness and calm for yourself while dispersing your riotous internal pain among all those who survive you, then the mortal sin of the martyr must be pride, the vanity, the hubris to believe not only that your death could mean more than your living, but that your death could mean more than death itself-which, because it is inevitable, means nothing”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Amal El-Mohtar
“I want to meet you in every place I have loved.”
Amal El-Mohtar, This Is How You Lose the Time War

Amal El-Mohtar
“Red rarely sleeps, but when she does, she lies still, eyes closed in the dark, and lets herself see lapis, taste iris petals and ice, hear a blue jay's shriek. She collects blues and keeps them.”
Amal El-Mohtar, This Is How You Lose the Time War
