“Love. The reason I dislike that word is that it means too much for me, far more than you can understand."

- Anna Karenina {Anna Karenina}”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

“Life has but one true charm: the charm of the game. But what if we’re indifferent to whether we win or lose?”
― Charles Baudelaire

“It was fortunate that love did not need words; or else it would be full of misunderstanding and foolishness.”
― Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund

“At Night on the High Seas

At night, when the sea cradles me
And the pale star gleam
Lies down on its broad waves,
Then I free myself wholly
From all activity and all the love
And stand silent and breathe purely,
Alone, alone cradled by the sea
That lies there, cold and silent, with a thousand lights.

Then I have to think of my friends
And my gaze sinks into their eyes,
And I ask each one, silent and alone:

"Are you still mine?
Is my sorrow a sorrow to you, my death a death?
Do you feel from my love, my grief,
Just a breath, just an echo?"

And the sea peacefully gazes back, silent,
And smiles: NO
And no greetings and no answers come from anywhere.”
― Hermann Hesse
