“Some believe what separates men from animals is our ability to reason. Others say it’s language or romantic love, or opposable thumbs.

― Arthur Conan Doyle, The Lost World

“In the sudden change that had come over her heart she no longer recognized herself”
― Émile Zola, Thérèse Raquin

“We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
