Gertrude Stein
“One of the things that I have liked all these years is to be surrounded by people who know no english. It has left me more intensely alone with my eyes and my english. I do not know if it would have been possible to have english be so all in all to me otherwise. And they none of them could read a word I wrote, most of them did not even know that I did write. No, I like living with so very many people and being all alone with english and myself.”
Gertrude Stein, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas

Thomas Mann
“Du gehst und gehst … du wirst von solchem Gange niemals zu rechter Zeit nach Hause zurückkehren, denn du bist der Zeit und sie ist dir abhanden gekommen.”
Thomas Mann, Der Zauberberg

“I don't know what's the matter with me. Last night I thought I was in love with a man and to-night I think I'm in love with you—"—it seemed to him a beautiful and romantic thing to say.”
Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Winter Dreams

Frida Kahlo
“I have not forgotten you — the nights are long and difficult. You too know that all my eyes see, all touch with myself, from any distance, is you. The caress of fabrics, the color of colors, the wires, the nerves, the pencils, the leaves, the dust, the cells, the war and the sun, everything experienced in the minutes of the non-clocks and the non-calendars and the empty non-glances, is you. You felt it, that’s why you let that ship take me away from Le Havre where you never said good-bye to me. I will write to you with my eyes, always. For you is all.”
Frida Kahlo, The Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait

Ernest Hemingway
“Never, never tell them. Try and remember that. Never tell anyone anything ever. Never tell anyone anything again.”
Ernest Hemingway, The Garden of Eden
