“One thing about being alive is that you can swim. Other things too - you can look at the clouds in the daytime and the stars at night and think of space as something you can't terribly care about conquering. Let it go on being spacious while it can. There's lots of time if you think in terms of light-years.”
― Dorothy Baker, Cassandra at the Wedding

“True romance is respectful and empathic.”
― Ramani Durvasula, It's Not You: Identifying and Healing from Narcissistic People

“All Wintrops are mad, wicked, vain, they lack discipline, they live in confusion, they are constantly getting divorced. They treat their wives like cattle and yet these women remain in love with them, they are on the wrong side in the war or they make money out of it, they are crafty in business, but they gamble their money away or throw it in the air, and they’ll sell one another for a few pence. Did you ever know your father?”
― Cees Nooteboom, RITUALS.

“we thank some people for merely living at the same time as we do. I thank you for the fact that I met you, that I will remember you for all my life!”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, White Nights
