“I also remember being struck by de Sade's will, in which he asked that his ashes be scattered to the four corners of the earth in the hope that humankind would forget both his writings and his name. I'd like to be able to make that demand; commemorative ceremonies are not only false but dangerous, as are all statues of famous men. Long live forgetfulness, I've always said—the only dignity I see is in oblivion.”
― Luis Buñuel, My Last Sigh

“I am dead. I have no desire for you. My body no longer wants the one who doesn’t love.”
― Marguerite Duras, The Lover

“Es agradable ser feliz, pensó. Y saberlo mientras lo eres.”
― Arturo Pérez-Reverte, El tango de la Guardia Vieja

“I loved you
like a man loves a woman he never touches, only
writes to, keeps little photographs of. I would have
loved you more if I had sat in a small room rolling a
cigarette and listened to you piss in the bathroom,
but that didn’t happen. your letters got sadder.
your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all
lovers betray.”
― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell
