Seneca
“I shall never be ashamed of citing a bad author if the line is good.”
seneca, Peace of Mind: De Tranquillitate Animi

Vladimir Nabokov
“I knew I had fallen in love with Lolita forever; but I also knew she would not be forever Lolita.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

Seneca
“We suffer more often in imagination than in reality”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Anne Brontë
“One bright day in the last week of February, I was walking in the park, enjoying the threefold luxury of solitude, a book, and pleasant weather.”
Anne Brontë, Agnes Grey

Virginia Woolf
“That is my face,' said Rhoda, 'in the looking-glass behind Susan's shoulder - that is my face. But I will duck behind her to hide it, for I am not here. I have no face. Other people have faces; Susan and Jinny have faces; they are here. Their world is the real world. The things they lift are heavy. They say Yes, they say No; whereas I shift and change and am seen through in a second. If they meet a housemaid she looks at them without laughing. But she laughs at me. They know what to say if spoken to. They laugh really; they get angry really; while I have to look first and do what other people do when they have done it.”
Virginia Woolf, The Waves
