Marcel Proust
“It is not enough in love, as in everyday life, to fear only the future: one must fear the past, which often becomes real to us only after the future, and I am not simply speaking of the past about which we learn only after the event, but of the one we have carried within us for many years, and which we only now learn to read.”
Marcel Proust, The Prisoner: In Search of Lost Time, Volume 5

Vladimir Nabokov
“...The asses who might really think that in the starlight of eternity, my [and her] conjunction, somewhere in North America, in the nineteenth century represented but one trillionth of a trillionth part of a pinpoint planet's significance can bray... because the rapture of her identity, placed under the microscope of reality, shows a complex system of those subtle bridges which the senses traverse—laughing, embraced, throwing flowers in the air—between membrane and brain, and which always was and is a form of memory, even at the moment of its perception.

Vladimir Nabokov, Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

Marcel Proust

Marcel Proust, The Prisoner: In Search of Lost Time, Volume 5

Virginia Woolf
“It had seemed so safe, thinking of her. Ghost, air, nothingness, a thing you could play with easily and safely at any time of day or night, she had been that, and then suddenly she put her hand out and wrung the heart thus. ...Could things thrust their hands up and grip one; was there no safety?”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse
