Gabriel García Márquez
“To him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so different from ordinary people, that he could not understand why no one was as disturbed as he by the clicking of her heels on the paving stones, why no one else's heart was wild with the breeze stirred by the sighs of her veils, why everyone did not go mad with the movements of her braid, the flight of her hands, the gold of her laughter. He had not missed a single one of her gestures, not one of the indications of her character, but he did not dare approach her for fear of destroying the spell.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

Baruch Spinoza
“In practical life we are compelled to follow what is most probable ; in speculative thought we are compelled to follow truth.”
― Baruch Spinoza, Spinoza: The Letters

Dimitri Verhulst
“Aan drie wanden hingen reproducties van abstracte schilderijen waaruit niet viel af te leiden of de maker ervan een mens dan wel een ontploft blik ravioli geweest was.”
― Dimitri Verhulst, De laatste liefde van mijn moeder

Peter van Gestel
“Ik had heimwee naar die drie daar in het bed.
Onzin. We zaten nog met ons drieën in dat bed. Het was alleen al weg voor het weg was. En ik kon er niets over zeggen, geen van tweeën zou begrijpen dat ik heimwee had naar iets wat er nog was, ik begreep het zelf niet eens.”
― Peter van Gestel, Winterijs

Joseph Heller
“They're trying to kill me," Yossarian told him calmly.
No one's trying to kill you," Clevinger cried.
Then why are they shooting at me?" Yossarian asked.
They're shooting at everyone," Clevinger answered. "They're trying to kill everyone."
And what difference does that make?”
― Joseph Heller, Catch-22
