Elaine Kraf
“If I were quiet, I might be able to concentrate on getting the fragments of my life together. But there are noises inside my head from all those departures. Although the bumps and sores are fading, my skin burns and stings. Most of the time I rest on my unmade bed. Why must the phone ring? I am startled, nearly jump to the ceiling whenever it does. I don't want to speak to anyone for a long time. Yet I feel so alone.”
Elaine Kraf, The Princess of 72nd Street

Meg Mason
“Normal people say, I can’t imagine feeling so bad I’d genuinely want to die. I do not try and explain that it isn’t that you want to die. It is that you know you are not supposed to be alive, feeling a tiredness that powders your bones, a tiredness with so much fear. The unnatural fact of living is something you must eventually fix.”
Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss

Hermann Hesse
“One never reaches home,' she said. 'But where paths that have an affinity for each other intersect, the whole world looks like home, for a time.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend

Elaine Kraf
“There is always a punishment for radiance. I had forgotten. People hate it when you are happy for no reason, or when your personality changes. I used to become a water lily. They like everyone to act the same way forever.”
Elaine Kraf, The Princess of 72nd Street

Françoise Sagan
“A Strange melancholy pervades me to which I hesitate to give the grave and beautiful name of sorrow. The idea of sorrow has always appealed to me but now I am almost ashamed of its complete egoism. I have known boredom, regret, and occasionally remorse, but never sorrow. Today it envelops me like a silken web, enervating and soft, and sets me apart from everybody else.”
Françoise Sagan, Bonjour tristesse
