“Noon n'ya lang naramdaman ang dagsa ng ganoong uri ng pagmamahal. Patas ngunit walang sukat. Hindi masakit o mapanira. Walang dinudulot na kalungkutan, binabayarang kakulangan, o nambubuyong lakas; kundi tahimik na daloy lamang ng pagpapahalagang wagas.”
― Bob Ong, Si

“But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me.”
― Madeline Miller, Circe

“Ah, it's my longing for whom I might have been that distracts and torments me!”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“The window glows. The slow sandy light of dawn permeates the room. Everything transient and aching; everything tentative. To be here, in this room, high in this house, out of the cellar, with her: it is like medicine.”
― Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See
