François de La Rochefoucauld
“We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others, that in the end, we become disguised to ourselves.”
François de La Rochefoucauld

Haruki Murakami
“Things that have form will all disappear. But certain feelings stay with us forever.”
Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

Haruki Murakami
“Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Tennessee Williams
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”
Tennessee Williams, The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore

Haruki Murakami
“Every one of us is losing something precious to us... Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That's what part of it means to be alive. But inside our heads- at least that's where I imagine it- there's a litle room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in a while, let fresh air in, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live for ever in your own private library.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
