Rainer Maria Rilke
“A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them - they're who they've been throughout your whole relationship.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Lisa Kogan
“When I was extremely young and shockingly stupid, I thought you weren't supposed to ever get angry at anybody you cared about (lest you suspect I'm exaggerating the "shockingly stupid" part, I also thought Mount Rushmore was a natural phenomenon). I honestly believed that people who were truly in love would never dream of having a good, old-fashioned, knock-down, drag-out fight. I guess when you're the type of girl who walks around thinking that the wind just sort of sculpted Teddy Roosevelt into the side of a mountain, the concept of a fairy-tale relationship makes total sense.”
Lisa Kogan, Someone Will Be with You Shortly: Notes from a Perfectly Imperfect Life

Markus Zusak
“Mistakes, mistakes, it's all I seem capable of at times.”
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

Norman Rush
“Literature is humanity talking to itself.”
Norman Rush

Rainer Maria Rilke
“The only sadnesses that are dangerous and unhealthy are the ones that we carry around in public in order to drown them out with the noise; like diseases that are treated superficially and foolishly, they just withdraw and after a short interval break out again all the more terribly; and gather inside us and are life, are life that is unlived, rejected, lost, life that we can die of.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
