Marcel Proust
“[My grandmother] was so humble of heart and so gentle that her tenderness for others and her disregard for herself and her own troubles blended in a smile which, unlike those seen on the majority of human faces, bore no trace of irony save for herself, while for all of us kisses seemed to spring from her eyes, which could not look upon those she loved without seeming to bestow upon them passionate caresses.”
Marcel Proust

Machado de Assis
“To him the stars seemed like so many musical notes affixed to the sky, just waiting for somebody to unfasten them.”
Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis

Marcel Proust
“When, on a summer evening, the melodious sky growls like a tawny lion, and everyone is complaining of the storm, it is the memory of the Méséglise way that makes me stand alone in ecstasy, inhaling, through the noise of the falling rain, the lingering scent of invisible lilacs.”
Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

Rudy Francisco
“Youth promises us immortality, but doesn't have the means to uphold its end of the bargain.”
Rudy Francisco, Helium

Selma Lagerlöf
“Nothing on earth can make up for the loss of one who has loved you.”
Selma Lagerlöf
