“My dearest life, I know you are not mine forever; but do love me even if it’s for this moment. After that I shall vanish into the forest where you cast me, I won’t ask anyone for anything again. Give me something that can last me till I die.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, Chokher Bali

“Without memories, without hope, they lived for the moment only. Indeed, the here and now had come to mean everything to them. For there is no denying that the plague had gradually killed off in all of us the faculty not of love only but even of friendship. Naturally enough, since love asks something of the future, and nothing was left us but a series of present moments.”
― Albert Camus, The Plague

“There are some things about myself I can’t explain to anyone. There are some things I don’t understand at all. I can’t tell what I think about things or what I’m after. I don’t know what my strengths are or what I’m supposed to do about them. But if I start thinking about these things in too much detail the whole thing gets scary. And if I get scared I can only think about myself. I become really self-centered, and without meaning to, I hurt people. So I’m not such a wonderful human being.”
― Haruki Murakami, The Elephant Vanishes

“ချမ်းသာသုခ ဆိုသည့်နောက်ကို တကောက်ကောက်ပင် တစ်သက်လုံးလိုက်သော်လည်း ဖမ်းမမိခင် မြေ၌လျောင်းစက်ရလေ့ရှိကာ၊ မတော်တဆ ရရှိလျှင်တော့ တွေဝေမှိုင်းမြ၍ ခဏမျှ သတိလစ်လိုက်သော် အပ်ပျောက်မြေကျ ရှာမရဖြစ်ရတတ်သည်။”
