“...as he was combing his hair in front of the mirror...only then did he understand that a man knows when he is growing older because he begins to look like his father.”

“Little by little, and also in great leaps,
life happened to me,
and how insignificant this business is.
These veins carried
my blood, which I scarcely ever saw,
I breathed the air of so many places
without keeping a sample of any.
In the end, everyone is aware of this:
nobody keeps any of what he has,
and life is only a borrowing of bones.”
― Pablo Neruda, The Essential Neruda: Selected Poems

“Music is important for one’s health.”
― Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

“Now, I’m very vulnerable to female beauty, as you know. Everybody’s defenseless against something, and that’s it for me. I see it and it blinds me to everything else.”
― Philip Roth, The Dying Animal
