When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

“Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die.”

“Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
