“Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don't think two people could have been happier 'til this terrible disease came. I can't fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can't even write this properly. I can't read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that – everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer. I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been. V.”
― Virginia Woolf

“Zašto tražim samoću, a kada se utapam u njezinoj bjelini bez uporišta, prestrašim se? Zašto želim da mi tko baci pojas za spašavanje, a onda ne poduzimam ništa da se uhvatim za nj? Možda ću razumjeti svoje sposobnosti i snove, ali nikada neću znati doista nešto učiniti. Bit ću utopljenik koji ne dopušta da mu pomognu.”
― Alessandro D'Avenia, Bianca come il latte, rossa come il sangue

“This was how the world ended. Not with a bang, but with a whimper.”
― Andrea Speed, Bloodlines
