Gabriel García Márquez
“Together they had overcome the daily incomprehension, the instantaneous hatred, the reciprocal nastiness, and fabulous flashes of glory in the conjugal conspiracy. It was time when they both loved each other best, without hurry or excess, when both were most conscious of and grateful for their incredible victories over adversity. Life would still present them with other moral trials, of course, but that no longer mattered: they were on the other shore.”
Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

Umberto Eco
“When you are on the dancefloor, there is nothing to do but dance.”
Umberto Eco, The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana

Gabriel García Márquez
“Be calm. God awaits you at the door.”
Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

Katherine Dunn
“I have been a believer in the magic of language since, at a very early age, I discovered that some words got me into trouble and others got me out. ”
Katherine Dunn

Thornton Wilder
“Now he discovered that secret from which one never quite recovers, that even in the most perfect love one person loves less profoundly than the other. There may be two equally good, equally gifted, equally beautiful, but there may never be two that love one another equally well.”
Thornton Wilder, The Bridge of San Luis Rey
