Julian Barnes
“Listen to them again: ‘I love you.’ Subject, verb, object: the unadorned, impregnable sentence. The subject is a short word, implying the self-effacement of the lover. The verb is longer but unambiguous, a demonstrative moment as the tongue flicks anxiously away from the palate to release the vowel. The object, like the subject, has no consonants, and is attained by pushing the lips forward as if for a kiss. ‘I love you.’ How serious, how weighted, how freighted it sounds.”
Julian Barnes, A History of the World in 10½ Chapters

Guy de Maupassant
“Yes, this is the only good thing in life: love! To hold a woman you love in your arms! That is the ultimate in human happiness.”
Guy de Maupassant, Bel-Ami

Connie Willis
“Come here, cat. You wouldn’t want to destroy the space-time continuum, would you? Meow. Meow.”
Connie Willis, To Say Nothing of the Dog

Ashokamitthiran
“My life had indeed become meaningless to me. Even lack of sleep was not a concern for me; only hunger remained a sensation worthy of articulation. Once that hunger was assuaged, I would return to my inert state.”
Ashokamitran, The Ghosts of Meenambakkam

Anjum Hasan
“The monsoons were the real thing; they dissolved things to the bone.”
Anjum Hasan, The Cosmopolitans
