“Was this stab in my heart, this rapture, really mine or had I merely read about it? For every feeling, every vicissitude of my passion, there would spring into my mind a quotation from the poets. Shakespeare or Donne or Heine had the exact phrase for it. Comforting, perhaps, but enraging too. Nothing ever seemed spontaneously my own.”
Dorothy Strachey, Olivia

“Losing her was the worst of it, but loving her hurt almost as much sometimes.”
Catherine M. Wilson, A Journey of the Heart

Victor Hugo
“Facing these men, who were ferocious, we admit, and terrifying, but ferocious and terrifying for good ends, there are other men, smiling, embroidered, gilded, beribboned, starred, in silk stockings, in white plumes, in yellow gloves, in varnished shoes, who, with their elbows on a velvet table, beside a marble chimney-piece, insist gently on demeanor and the preservation of the past, of the Middle Ages, of divine right, of fanaticism, of innocence, of slavery, of the death penalty, of war, glorifying in low tones and with politeness, the sword, the stake, and the scaffold. For our part, if we were forced to make a choice between the barbarians of civilization and the civilized men of barbarism, we should choose the barbarians.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Keri Hulme
“I am not a person to say the words out loud / I think them strongly, or let them hunger from the page.”
Keri Hulme

“If my love for Maara depended on her love for me, it was not love, but a bargain.”
Catherine M. Wilson, A Hero's Tale
