Haruki Murakami
“But I didn't understand then. That I could hurt somebody so badly she would never recover. That a person can, just by living, damage another human being beyond repair.”
Haruki Murakami

Gillian Flynn
“A lot of people lacked that gift: knowing when to fuck off.”
Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl

François Mauriac
“What a fool she was ever to have imagined that there might be some place in the world where she could sink to the earth with the knowledge that there were people round her who understood, who perhaps even admired and loved her! She was fated to carry loneliness about with her as a leper carries his scabs. 'No one can do anything for me: no one can do anything against me.”
François Mauriac, Thérèse Desqueyroux

Haruki Murakami
“No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.”
haruki murakami

Thomas Hardy
“Never in her life – she could swear it from the bottom of her soul – had she ever intended to do wrong; yet these hard judgments had come. Whatever her sins, they were not sins of intention, but of inadvertence, and why should she have been punished so persistently?”
Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles
