Nicole Krauss
“Maybe the first time you saw her you were ten. She was standing in the sun scratching her legs. Or tracing letters in the dirt with a stick. Her hair was being pulled. Or she was pulling someone's hair. And a part of you was drawn to her, and a part of you resisted--wanting to ride off on your bicycle, kick a stone, remain uncomplicated. In the same breath you felt the strength of a man, and a self-pity that made you feel small and hurt. Part of you thought: Please don't look at me. If you don't, I can still turn away. And part of you thought: Look at me.”
Nicole Krauss, The History of Love

Celia del Palacio
“Miradas que se encuentran. Ojos castaños que de pronto se convierten en planicies cósmicas que uno recorre a velocidades superiores a las de la luz, con rumbo desconocido. Es el momento cuando todo encaja, todo cae en su lugar y uno piensa que jamás pudo haber sido de otro modo. Ese instante, en fin, en que el escalofrío, la sorpresa, la interrogación se convierten en certeza, certeza absoluta.
Esta mujer venía a trastornarle el mundo.”
Celia del Palacio, No me alcanzará la vida

Leo Tolstoy
“—Ignoraba que usted pensara ir a Petersburgo. ¿Por qué va? —preguntó Ana, dejando caer su mano, mientras una alegría imposible de contener iluminó su rostro.
—¿Por qué voy? —repitió él mirándola fijamente—. Usted bien sabe que voy sólo para estar junto a usted; no puedo evitarlo.”
León Tostói, Ana Karenina

Isabel Allende
“You can't find someone who doesn't want to be found.”
Isabel Allende, The House of the Spirits

Mario Benedetti
“Si tu bendita soledad
se funde con la mía
ya no sabré si soy en vos
o vos terminás siéndome.”
Mario Benedetti, El amor, las mujeres y la vida
