Euripides
“Stronger than lover's love is lover's hate. Incurable, in each, the wounds they make.”
Euripides, Medea

Gustave Flaubert
“Deep down, all the while, she was waiting for something to happen. Like a sailor in distress, she kept casting desperate glances over the solitary waster of her life, seeking some white sail in the distant mists of the horizon. She had no idea by what wind it would reach her, toward what shore it would bear her, or what kind of craft it would be – tiny boat or towering vessel, laden with heartbreaks or filled to the gunwhales with rapture. But every morning when she awoke she hoped that today would be the day; she listened for every sound, gave sudden starts, was surprised when nothing happened; and then, sadder with each succeeding sunset, she longed for tomorrow.”
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

Euripides
“The fiercest anger of all, the most incurable,
Is that which rages in the place of dearest love.”
Euripides, Medea and Other Plays

Koushun Takami
“Nice jewelry and a boys corpse. Oh you're so pretty.”
Koushun Takami, Battle Royale

Gustave Flaubert
“You forget everything. The hours slip by. You travel in your chair through centuries you seem to see before you, your thoughts are caught up in the story, dallying with the details or following the course of the plot, you enter into characters, so that it seems as if it were your own heart beating beneath their costumes.”
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary
