“Paris at Night

Trois allumettes une à une allumées dans la nuit
La première pour voir ton visage tout entier
La seconde pour voir tes yeux
La dernière pour voir ta bouche
Et l'obscurité tout entière pour me rappeler tout cela
En te serrant dans mes bras”
― Jacques Prévert, Paroles

“Nearly every species that has ever lived has gone extinct, Laurette. No reason to think we humans will be any different!” Dr. Geffard pronounces this almost gleefully and pours wine into his glass, and she imagines his head as a cabinet filled with ten thousand little drawers.”
― Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

“Nếu tin vào những thông báo chiến sự của hai bên thì trên các mặt trận chỉ còn lại những hồn ma đang đánh nhau, chứ lính của hai bên đã chết hết từ lâu rồi.”
― Vũ Thư Hiên, Đêm Giữa Ban Ngày

“I've always figured it that you die each day and each day is a box, you see, all numbered and neat; but never go back and lift the lids, because you've died a couple of thousand times in your life, and that's a lot of corpses, each dead a different way, each with a worse expression. Each of those days is a different you, somebody you don't know or understand or want to understand.”
― Ray Bradbury, The Illustrated Man
