“What did the onion juice do? It did what the world and the sorrows of the world could not do: it brought forth a round, human tear. It made them cry. At last they could cry again.

Of dams bursting in the spring floods. What is the name of that river that overflows every spring and the government does nothing to stop it?”
― Günter Grass, The Tin Drum

“God punishes sins, but the world I see only punishes lack of foresight and blunders.”
― Emilia Pardo Bazán

“Who am I? Or possibly, who AM I? Make it who I WAS, because once I was somebody.”
― Dorothy Baker

“You shouldn't ask me whether I like him or not. The way you mean it, I don't suppose I like anybody.”
― Dorothy Baker, Cassandra at the Wedding
