Anton Chekhov
“She had a passionate longing for the garden, the darkness, the pure sky, the stars.”
Anton Chekhov

Alexandre Dumas
“Life is a chaplet of little miseries which the philosopher counts with a smile. Be philosophers, as I am, gentlemen; sit down at the table and let us drink. Nothing makes the future look so bright as surveying it through a glass of chambertin.”
Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers

Albert Camus
“When I look at my life and its secret colors, I feel like bursting into tears. Like that sky. It's rain and sun both, noon and midnight. ... I think of the lips I've kissed, and of the wretched child I was, and of the madness of life and the ambition that sometimes carries me away. I'm all those things at once. I'm sure there are times when you wouldn't even recognize me. Extreme in misery, excessive in happiness—I can't say it.”
Albert Camus, A Happy Death

Isak Dinesen
“The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.”
Isak Dinesen, Seven Gothic Tales

Tom Wolfe
“You never realize how much of your background is sewn into the lining of your clothes.”
Tom Wolfe
