William T. Vollmann
“So he lent her books. After all, one of life's best pleasures is reading a book of perfect beauty; more pleasurable still is rereading that book; most pleasurable of all is lending it to the person one loves: Now she is reading or has just read the scene with the mirrors; she who is so lovely is drinking in that loveliness I've drunk.”
William Vollmann

“I had a curious feeling that I was living on several planes simultaneously; the overlapping of these planes was confusing.”
Anna Kavan, Ice

Thomas Bernhard
“I really only write about inner landscapes and most people don’t see them, because they see practically nothing within, because they think that because it’s inside, it’s dark, and so they don’t see anything. I don’t think I’ve ever yet, in any of my books, described a landscape. There's really nothing of the kind in any of them. I only ever write concepts. And so I’m always referring to "mountains" or "a city" or "streets." But as to how they look: I've never produced a description of a landscape. That's never even interested me.”
Thomas Bernhard

Marcel Schwob

With your left foot you shall wipe out the footprint of your right foot.”
Marcel Schwob, El libro de Monelle
