“In everyone there sleeps
A sense of life lived according to love.
To some it means the difference they could make
By loving others, but across most it sweeps,
As all they might have done had they been loved.
That nothing cures.”
― Philip Larkin

“As usual, it occurred to me that words were the only thing that could possibly save me from this situation. This was a characteristic misunderstanding on my part. When action was needed, I was absorbed in words; for words proceeded with such difficulty from my mouth that I was intent on them and forgot all about action. It seemed to me that actions, which are dazzling, varied things, must always be accompanied by equally dazzling and equally varied words.”
― Yukio Mishima, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

“Mi se prožimamo bez dodira, sporazumevamo bez reči, odmeravamo bez mera, osećamo bez nasilja. U tom međusobnom prostreljivanju, međustrujanju dve protivteže iste gravitacije, dve sile istog izvora i iste utoke, osećamo da nas sudbina spaja već i time što nas tako besprizivno, nemilosrdno razdvaja, i u tom razdvajanju izdvaja, namenjujući obojicu istoj veličanstvenoj sceni.”
― Borislav Pekić, The Time of Miracles

“Something, like nothing, happens anywhere.”
― Philip Larkin
