Italo Calvino
“Everything in the garden was like that: lovely but impossible to enjoy properly, with that worrying feeling inside that they were only there through an odd stroke of luck, and the fear that they'd soon have to give an account of themselves.”
Italo Calvino, Difficult Loves

William Shakespeare
“Filths savour but themselves.”
William Shakespeare, King Lear

E.M. Forster
“We come up against beauty here — for the first time in our enquiry: beauty at which a novelist should never aim though he fails if he does not achieve it. I will conduct beauty to her proper place later on. Meanwhile please accept her as part of a completed plot. She looks a little surprised at being there, but beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face, as Botticelli knew when he painted her risen from the waves, between the winds and the flowers. The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due—she reminds us too much of a prima donna.”
E.M. Forster, Aspects of the Novel

Edwidge Danticat
“The lightness returned. That airless sensation of his body evaporating. Darline and Paris were fading, too. They were becoming distant longings, silhouettes, shadows fading on the ground.

There are loves that outlive lovers.”
Edwidge Danticat, Everything Inside

Federico García Lorca
“... con tantos encajes pareces una ola y me das el mismo miedo que de niño tuve al mar.”
Federico García Lorca, Amor de Don Perlimplín con Belisa en su jardín
