Book cover for Everything I Know About Love
I told him about the one time I had been in love; the intimacy that I couldn’t bear, the dependence I feared.

Salvador Espriu
“Estimem la ciutat dels beocis i volem que sigui eterna, a desgrat dels pressentiments de Tirèsias, el qual mou, pesarós, el cap i ens prediu que serà destruïda. Però ell és cec i, encara que expert en el crit i el presagi dels ocells, ignora la claror de les estrelles. Prou comprenem, tan bé com l’endeví, que cal sepultar i perdonar, que cal procurar de complir la llei moral, aquesta flameta, dèbil, vacil.lant, tanmateix inapagable. Mai no pararíem de mostrar el sacrifici de la princesa, la lliçó del seu alt exemple. Però, criminosa com és, estulta, turbulenta i rica de males riqueses, que Tebes no sigui, en càstig, destruïda. Perquè hi ha la font, el cel, el riu de tots i pobres beocis que no en tenen gens la culpa.”
Salvador Espriu, Antígona

Julian Barnes
“This was another of our fears: that Life wouldn't turn out to be like Literature.”
Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

Thomas Mann
“Passionate—that means to live for the sake of living. But one knows that you all live for sake of experience. Passion, that is self-forgetfulness. But what you all want is self-enrichment.”
Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain

Thomas Mann
“I know I am talking nonsense, but I’d rather go rambling on, and partly expressing something I find it difficult to express, than to keep on transmitting faultless platitudes.”
Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain

Amor Towles
“As a quick aside, let me observe that in moments of high emotion....if the next thing you're going to say makes you feel better, then it's probably the wrong thing to say. This is one of the finer maxims that I've discovered in life. And you can have it, since it's been of no use to me.”
Amor Towles, Rules of Civility
