“This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.”
― T.S. Eliot

“A single metaphor can give birth to love.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“I was supposed to be having the time of my life.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“Should I, after tea and cakes and ices,
Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis?
But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,
Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,
I am no prophet--and here's no great matter;
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
And in short, I was afraid. ”
― T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and Other Poems
