“Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land

“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“عشقه که آدما ابله میکنه یا فقط ادمای احمق عاشق میشن؟”
― Orhan Pamuk, My Name Is Red

“«آدم‌ها فکر می‌کنند ازدست‌دادن یک عزیز مثل ترک کردن سیگار است. روز اوّل خیلی سخت است. روز بعد سختی کم‌تر می‌شود و به تدریج از بین می‌رود و هرچه که می‌گذرد تحمّلش آسان‌تر و آسان‌تر می‌شود. امّا من می‌گویم مثل آب‌نخوردن است. هرروز بیشتر متوجّه ازدست‌رفتن عزیزت می‌شوی»”
― Anne Tyler, Back When We Were Grownups
