“No, my dear, I'm not in love with you, no more than you are with me, and if I were, you would be the last person I'd ever tell. God help the man who ever really loves you. You'd break his heart, my darling, cruel, destructive little cat who is so careless and confident she doesn't even trouble to sheathe her claws.”
― Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind

“А где же любовь-то? Любовь бескорыстная, самоотверженная, не ждущая награды? Та, про которую сказано — «сильна, как смерть»? Понимаешь, такая любовь, для которой совершить любой подвиг, отдать жизнь, пойти на мучение — вовсе не труд, а одна радость. […] Но ты пойми, о какой любви я говорю. Любовь должна быть трагедией. Величайшей тайной в мире! Никакие жизненные удобства, расчеты и компромиссы не должны ее касаться.”
― Aleksandr Kuprin, Гранатовый браслет: сборник произведений

“The tongue can conceal the truth, but the eyes never! You're asked an unexpected question, you don't even flinch, it takes just a second to get yourself under control, you know just what you have to say to hide the truth, and you speak very convincingly, and nothing in your face twitches to give you away. But the truth, alas, has been disturbed by the question, and it rises up from the depths of your soul to flicker in your eyes and all is lost.”
― Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

“The tongue may hide the truth but the eyes—never!”
― Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita
