“I would always rather be happy than dignified.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“If one wanted to depict the whole thing graphically, every episode, with its climax, would require a three-dimensional, or, rather, no model: every experience is unrepeatable. What makes lovemaking and reading resemble each other most is that within both of them times and spaces open, different from measurable time and space.”
― Italo Calvino, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler

“I'd like to add some beauty to life," said Anne dreamily. "I don't exactly want to make people KNOW more... though I know that IS the noblest ambition... but I'd love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me... to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn't been born.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne's House of Dreams

“Although I am a person who expected to be rooted in one spot forever, as it has turned out I love having the memories of living in many places.”
― Frances Mayes, Bringing Tuscany Home: Sensuous Style From the Heart of Italy
