Paulo Coelho
“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.”
Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Virginia Woolf
“Submit to me."

So she said nothing, but looked doggedly and sadly at the shore, wrapped in its mantle of peace; as if the people there had fallen alseep, she thought; were free like smoke, were free to come and go like ghosts. They have no suffering there, she thought.”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

Khaled Hosseini
“She would never leave her mark on Mammy's heart the way her brothers had, because Mammy's heart was like a pallid beach where Laila's footprints would forever wash away beneath the waves of sorrow that swelled and crashed, swelled and crashed. ”
Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns

The earth has its music for those who will listen
“The earth has its music for those who will listen”
Reginald Vincent Holmes, Fireside Fancies

Donna Tartt
“Beauty is rarely soft or consolatory. Quite the contrary. Genuine beauty is always quite alarming.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History
