“Love is a fog that burns with the first daylight of reality.”
Charles Bukowski

Georges Simenon

Georges Simenon

Tove Jansson
“It's funny about love', Sophia said. 'The more you love someone, the less he likes you back.'
'That's very true,' Grandmother observed. 'And so what do you do?'
'You go on loving,' said Sophia threateningly. 'You love harder and harder.”
Tove Jansson, The Summer Book

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

Georges Simenon
“The place smelled of fairgrounds, of lazy crowds, of nights when you stayed out because you couldn't go to bed, and it smelled like New York, of its calm and brutal indifference.”
Georges Simenon, Three Bedrooms in Manhattan
