Erich Maria Remarque
“These memories of former times do not awaken desire so much as sorrow-- a vast, inapprehensible melancholy. Once we had such desires-- but they return not. They are past, they belong to another world that is gone from us. They are completely lost to us. They arise no more; we are dead and they stand remote on the horizon, they are a mysterious reflection, an apparition that haunts us, that we fear and love without hope. They are unattainable and we know it.

And even if these scenes of our youth were given back to us, we would hardly know what to do. The tender, secret influence that passed from them into us could not rise again. We might remember and love them and be stirred by the sight of them. But it would be like gazing at the photograph of a dead comrade; those are his features, it is his face, and the days we spent together take on a mournful life in memory; but the man himself it is not.”
Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front

Janet Fitch
“Prostitute. Whore. What did they really mean anyway? Only words. Words trailing their streamers of judgment. I hated labels anyway. People didn't fit in slots-- prostitute, housewife, saint-- like sorting the mail. We were so mutable, fluid with fear and desire, ideals and angles, changeable as water.”
Janet Fitch, White Oleander

“It was napoleon who once observed how easy it is to win men over through flattery simply by bequeathing a title to them or pinning a metal or token on their chest.”
Texe Marrs, Codex Magica: Secret Signs, Mysterious Symbols, and Hidden Codes of the Illuminati

Janet Fitch
“Marvel hates her because she's pretty and doesn't have any kids to worry about.”
Janet Fitch, White Oleander

Janet Fitch
“The way Starr felt in church, that's how I felt at the art museum, both safe and elevated.”
Janet Fitch, White Oleander
