Fernando Pessoa
“The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
Fernando Pessoa

Virginia Woolf
“...I'm terrified of passive acquiescence. I live in intensity.”
Virginia Woolf, A Writer's Diary

Patrick O'Brian
“And yet in a way one might say that the whole of life is a tissue of prodigious coincidences”
Patrick O'Brian, The Surgeon's Mate

Edith Wharton
“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that receives it.”
Edith Wharton

Marcel Proust
“There are few who are worthy to understand what I feel. [...] I seek out those who are of this chosen few, and I avoid the rest.”
Marcel Proust, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower
