Julian Barnes
“Everyone has their love story. Everyone. It may have been a fiasco, it may have fizzled out, it may never even have got going, it may have been all in the mind, that doesn't make it any less real. Sometimes, it makes it more real. Sometimes, you see a couple, and they seem bored witless with one another, and you can't imagine them having anything in common, or why they're still living together. But it's not just habit or complacency or convention or anything like that. It's because once, they had their love story. Everyone does. It's the only story.”
Julian Barnes, The Only Story

“[...]Because at some point everyone wants to run away from their life. It's about the only thing human beings have in common”
Julian Barnes, The Only Story

Julian Barnes
“You're still in it. You'll always be in it. No, not literally. But in your heart. Nothing ever ends, not if it's gone that deep. You'll always be walking wounded. That's the only choice, after a while. Walking wounded, or dead. Don't you agree?”
Julian Barnes, The Only Story

André Aciman
“I live for this. And if this is all there is, well, this is all there is.”
André Aciman, Enigma Variations

André Aciman
“You're alone, as I'm alone, and the cruelest thing is that finding each other and saying let us be alone together won't solve a thing.”
André Aciman, Enigma Variations
