“Two people in love, alone, isolated from the world, that's very beautiful. But what would they nourish their intimate talk with? However contemptible the world may be, they still need it to be able to talk together.'
'They could be silent.'
'Like those two, at the next table?' Jean Marc laughed. 'Oh, no, no love can survive muteness.”
― Milan Kundera, Identity

“You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed.”
― John Irving, The Hotel New Hampshire

“Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”

“We mortals, men and women, devour many a disappointment between breakfast and dinner-time; keep back the tears and look a little pale about the lips, and in answer to inquiries say, "Oh, nothing!"

― George Eliot, Middlemarch
