Banana Yoshimoto
“Good tea is eloquent enough, it turns out, to change a person's mind.”
Banana Yoshimoto, The Lake

Konstantin Paustovsky
“Днём в доме, где я живу, идёт привычная жизнь. Трещат дрова в разноцветных кафельных печах, приглушенно стучит пишущая машинка, молчаливая уборщица Лиля сидит в уютном холле и вяжет кружево. Всё обыкновенно и очень просто.

Но вечером кромешная темнота окружает дом, сосны придвигаются к нему вплотную, и, когда выходишь из ярко освещённого холла наружу, тебя охватывает ощущение полного одиночества, с глазу на глаз, с зимой, морем и ночью.”
Konstantin Paustovsky, The Golden Rose

Edith Wharton
“Believe me, all of you, the best way to help the places we live in is to be glad we live there.”
Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton
“It seems cruel," she said, "that after a while nothing matters... any more than these little things that used to be necessary and important to forgotten people, and now have to be guessed at under a magnifying glass and labelled: 'Use unknown.'"
"Yes, but meanwhile -"
"Ah, meanwhile -”
Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Receding from a grief, it seems necessary to retrace the same steps that brought us there.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender Is the Night
