“What a slut time is. She screws everybody.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“What is straight? A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart, oh, no, it's curved like a road through mountains.”
― Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire

“But I’ve been turning over in my mind the question of nostalgia, and whether I suffer from it. I certainly don’t get soggy at the memory of some childhood knickknack; nor do I want to deceive myself sentimentally about something that wasn’t even true at the time—love of the old school, and so on. But if nostalgia means the powerful recollection of strong emotions—and a regret that such feelings are no longer present in our lives—then I plead guilty.”
― Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

“Nouă ne e penibil pînă şi să fim oameni, oameni cu trup şi sînge adevărat, propriu, ne e ruşine de asta, socotim acest lucru degradant şi tindem să fim habar n-am ce oameni — îndeobşte, ceva ce încă nu s-a pomenit. Sîntem născuţi morţi şi, de altminteri, de mult nu ne mai naştem din părinţi vii, lucru care ne place din ce în ce. Am prins gust. In curând vom născoci cumva şi naşterea nemijlocită din idee. ”
― Feodor Dostoievski
