“So what? German or French, friend or enemy, he's first and foremost a man and I'm a woman. He's good to me, kind, attentive. . .that's good enough for me. I'm not looking for anything else. Our lives are complicated enough with all these wars and bombings. Between a man and a woman, none of that's important. I couldn't care less if the man I fancy is English or black - I'd still offer myself to him if I got the opportunity.”
― Irène Némirovsky, Suite Française

“She couldn't remember the last time she hugged someone, really hugged someone.”
― Cecelia Ahern, P.S. I Love You

― Matt Haig, How to Stop Time

“When you love someone as much as that, you don't believe they can die. You think your love protects them.”
― Irène Némirovsky, The Wine of Solitude
