“Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones that I did not.”
― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

“In the spring of her twenty-second year, Sumire fell in love for the first time in her life. An intense love, a veritable tornado sweeping across the plains—flattening everything in its path, tossing things up in the air, ripping them to shreds, crushing them to bits. The tornado’s intensity doesn’t abate for a second as it blasts across the ocean, laying waste to Angkor Wat, incinerating an Indian jungle, tigers and everything, transforming itself into a Persian desert sandstorm, burying an exotic fortress city under a sea of sand. In short, a love of truly monumental proportions. The person she fell in love with happened to be 17 years older than Sumire. And was married. And, I should add, was a woman. This is where it all began, and where it all ended. Almost.”
― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

“Who can really distinguish between the sea and what's reflected in it? Or tell the difference between the falling rain and loneliness?”
― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

“I went to the worst of bars hoping to get killed but all I could do was to get drunk again.”
― Charles Bukowski
