“If my devils are to leave me, I am afraid my angels will take flight as well.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.”
― Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot

“La tierra es como los libros: una vez abierta, también sabe hablar.”
― Vicente Luis Mora, Centroeuropa

“A slow nature such as Maurice's appears insensitive, for it needs time even to feel. Its instinct is to assume that nothing either for good or evil has happened, and to resist the invader. Once gripped, it feels acutely, and its sensations in love are particularly profound. Given time, it can know and impart ecstasy; given time, it can sink to the heart of Hell.”
― E.M. Forster, Maurice
