John  Williams
“In his forty-third year William Stoner learned what others, much younger, had learned before him: that the person one loves at first is not the person one loves at last, and that love is not an end but a process through which one person attempts to know another.”
John Williams, Stoner

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Henry Rollins
“I've said it before and I say it again: "A man's got to do what a brainless idiot's got to do.”
Henry Rollins, Get in the Van: On the Road With Black Flag

George Orwell
“In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning.”
George Orwell

Heimito von Doderer
“„Wenn nun aber die Natur einmal korrupt ist, was soll man tun?“
„Erstens es wissen, als ein Verhängnis und ohne etwas Positives daraus machen zu wollen. Zweitens ihr trotzdem folgen. Ergreifen, wovon man ergriffen ist.”
Heimito von Doderer, Die Strudlhofstiege oder Melzer und die Tiefe der Jahre
