Tom Robbins
“When two people meet and fall in love, there's a sudden rush of magic. Magic is just naturally present then. We tend to feed on that gratuitous magic without striving to make any more. One day we wake up and find that the magic is gone. We hustle to get it back, but by then it's usually too late, we've used it up. What we have to do is work like hell at making additional magic right from the start. It's hard work, but if we can remember to do it, we greatly improve our chances of making love stay.”
― Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker

Marc Levy
“Il y a des journées illuminées de petites choses, des riens du tout qui vous rendent incroyablement heureux ; un après-midi à chiner, un jouet qui surgit de l’enfance sur l’étal d’un brocanteur, une main qui s’attache à la votre, un appel que l’on attendait pas, une parole douce, vote enfant qui vous prend dans ses bras sans rien vous demander d’autre qu’un moment d’amour. Il y a des journées illuminées de petits moments de grâce, une odeur qui vous met l’âme en joie, un rayon de soleil qui entre par la fenêtre, le bruit de l’averse alors qu’on est encore au lit, les trottoirs enneigés ou l’arrivée du printemps et ses premiers bourgeons.”
― Marc Levy, Le Premier jour

Margaret Drabble
“I need words and print... I need print like an addict. I could live without it, perhaps. But I hope I never have to try.”
― Margaret Drabble

Alice Hoffman
“There are some things, after all, that Sally Owens knows for certain: Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. Keep rosemary by your garden gate. Add pepper to your mashed potatoes. Plant roses and lavender, for luck. Fall in love whenever you can.”
― Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic

Nelson Mandela
“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.”
― Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom: Autobiography of Nelson Mandela
