Robert Walser
“I am dying of the incomprehension of those who could have seen me and held me, dying of the emptiness of cautious and clever people, and of the lovelessness of hesitancy and not-much-liking.”
Robert Walser, Jakob von Gunten

Sylvia Plath
“If I was going to fall, I would hang on to my small comforts, at least, as long as I possibly could.”
Sylvia Plath

Virginia Woolf
“My roots go down to the depths of the world, through earth dry with brick, and damp earth, through veins of lead and silver. I am all fibre. All tremors shake me, and the weight of the earth is pressed to my ribs.”
Virginia Woolf, The Waves

Robert Walser
“Everything that’s forbidden lives a hundred times over; thus, if something is supposed to be dead, its life is all the livelier.”
Robert Walser, Jakob von Gunten

Selma Lagerlöf
“Or if this did not help, one stormy night I would let the fire approach the buckling wooden walls and let it ravage everything, so that people might no longer be enticed to dwell in this home of misfortune. Then no one would be able to enter this doomed place, only the church steeple's black jackdaws would found a colony in the large chimney, rising, blackened and eerie, over the desolate ground.
Yet I would surely be anxious when I saw the flames intertwined over the roof, when thick smoke, reddened by the firelight and interspersed with sparks, poured forth out of the old count's estate. In the crackling and sighing I would think I heard the lament of homeless people; at the blue tips of the flames I would think I saw disturbed phantasms hovering. I would think about how sorrow beautifies, how misfortune adorns, and weep, as if a temple to old gods had been doomed to disintegration.”
Selma Lagerlöf, Gösta Berling's Saga
