One always dies too soon – or too late. And yet one’s whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are – your life, and nothing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Life is like a novel. It’s filled with suspense. You have no idea what is going to happen until you turn the page.
Sidney Sheldon
Sometimes we search out again even a place that was not remarkable in itself – we look for it simply because we remember it. If we do find it, of course, everything is different.
Elizabeth Kostova
Do you know, what it’s like to love someone so much, that you can’t see yourself without picturing her? Or what it’s like to touch someone, and feel like you’ve come home? What we had wasn’t about sex, or about being with someone just to show off what you’ve got, the way it was for other kids our age. We were well, meant to be together. Some people spend their whole lives looking for that one person…I was lucky enough to have her all along.
Jodi Picoult
Making love to a nursemaid behind a tree, that soldier is more admirable than all the stars. Yet sometimes one trembling star comes in the clear sky and makes me think the world beautiful and we maggots deforming even the trees with our lust.
Virginia Woolf
A great rock is not disturbed by the wind; the mind of a wise man is not disturbed by either honour or abuse.
Buddha
