““I feel as if I had been in the world a thousand years, and I trail my life behind me like an endless scarf.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”
The Canterville Ghost • Oscar Wilde“Paper, they say, does not blush, but I assure you it's not true and that it's blushing just as I am now, all over.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“There's nothing deeper than love. In fairy tales, the princesses kiss the frogs, and the frogs become princes. In real life, the princesses kiss princes, and the princes turn into frogs.”
By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept • Paulo Coelho““A slight blow for me: a telegram from Paris, informing me that an old uncle of mine (…) is arriving tomorrow evening. It is a blow because it will take time and I need all the time I have and a thousand times more than all the time I have and most of all I’d like to have all the time there is just for you, for thinking about you, for breathing in you. My apartment is making me restless, the evenings are making me restless, I’d like to be someplace different and I’d prefer it if the office didn’t exist at all; but then I think that I deserve to be hit in the face for speaking beyond the present moment, this moment, which belongs to you.” (6 July 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka
