“It is a pity that Man cannot be at the same time impressive and truthful.”
― E.M. Forster, Aspects of the Novel

“But of course, if I could change it, I wouldn't be so angry. The anger is, I have no power, but I'm filled with opinions.”
― Fran Lebowitz

“Grief causes you to leave yourself. You step outside your narrow little pelt. And you can’t feel grief unless you’ve had love before it – grief is the final outcome of love, because it’s love lost. You do understand; I know you do. But you just don’t want to think about it. It’s the cycle of love completed: to love, to lose, to feel grief, to leave, and then to love again. Jason, grief is awareness that you will have to be alone, and there is nothing beyond that because being alone is the ultimate final destiny of each individual living creature. That’s what death is, the great loneliness.”
― Philip K. Dick, Flow, My Tears, the Policeman Said.

“A wind blew, from what quarter I know not, but it lifted the half-grown leaves so that there was a flash of silver-grey in the air. It was the time between the lights, when colours undergo their intensification and purples and golds burn in window panes like the beat of an excitable heart, when for some reason the beauty of the world revealed and yet soon to perish ... the beauty of the world which is so soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.”
― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own
