“I feel the weight of centuries smothering me. Some girl a hundred years ago once lived as I do. And she is dead. I am the present, but I know I, too, will pass. The high moment, the burning flash, come and are gone, continuous quicksand. And I don’t want to die.” - Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

"Somewhere between not enough and not at all. I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it- to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once."

- Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“The words the happy say

Are paltry melody

But those the silent feel

Are beautiful-”
