Ottessa Moshfegh
“Open up your heart,’ she said.

‘I’m afraid it’s broken.’

‘If I was knocking at your door, would you open it?’

‘I would, of course.’

‘Even if the door was broken.’

‘I would try.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, Lapvona

Ottessa Moshfegh
“She was, to him, a holy grace, far more powerful than any priest or nun. God lived in her eyes. That was how he had fallen for her—like a religious conversion. It had struck him the moment he’d seen her, a profound, eternal love, the kind that occurred by cause of fate, against reason.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, Lapvona

Amélie Nothomb
“En effet: je mourais déjà. Je venais d'apprendre cette nouvelle horrible que tout humain apprend un jour ou l'autre: ce que tu aimes, tu vas le perdre. "Ce qui t'a été donné te sera repris." Face à la découverte de cette spoliation future, il y a deux attitudes possibles: soit on décide de ne pas s'attacher aux êtres et aux choses, afin de rendre l'amputation moins douloureuse; soit on décide, au contraire, d'aimer d'autant plus les êtres et les choses, d'y mettre le paquet - "puisque nous n'aurons pas beaucoup de temps ensemble, je vais te donner en un an tout l'amour que j'aurais pu te donner en une vie.”
Amélie Nothomb, Métaphysique des tubes

Franz Kafka
“You wouldn't believe the kind of person I could become if you wanted it.”
Franz Kafka, Letters to Felice

Gabriel García Márquez
“- La ilusión no se come - dijo ella.
- No se come, pero alimenta - replicó el coronel.”
Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez, El coronel no tiene quien le escriba
