I was born in the back room of a shadowy house, and grew up amidst ancient furniture, books in Latin, and human mummies, but none of those things made me melancholy, because I came into the world with a breath of the jungle in my memory. Isabel Allende
Loving someone means helping them to be more themselves, which can be different from being what you’d like them to be, although often they turn out the same Merle Shain
it struck me what quality went to form a Man of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously - I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason. John Keats

What would they do to me,' he asked in confidential tones, 'if I refused to fly [the missions]?' We'd probably shoot you,' ex-P.F.C. Wintergreen replied. We?' Yossarian cried in surprise. 'What do yo mean, we? Since when are you on their side?' If you're going to be shot, whose side do you expect me to be on?' ex-P.F.C. Wintergreen retorted. Joseph Heller
