Alexis de Tocqueville

With opportunity half-open in front of them, there are men who have a similar tendency to remain undecided between two solutions, at the risk of being crushed by fate abruptly closing the opportunity. The overprudent, cats as they are, and because they are cats, sometimes run more danger than the bold Victor Hugo
He does not always remain bent over thepages; he often leans back and closeshis eyes over a line he has been readingagain, and its meaning spreads throughhis blood. Rainer Maria Rilke
Old lovers go the way of old photographs, bleaching out gradually as in a slow bath of acid: first the moles and pimples, then the shadings. Then the faces themselves, until nothing remains but the general outlines. Margaret Atwood
Stanislaw Lem quote: "I felt myself being invaded through and through, I crumbled,..."
I felt myself being invaded through and through, I crumbled, disintegrated, and only emptiness remained. Stanislaw Lem
