“What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life--to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?”
― George Eliot, Adam Bede

“To live for the moment: it sounds so right and so beautiful. But the more I want to, the less I understand what it means.”
― Pascal Mercier, Night Train to Lisbon

“So, the fear of death might be described as the fear of not being able to become whom one had planned to be.”
― Pascal Mercier, Night Train to Lisbon

“Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.”
― Robert A. Heinlein
