Oscar Wilde
“If I could get back my youth, I'd do anything in the world except get up early, take exercise or be respectable.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Nicole Krauss
“Now that mine is almost over, I can say that the one thing that struck me most about life is the capacity for change. One day you're a person and the next day they tell you you're a dog. At first it's hard to bear, but after a while you learn not to look at it as a loss. There's even a moment when it becomes exhilarating to realize just how little needs to stay the same for you to continue the effort they call, for lack of a better word, being human.”
Nicole Krauss, The History of Love
