“I'd like to die listening to a piece of music. I imagine this as so easy, so natural, but naturally it's quite impossible. Notes stab too softly. The wounds they leave behind may smart, but they don't fester. Melancholy and pain trickle out instead of blood. When the notes cease, all is peaceful within me again.”
― Robert Walser, Masquerade and Other Stories

“It’s how I fill the time when nothing’s happening. Thinking too much, flirting with melancholy.”
― Tim Winton, Breath

“The more the heart is nourished with happiness, the more it is insatiable.”
― Gabrielle Roy

“Of what are you thinking now?" she asked.

"No, of yourself—of you, Mogens.”
― Jens Peter Jacobsen, Mogens and Other Stories
