Mathilda

“I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul
The former love has never gone away,
But let it not recall to you my dole;
I wish not sadden you in any way.

I loved you silently, without hope, fully,
In diffidence, in jealousy, in pain;
I loved you so tenderly and truly,
As let you else be loved by any man. ”
― Alexander Pushkin

“The longer and more carefully we look at a funny story, the sadder it becomes.”
― Nikolai V. Gogol

“We are always the same age inside. ”
― Gertrude Stein

“I can be quite sarcastic when I'm in the mood.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
