“It is when suffering finds a voice and
sets our nerves quivering that this pity comes troubling us.”
― H.G. Wells, The Island of Dr. Moreau

“A novel is never anything but a philosophy expressed in images. And in a good novel the philosophy has disappeared into the images.”
― Albert Camus, Lyrical and Critical Essays

“Am I in love? --yes, since I am waiting. The other one never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn't wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game. Whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover's fatal identity is precisely this: I am the one who waits.”
― Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments
