“At one hundred, surely you learn to overcome loss and grief—or do they hound you till the bitter end? At one hundred, siblings forget, sons forget, loved ones forget, no one remembers anything, even the most devastated forget to remember. Mothers and fathers have long since died. Does anyone remember?”
― André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

“Nesta had loved Cassian since she'd first laid eyes on him. Had loved him even when she did not want to, even when she had been swallowed by despair and fear and hatred. Had loved him and destroyed herself because she didn't believe she deserved him, because he was all that was good, and brave, and kind, and she loved him, she loved him, she loved him”
― Sarah J. Maas, A ​Court of Silver Flames

“And yes, there was such a luster in his eyes that I had to look away, and when I looked back at him, his gaze hadn’t moved and was still focused on my face, as if to say, So you looked away and you’ve come back, will you be looking away again soon?—which was why I had to look away once more, as if immersed in thought, yet all the while scrambling for something to say, the way a fish struggles for water in a muddied pond that’s drying up in the heat.”
― André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

“Когато очите ни се срещнаха, усетих, че пребледнявам. Обзе ме необяснимо чувство на страх. Разбрах, че съм срещнал човек с такова обаяние, на което, ако се поддам, би могло да ме погълне целия, цялата ми душа, изкуството ми дори. Никога не съм допускал външни обстоятелства да влияят на живота ми. Ти добре знаеш, Хари, колко съм независим по природа. Винаги съм бил господар на себе си, поне до срещата с Дориан Грей. И изведнъж… всъщност не знам как да ти го обясня. Нещо сякаш ми подсказа, че съм пред прага на критичен момент в моя живот.Изпитах странното усещане, че съдбата се готви да ми предложи изтънчени удоволствия, но и не по-малко изтънчени мъки. Изплаших се и се обърнах да си вървя.”
― Оскар Уайлд, Портретът на Дориан Грей
