Michael D. O'Brien
“[About the main character approaching death in old age, observed by her husband . . .] He saw that she had already laid down a large portion of her life long ago. Piece by piece she had given it away as she wrestled with existence, as her self was absorbed as nourishment into his life and the life of the children and the community. And laid down most piercingly, as she abandoned, one by one, the shapes of the dreams she had planned. Only to take them up again in other forms.”
Michael D. O'Brien, Strangers and Sojourners

Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Elizabeth Marie Pope
“I never thought of it like that. I always thought of you as a part of me, like my own eyes or my own hands. You don't go around thinking 'I love my eyes, I love my hands', do you? But think what it would be like to live without your eyes or your hands. To be mad, or to be blind. I can't talk about it. It's how I feel.”
Elizabeth Marie Pope, The Perilous Gard

Catullus
“Difficile est longum subito deponere amorem. Difficile est, verum hoc qua lubet efficias,” which is Latin for

“It is difficult suddenly to put aside a long-standing love; it is difficult, but somehow you must do it.”
Catullus, Gaius Valerius
