"I am now reading an abridged German edition, whilst constantly checking the original French text to see if the translator left out a paragraph, in which case I look it up in *another abridged translation*.

At this point, it would be quicker to just get fluent in French."

Andrew Sean Greer
“I hadn’t known I needed him there. Like a landmark, a pyramid-shaped stone or a cypress, that we assume will never move. So we can find our way home. And then, inevitably, one day—it’s gone. And we realize that we thought we were the only changing thing, the only variable, in the world; that the objects and people in our lives are there for our pleasure, like the playing pieces of a game, and cannot move of their own accord; that they are held in place by our need for them, by our love. How stupid.”
Andrew Sean Greer, Less

Andrew Sean Greer
“He kisses--how do I explain it? Like someone in love. Like he has nothing to lose. Like someone who has just learned a foreign language and can use only the present tense and only the second person. Only now, only you.”
Andrew Sean Greer, Less

Terry Pratchett
“People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people.”
Terry Pratchett, Night Watch

Oscar Wilde
“It is not the perfect, but the imperfect, who have need of love.
It is when we are wounded by our own hands that love should come to cure us.
Else what use is love at all?”
Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband

Richard Armitage
“I have a secret feeling that we're all Hobbits. Deep down we all want to stay home and feel safe, but we all dream about someone knocking on the door and saying "Come on an adventure and let's have a fun ride.”
Richard Armitage, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Chronicles I: Art & Design
