“There are two kind of men,' said Ka, in a didatic voice. 'The first kind does not fall in love until he's seen how the girls eats a sandwich, how she combs her hair, what sort of nonsense she cares about, why she's angry at her father, and what sort of stories people tell about her. The second type of man -- and I am in this category -- can fall in love with a woman only if he knows next to nothing about her.”
― Orhan Pamuk, Snow

“Nếu cuộc đời này toàn chuyện xấu xa
Tại sao cây táo lại nở hoa
Sao rãnh nước trong veo đến thế?”
― Lưu Quang Vũ, Gió và tình yêu thổi trên đất nước tôi

“Tôi rất yêu mấy người cộng sản, bởi họ vừa đấu tranh chống toàn cầu hóa vừa hát Quốc tế ca”
― Frédéric Beigbeder, L'Égoïste romantique

“The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.”
― William Saroyan, The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze and Other Stories
