“The world is so huge that people are always getting lost in it. There are too many ideas and things and people too many directions to go. I was starting to believe that the reason it matters to care passionately about something is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size. It makes the world seem not huge and empty but full of possibility.”
― Susan Orlean , The Orchid Thief

“As long as the heart beats, as long as body and soul keep together, I cannot admit that any creature endowed with a will has need to despair of life.”
― Jules Verne, Journey to the Center of the Earth

“In my student bathroom, I had given birth to both life and death.”

“Porque por encima de todas las razones sociales y psicológicas que pueda encontrar a lo que viví, hay una de la cual estoy totalmente segura: esas cosas me ocurrieron para que diera cuenta de ellas. Y quizás el verdadero objetivo de mi cuerpo, mis sensaciones y mis pensamientos se conviertan en escritura, es decir, en algo inteligible y general, y que mi experiencia pase a disolverse completamente en la cabeza y en la vida de otros.”
― Annie Ernaux, L'Événement
