Graham Greene
“He was filled with horror at the thought of what a child becomes, and what the dead must feel watching the change from innocence to guilt and powerless to stop it”
Graham Greene, The Ministry of Fear

Juan Carlos Onetti
“I applaud the courage of he who accepts each and every one of the laws of a game he did not invent and was not asked if he wanted to play”
Juan Carlos Onetti, A Brief Life

Gustav Meyrink
“I have not let myself be stultified by science, whose highest goal is to furnish a `waiting room', which it would be best to tear down.”
Gustav Meyrink, The Golem

“A relationship is like a holiday from loneliness, beginning and ending in the same airport. The most awful thing about the end is that it reminds you so clearly of the beginning with the joy with which you set off. Everything is the same, yet everything has been inverted by grief.”
Louis BUSS, The Luxury of Exile

Arnold Bennett
“The manner of his life was of no importance. What affected her was that he had once been young. That he had grown old, and was now dead. That was all. Youth and vigour had come to that. Youth and vigour always came to that. Everything came to that.”
Arnold Bennett, The Old Wives' Tale
