― Virginia Woolf, The Voyage Out

“We are sometimes so happy, and never in our lives have we known more unhappiness. It’s as if we were working together on the same statue, cutting it out of each other’s misery. But I don’t even know the design.”
― Graham Greene, The End of the Affair

“You take a different view of your actions when you come to understand, when you are made to understand every day that your existence is necessary - you see, absolutely necessary - to another person.”
― Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim

“Ty mnie zabiłeś! - ty mnie nauczyłeś czytać!
W pięknych księgach i pięknym przyrodzeniu czytać!
Ty dla mnie ziemię piekłem zrobiłeś
(z żalem i uśmiechem)
i rajem!
(mocniej i ze wzgardą)
A to jest tylko ziemia!”
― Adam Mickiewicz, Dziady
