Dialect

“It's not a bad thing to be loved.”
― Koushun Takami, Battle Royale

“Just because things hadn't gone the way I had planned didn't necessarily mean they had gone wrong.”
― Ann Patchett, What Now?

“There was a star riding through clouds one night, & I said to the star, 'Consume me'.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Waves

“Am I in love? --yes, since I am waiting. The other one never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn't wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game. Whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover's fatal identity is precisely this: I am the one who waits.”
― Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments
