Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Filled with rapture, his soul yearned for freedom, space, vastness. Over him the heavenly dome, full of quiet, shining stars, hung boundlessly. From the zenith to the horizon the still-dim Milky Way stretched its double strand. Night, fresh and quiet, almost unstirring, enveloped the earth. The white towers and golden domes of the church gleamed in the sapphire sky. The luxuriant autumn asleep till morning. The silence of the earth seemed to merge with the silence of the heavens and the mystery of the earth touched the mystery of the stars.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Haruki Murakami
“Kumiko and I felt something for each other from the beginning. It was not one of those strong, impulsive feelings that can hit two people like an electric shock when they first meet, but something quieter and gentler, like two tiny lights traveling in tandem through a vast darkness and drawing imperceptibly closer to each other as they go. As our meetings grew more frequent, I felt not so much that I had met someone new as that I had chanced upon a dear old friend.”
Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

Chuck Palahniuk
“I'm a toxic waste byproduct of God's creation.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

Charles Bukowski
“If you are going to try, go all the way or don't even start. If you follow it you will be alive with the gods. It is the only good fight there is.”
Charles Bukowski

Gabriel García Márquez
“Ninguna persona que merece tus lagrimas. Y quien las merezcas no te hara llorar.”
Gabriel García Márquez
