“ With stars in her eyes and veils in her hair, with cyclamen and wild violets—what nonsense was he thinking? She was fifty at least: she had eight children. Stepping through fields of flowers and taking to her breast buds that had broken and lambs that had fallen: with the stars in her eyes and the wind in her hair—He took her bag. ”
To The Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf

“ I shall continue to exist. I may assume other disguises, other forms, but I shall try to exist. ”
Pale Fire, Vladimir Nabokov
“ Whenever someone who knows you disappears, you lose one version of yourself. Yourself as you were seen, as you were judged to be. Lover or enemy, mother or friend, those who know us construct us, and their several knowings slant the different facets of our characters like diamond-cutter’s tools. Each such loss is a step leading to the grave, where all versions blend and end. ”
The Ground Beneath Her Feet, Salman Rushdie
“ The memory of the heart eliminates the bad and magnifies the good; thanks to this artifice, we are able to bear the past ”
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart.
”
I am, I am, I am.
The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath
“ I wanted to burn down cities. Scream so loud it filled the galaxy. Snap the points off mountains and cut myself with those points and streak the sky with blood.
But I didn’t.
It wasn’t appropriate. ”
The Tracey Fragments, Maureen Medved
