harry potter & the deathly hallows.

• “never had the sky been more studded with stars and more charming, the trees more trembling, the odor of the grass more penetrating; never had the birds fallen asleep among the leaves with a sweeter noise; never had all the harmonies of universal serenity responded more thoroughly to the inward music of love; never had marius been more captivated, more happy, more ecstatic.”

lés miserábles.

• “this one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. you are alive. and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. and you’re listening to that song, and that drive with the people who you love most in this world. and in this moment, i swear, we are infinite.”

• “why do we smile? why do we laugh? why do we feel alone? why are we sad and confused? why do we read poetry? why do we cry when we see a painting? why is there a riot in the heart when we love? why do we feel shame? what is that thing in the pit of your stomach called desire?”

• “you — you alone will have the stars as no one else has them... in one of the stars i shall be living. in one of them i shall be laughing. and so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night... you — only you — will have stars that can laugh.”

le petit prince.

• “i have for the first time found what i can truly love – i have found you. you are my sympathy – my better self – my good angel – i am bound to you with a strong attachment. i think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wrap my existence about you – and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.”
