- Gazing at the rain, I consider what it means to belong, to become part of something. To have someone cry for me. From someplace distant, so very distant. From, ultimately, a dream. No matter how far I reach out, no matter how fast I run, I'll never make it. — Dance, dance, dance by Haruki Murakami
- There are, I dare say, many lovers who would never have been drawn to each other had they met for the first time, as, say, they met the second time. — J.M. Barrie
- Francie stood on tiptoe and stretched her arms wide. "Oh, I want to hold it all!" she cried. "I want to hold the way the night is - cold without wind. And the way the stars are so near and shiny. I want to hold all of it tight until it hollers out, 'Let me go! Let me go!' — A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
- You know that feeling of waiting for someone. I mean really waiting for someone - standing in front of a restaurant in the cold and having hundreds of people pass you on the sidewalk. And you don't want to do anything else, because you're afraid you might miss something - that somehow if you don't spot him right away, he'll walk right by. So you stand there and you don't do anything except think about how you're standing there. Occasionally you might look at your watch, or check your cell phone to see if it's accidentally on silent, even though you already checked for that a minute ago. That's what this is starting to feel like.
- Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. — A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
- Oh, as if you had no choice? There's a moment, there's always a moment, "I can do this, I can give into this, or I can resist it", and I don't know when your moment was, but I bet you there was one. — Closer (2004)
- In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken away from you. — Oscar Wilde
- If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life. - Oscar Wilde
- And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about. - John Steinbeck
