"At his lips' touch, she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete." - the Great Gatsby
JE VIS, JE MEURS: JE ME BRÛLE ET ME NOIE
Je vis, je meurs: je me brûle et me noie;
J'ai chaud extrême en endurant froidure;
La vie m'est et trop molle et trop dure;
J'ai grands ennuis entremêlés de joie.
Tout à un coup je ris et je larmoie,
Et en plaisir maint grief tourment j'endure;
Mon bien s'en va, et à jamais il dure;
Tout en un coup je seche et je verdoie.
Ainsi Amour inconstamment me mène;
Et quand je pense avoir plus de douleur,
Sans y penser je me trouve hors de peine.
Puis quand je crois me joie être certaine
Et être au haut de mon désiré heur,
Il me remet en mon premier malheur.
- Louise Labé (,,uvres, 1555)

"17. You are sitting in an empty bar, in a town you've never before visited, drinking Bacardi with a soft-spoken acquaintance you barely know. After an hour, a third individual walks into the tavern and sits by himself, and you ask your acquaintance who the new man is. 'Be careful of that guy,' you are told. 'He is a man with a past.' A few minutes later, a fourth person enters the bar; he also sits alone. You ask your acquaintance who this new individual is. 'Be careful of that guy, too,' he says. 'He is a man with no past.' Which of these two people do you trust less?"
“We call each other beautiful and amazing and we say ‘I love you’ with utter conviction.â€

I am inscrutable, and the pain you seek is me.
"i didn't go to the moon, i went much farther, for time is the longest distance between two places. not long after i was fired for writing a poem on the lid of a shoe box... i left saint louis. i descended the steps of this fire escape for a last time, and followed, from then on, in my father's footsteps, attempting to find in motion what was already lost in space. i traveled around a great deal... the cities swept around me like dead leaves... leaves that were brightly colored but torn away from the branches. I was pursued by something... it came upon me unawares, taking me altogether by surprise. perhaps it was a familiar bit of music. perhaps it was only a transparent piece of glass. perhaps i am walking along a street at night in some strange city, before i have found companions. i pass the lighted window of a shop where perfume is sold. the window is filled with pieces of colored glass, tiny transparent bottles in delicate colors, like bits of a shattered rainbow. then all at once my sister touches my shoulder. i turn around and look into her eyes... oh laura, laura i tried to leave you behind me, but i am more faithful than i intended to be! i reach for a cigarette, i cross the street, i run into the movies or a bar, i buy a drink, i speak to the nearest stranger... anything to blow your candles out. for nowadays, the world is lit by lightning. blow out your candles laura. and so goodbye... " - tom, scene seven
"Listen, you might want to pack a few of your things together before going to bed. The former bishop of Turkey will be coming along tonight along with six to eight black men.

We don't know for sure, but we want you to be prepared." - David Sedaris
