Poate că au avut dreptate când au pus dragostea în cărți, se prea poate ca ea să nu poată exista în altă parte. - William Faulkner

Perhaps they were right putting love into books. Perhaps it could not live anywhere else.

It surged up out of the water and stood for an instant upright upon that surging and heaving desolation like Christ.

[B]ecause the second time I ever saw you I learned what I had read in books but I never had actually believed: that love and suffering are the same thing and that the value of love is the sum of what you have to pay for it and anytime you get it cheap you have cheated yourself.
