“A strong feeling of fatalism, or better, of the ephemeral nature of things. This tendency gives an air of mild depression to actions and feelings in many areas of Japanese life. I believe that this tinge of depression is connected with very deep feelings about the relation to the mother, but I do not want to develop this idea here and will simply leave it with its more obvious connection to Buddhistic thought.”

“-(…) Some people, like your sister, just get happier and happier every day. And some people, like Beyla Asch, just get sadder and sadder. And some people, like you, get both.
-What about you? Are you the happiest and saddest right now that you’ve ever been?
-Of course I am.
-Why?
-Because nothing makes me happier and nothing makes me sadder than you.”

- Nicole Krauss, The History of Love

““Being born a woman is an awful tragedy. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars—to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording —all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night.””

“… aquello le resultaba tan irreal como el día de su nacimiento, ese hecho acaso más cierto que ninguno, pero que sólo atinamos a recordar como una increíble idea.”
