" Most people are not looking for provable truths. As you said, truth is often accompanied by intense pain, and almost no one is looking for painful truths. What people need is beautiful, comforting stories that make them feel as if their lives have some meaning. "
Haruki Murakami, 1Q84 (via solunars)
‘…I can’t think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there’s no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.’
Franz Kafka, The Castle
" They made love in the dark by feel, without seeing each other. Is there another love than that of darkness, a love that would cry aloud in daylight? "
Albert Camus, The Adulterous Woman, translation by Justin O’Brien (via frenchtwist)
