~ Marguerite Duras
Her mother won't stop her when she tries to make money. The child will say, I asked him for five hundred piastres so that we can go back to France. Her mother will say, Good, that's what we'll need to set ourselves up in Paris, we'll be able to manage, she'll say, with five hundred piastres. The child knows what she's doing is what the mother would have chosen for her to do, if she'd dared, if she'd had the strength, if the pain of her thoughts hadn't been there every day, wearing her out.
~ Marguerite Duras
La mémoire de la plupart des hommes est un cimetière abandonné, où gisent sans honneurs des morts qu'ils ont cessé de chérir. Toute douleur prolongée insulte à leur oubli.
~ Marguerite Yourcenar
Suffering turns us into egotists, for it absorbs us completely: it is later, in the form of memory, that it teaches us compassion.
~ Marguerite Yourcenar
No sabía que el dolor contiene extraños laberintos por los cuales no había terminado de andar
~ Marguerite Yourcenar

~ Marguerite Yourcenar
Se dice: loco de alegría. También podría decirse: cuerdo de dolor.
~ Marguerite Yourcenar
La musique me transporte dans un monde où la douleur ne cesse pas d'exister, mais s'élargit, se tranquillise, devient tout à la fois plus calme et plus profonde, comme un torrent qui se transforme en lac. (p. 81)
~ Marguerite Yourcenar
El sufrimiento nos hace egoístas porque nos absorbe por entero: sólo más tarde, en forma de recuerdo, nos enseña la compasión.
~ Marguerite Yourcenar
Sentía que en torno a mí empezaban a ofuscarse frente a un dolor tan prolongado; su violencia causaba mayor escándalo que su causa. Si me hubiera abandonado a las mismas lamentaciones por la muerte de un hermano o de un hijo, lo mismo me hubieran reprochado que llorara como una mujer. La memoria de la mayoría de los hombres es un cementerio abandonado donde yacen los muertos que aquéllos han dejado de honrar y de querer. Todo dolor prolongado es un insulto a ese olvido.
~ Marguerite Yourcenar
Roses are red. Blood is too…
~ Mari Mancusi
In queste carte l'arabesco del suo narrare non è formale ma somiglia ad una ricerca della penna intorno ad un punto piagato: come se egli cercasse continuamente di respingere qualche cosa di forza pari alla repugnanza che gli ispira.

They say the path of true love never runs smooth. Well, Luke and my true love's path didn't run at all, it limped along in new boots that were chafing its heels. Blistered and cut, red and raw, every hopping, lopsided step, a little slice of agony.
~ Marian Keyes

~ Marian Keyes
Isn't it strange that sometimes the memory of an act of kindness can cause more pain than the cruel stuff?
