Sometimes it's necessary to believe in love, even if it doesn't exist.

Our needs cancel each other out, and that's as solid a base for love as any.

our love for the dead, like a floating iceberg, can only be measured by the depths of our resentments.

Death is a woman, and for that reason she's courageous and just, and never makes distinctions between mortals; she'll crush the ignorant, the arrogant, and the wise alike under her icy foot.

Sometimes it's necessary to believe in love, even if it doesn't exist.

Every country that aspires to become a nation needs its heroes, its eminent civic and moral leaders, and if it doesn't have them, it's our duty to invent them.

A story is like building a chapel; a novel is a cathedral.
