Madeline Miller
Amava il mare solo se tempestoso e il verde soltanto disseminato in mezzo alle rovine. Aveva bisogno di trarre dalle cose una specie di profitto personale; e rifiutava come inutile tutto quanto non contribuiva a saziare immediatamente il suo cuore [...].
Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert
“[...] lui è me più di quanto io stessa sia. Di qualunque sostanza siano fatte le anime, le nostre sono uguali.”
— Cime tempestose, Emily Brontë
“Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.”
— Charlotte Brontë; Jane Eyre
2.13 "Mizumono," Hannibal // Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë
Charlotte Brontë — Jane Eyre
I often think of the past, of the person I used to be
I don’t know where she went
- Bernardine Evaristo, Girl, Woman, Other
“Non c'è arte per scoprire nel volto la forma della mente.”
— Macbeth, William Shakespeare
I do like that this pandemic has got us all greeting each other like Jane Austen characters- “You are well, I hope? And your family? All in good health?”
Non so vivere in un altro modo, non riesco a sfuggire a questa ferocia: se c'è una vetta la devo raggiungere, se c'è un abisso lo devo toccare.
— tutto chiede salvezza, Daniele Mencarelli
Poi Beatrice piange, con un sorriso mescolato alle lacrime. Con lo sguardo fisso, immobile, attento su di lei, mi chiedo perché il dolore e la gioia piangano allo stesso modo.
— “Bianca come il latte, Rossa come il sangue”, Alessandro d'Avenia
danny your entire secret identity hinges on an incomplete palette swap you gotta be more careful about how the light hits you
basically i had an idea five days ago and blacked out and when i came to i had created This
Tu mi trafiggi l'anima. Sono dilaniato fra tormento e speranza. Non dirmi che è troppo tardi, che quei sentimenti così preziosi sono morti per sempre. [...] Non osare sostenere che l'uomo dimentica prima della donna, che il suo amore muore prima. Non ho amato altri che te. Posso essere stato ingiusto, debole e pieno di risentimento, ma mai incostante.
— Lettera del capitano Wentworth ad Anne, “Persuasione”, Jane Austen
“We live at home, quiet, confined, and our feelings prey upon us.” ― Jane Austen, Persuasion
