In films, we are voyeurs, but in novels, we have the experience of being someone else: knowing another person's soul from the inside. No other art form does that. And this is why sometimes, when we put down a book, we find ourselves slightly altered as human beings. Novels change us from within.

— Donna Tartt

“imagino como seria te amar teria o gosto estranho das palavras que brincamos e a seriedade de quando esquecemos quais palavras imagino como seria te amar desisto da ideia numa verbal volúpia e recomeço a escrever poemas.”

— Ana Cristina Cesar, Poética. p. 201.

... language itself seduced her. She fluttered with the knowledge that certain words in a certain order could rearrange her on the inside, like moving furniture. Words changed and remade her constantly, and no one else could even sense a difference.

— Juhea Kim, from Beasts of a Little Land

elizabeth bennet said "i can't fix him nor would I for a million dollars" and fitzwilliam darcy said "wait she thinks I need to be fixed? .... she's right, I've gotta work on myself and learn how to be more understanding and generous" and then he did. and elizabeth was like "shit.... he's so understanding and generous now.... makes me realize that my stubbornness and pride in my discernment are obstacles in the lives of myself and others" and then they got married and that's why pride and prejudice has been a bestseller for two hundred years
