The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan

Random Line: She was full of yearning. To leave, to be someone else, somewhere else, to start moving and never stop. And yet the more the innermost part of her screamed to move, the more she recognised that she was frozen to one place, one life.

The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

My Rating: ★★★★☆

Random Line: The human race is a monotonous affair. Most people spend the greatest part of their time working in order to live, and what little freedom remains so fills them with fear that they seek out any and every means to be rid of it. (Page 29)
