“But the older he grew and the more intimately he came to know his brother, the oftener the thought occurred to him that the power of working for the general welfare 鈥� a power of which he felt himself entirely destitute 鈥� was not a virtue but rather a lack of something: not a lack of kindly honesty and noble desires and tastes, but a lack of the power of living, of what is called heart 鈥� the aspiration which makes a man choose one out of all the innumerable paths of life that present themselves, and desire that alone.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

“The clothes you're wearing, the room, the house, the city that you're in. Everything in it started out in the human imagination. Your lives, your personalities, your whole world. All invented. All made up. All the wars, the romances. The masterpieces and the machines. And there's nothing here but a funny little twist of amino acids, playing a marvelous game of pretend.”
― Alan Moore, Promethea, Vol. 5

“You should really stay true to your own style. When I first started writing, everybody said to me, 'Your style just isn't right because you don't use the really flowery language that romances have.' My romances - compared to what's out there - are very strange, very odd, very different. And I think that's one of the reasons they're selling.”
― Jude Deveraux

“Os romances nunca ser茫o totalmente imagin谩rios nem totalmente reais. Ler um romance 茅 confrontar-se tanto com a imagina莽茫o do autor quanto com o mundo real cuja superf铆cie arranhamos com uma curiosidade t茫o inquieta. Quando nos refugiamos num canto, nos deitamos numa cama, nos estendemos num div茫 com um romance nas m茫os, nossa imagina莽茫o passa a trafegar o tempo entre o mundo daquele romance e o mundo no qual ainda vivemos. O romance em nossas m茫os pode nos levar a um outro mundo onde nunca estivemos, que nunca vimos ou de que nunca tivemos not铆cia. Ou pode nos levar at茅 as profundezas ocultas de um personagem que, na superf铆cie, parece semelhante 脿s pessoas que conhecemos melhor. Estou chamando aten莽茫o para cada uma dessas possibilidades isoladas porque h谩 uma vis茫o que acalento de tempos em tempos que abarca os dois extremos. 脌s vezes tento conjurar, um a um, uma multid茫o de leitores recolhidos num canto e aninhados em suas poltronas com um romance nas m茫os; e tamb茅m tento imaginar a geografia de sua vida cotidiana. E ent茫o, diante dos meus olhos, milhares, dezenas de milhares de leitores v茫o tomando forma, distribu铆dos por todas as ruas da cidade, enquanto eles l锚em, sonham os sonhos do autor, imaginam a exist锚ncia dos seus her贸is e v锚em o seu mundo. E ent茫o, agora, esses leitores, como o pr贸prio autor, acabam tentando imaginar o outro; eles tamb茅m se p玫em no lugar de outra pessoa. E s茫o esses os momentos em que sentimos a presen莽a da humanidade, da compaix茫o, da toler芒ncia, da piedade e do amor no nosso cora莽茫o: porque a grande literatura n茫o se dirige 脿 nossa capacidade de julgamento, e sim 脿 nossa capacidade de nos colocarmos no lugar do outro.”
― Orhan Pamuk

“And you don鈥檛 even need to say anything. I鈥檓 screwed up. I don鈥檛 know how any of this works anymore than you do. But I do believe you鈥檙e worth every second it would take to figure it out,鈥� Mason said, a smile taking over his features.”
― Holly Hood, Run

“Mercifully one forgets one's love affairs as one forgets one's dreams.”

“(...)mais que o cinema ou a televis茫o, os romances permitiam viver coisas para as quais uma vida s贸 n茫o bastava.”

“Free," Amanda said. "I'd never thought I'd say this to you of all people, but are your nerves overwrought?"
"No," Free wrung her hands together. "My nerves are neither over- not underwrought. They are wrought to the precise degree demanded by this situation."
Amanda snorted in disbelief.
"The situation," Free admitted, "is one of both dreadful confusion and enormous anticipation.”
― Courtney Milan, The Suffragette Scandal

“I鈥檝e said before that I鈥檓 pretty sure Joni knows I鈥檓 harboring a secret crush on one of the guys. In fact, she probably knows it鈥檚 Sam. She grew up with us, too. I'm sure she鈥檚 seen the way I act around him. Maybe she鈥檚 pretended not to notice in order to spare my feelings. But that would go against her God-given instincts to tell me what to do, which would probably be to forget Sam Morneau altogether.”
― Jacqueline E. Smith, Boy Band
