13. “A study in scarlet, eh? Why shouldn't we use a little art jargon? There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it.”
Arthur Conan Doyle
Murder, Investigation, Metaphor, Detective Work, Life And Death
17. “After a while, it sort of began to rain, which is to say that it was the kind of rain that never comes to a decision about whether it’s actually raining or not. Driving in it, you would never have been certain whether or not to turn on your wipers.” Neil Gaiman Weather, Uncertainty, Metaphor, Perception, Confusion
25. “At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That's a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try. There are only diamonds in the whole world, diamonds and perhaps the shabby gift of disillusion.” F. Scott Fitzgerald Love, Temporality, Experience, Disillusionment, Metaphor
26. “Aureliano not only understood by then, he also lived his brother's experiences as something of his own, for on one occasion when the latter was explaining in great detail the mechanism of love, he interrupted him to ask: What does it feel like? José Arcadio gave an immediate reply: It's like an earthquake.” Gabriel Garcia Marquez Love, Family, Understanding, Experience, Metaphor, Relationships
