1 " ... endowing the imperfect and the preterite with all the sweetness which there is in generosity, all the melancholy which there is in love; guided the sentence that was drawing to an end towards that which was waiting to begin, now hastening, now slackening the pace of the syllables so as to bring them, despite their difference in quantity, into a uniform rhythm, and breathed into this quite ordinary prose a kind of life, continuous and full of feeling. "
― Marcel Proust , Swann's Way
2 " They say it's the woman's prerogative to change her mind. But that's wrong. Guys are the one who get to say, " You know what? I don't want to be with you after all." They get to say it after they've sucked all the sweetness out of you, just like those cheap, liquid filled wax candy things we used to get for Halloween. They leave you dried up, empty piece of wax, and head off to find somebody else who still has some sweetness inside. "
3 " I did that girly little sighing thing you do when you can't handle all the sweetness anymore and bit my lip. "
― Shelly Crane , Significance (Significance, #1)
