The most beautiful passages you have read.
So the headline kind of explains it self.
I will start (remark that these are passages translated from another language than english)
**Gottfried Keller –** ***Romeo and Juliet in the Village***
"It's worth the trouble of coming here—we haven't seen one like this in a long time!"
Her husband noticed this at once. With a dark look, he jabbed her in the ribs and whispered, "You old cow! What are you doing?"
"Don't interrupt me," she replied irritably. "You old fool! Can't you see how hard I'm trying, and that I know how to deal with people?
They're nothing but rags from your circle of acquaintances. Let me get on with it—I want more distinguished customers coming here before long!"
All of this was illuminated by one or two dim hanging lamps, while Sali, the son, went out into the dark kitchen, sat down on the stove, and wept over his father and mother.
**J. G. Ballard –** ***Empire of the Sun***
The Chinese took pleasure in watching the spectacle of death, Jim decided, as a way of reminding themselves how precarious their own lives were. For the same reason, they could also be cruel—to remind themselves how foolish it was to believe that the world was anything else.
**Herman Bang - Families Without Hope.**
"He had dreamed of greatness and knights and mighty men, and then grief had come like a grey fog and a bad snowstorm over his dreams, because the knights of reality were dead and the great men no longer existed."
