“A pain stabbed my heart, as it did every time I saw a girl I loved who was going the opposite direction in this too-big world.” Jack Kerouac, On the Road
“They were involved in that awkward procedure of getting to unknow each other.” John Irving, The World According to Garp
“Emotionlessly she kissed me in the vineyard and walked off down the row. We turned at a dozen paces, for love is a duel, and looked at each other for the last time.” Jack Kerouac, On the Road
