V.A.L.I.S
by Philip K. Dick

Horselover Fat's nervous breakdown began the day he got the phone call from Gloria asking if he had any Nembutals. He asked her why she wanted them and she said that she intended to kill herself. At once Horselover Fat leaped to the conclusion that this was her way of asking for help. It had been Fat's delusion for years that he could help people. His psychiatrist once told him that he needed to do two things; get off dope (which he hadn't done) and to stop trying to help people (he still tried to help people).

Journey to the End of the Night (Voyage au bout de la nuit, 1932)
Louis-Ferdinand Céline

"Years have passed since I left her, years and more years . . . I wrote many times to Detroit and all the other addresses I remembered, where I thought she might be known. I never received an answer.

The house is closed now. That's all I've been able to find out. Good, admirable Molly, if ever she reads these lines in some place I never heard of, I want her to know that my feelings for her haven't changed, that I still love her and always will in my own way, that she can come here any time she pleases and share my bread and furtive destiny. If she's no longer beautiful, hell, that's all right too! We'll manage. I've kept so much of her beauty in me, so living and so warm, that I've plenty for both of us, to last us twenty years, the rest of our lives.

To leave her I certainly had to be mad, and in a cold, disgusting way. Still, I've kept my soul in one place up to now, and if death were to come and take me tomorrow, I'm sure I wouldn't be quite as cold, as ugly, as heavy as other men, and it's thanks to the kindness and the dream that Molly gave me during my few months in America."

The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien

There was Eru, the one, who in Arda is called Iluvatar; and he made first the Ainur, the holy ones, that were the offspring of his thought, and they were with him before aught else was made.
