Delle 820 lettere scritte da Van Gogh nell'arco della sua breve esistenza ben 651 sono indirizzate al fratello Theo: il primo a comprenderne il talento e a incoraggiarne la vocazione, e il solo che non gli negò mai l'indispensabile sostegno morale e finanziario. Pochi artisti hanno rivelato così tanto di sé stessi nei propri scritti.

Ta książka to szczęście w czystej postaci - najlepsza w chwili, gdy życie za bardzo doskwiera. Obie ulepione ze słabości: do kanapy, do rodziny, do prysznica, który oczyszcza z codziennych strachów. Już nic nie muszą: nie muszą wygłaszać poglądów i nie muszą ich nie wygłaszać, nie muszą być śliczne ani dobrze wypaść, nie muszą wypowiadać złotych myśli, ba! w ogóle mogą z zachwytem pomilczeć. Chcą natomiast: kochać, dbać o przyjaciół, pielęgnować umysł, żeby jak najdłużej cieszyć się życiem i nie być ciężarem dla otoczenia.

Als Simenon nach Lüttich kommt, um seine greise Mutter in ihren letzten Tagen zu begleiten, richten sich Augen von verwaschenem Grau auf ihn. "Warum bist du gekommen, Georges?" So beginnt ein letztes, regloses Duell zwischen Mutter und Sohn. Aufgewachsen in ärmlichen Verhältnissen war das Leben der Mutter geprägt von Entbehrungen und von unbedingtem Aufstiegswillen. Menschen auf der Straße begegnete sie sanft, ihre Nächsten jedoch behandelte sie schroff und unduldsam. Ihr Sohn war nie gut genug. Haben sie einander je verstanden, haben sie sich je geliebt?

Le vicende raccontate da Isabel Allende in "Paula" hanno suscitato un'attenzione che è andata ben oltre i confini del successo editoriale e di stampa. Dall'uscita del libro in poi Isabel Allende ha cominciato a ricevere lettere che, con modalità e forme diverse, testimoniavano una partecipazione profonda, una intensità di lettura straordinaria.

While Barbara was confined to a rehabilitation facility to recover, her inner journey took her through territories of fear, doubt, pain, guilt, and down other emotional paths.

Described as "the first blogger", Mary MacLane lived a tortured life, ahead of her time. Her beloved father died when she was a young child, and at the age of eight, her stepfather moved the family from its home in Winnipeg, Canada, to Montana in the United States, where young Mary had a hard time making friends. Her sensational autobiographical style of writing was considered scandalous, as she told of her bohemian lifestyle, feminist politics, and open bisexuality.

Bachmann studiert dort Philosophie, für Paul Celan ist Wien eine Zwischenstation. Im Mai 1948 lernen sie einander kennen, Ende Juni geht er nach Paris. Ihr Briefwechsel nach der Trennung ist zuerst schütter, verläuft zögernd, dann setzt er sich fort in immer neuen dramatischen Phasen. Jede dieser Phasen hat ihr eigenes Gesicht: ihren besonderen Ton, ihre Themen, ihre Hoffnungen, ihre Dynamik, ihre eigene Form des Schweigens.

Children perch atop grandparents' knees, both sets of hands hovering above the metal keys: I LOVE YOU. Others walk in alone on Friday nights and confess their hopes: I will find someone someday.

Dr A. P. J. Abdul Kalam had a great belief in the power of the youth. He met over 21 million children and young people in India and outside and spoke to them about the power of knowledge, ambition, moral behaviour and the need to bring about change in society.
