“Vienna, to me it was the tuning fork for the entire world. Saying the word Vienna was like striking a tuning fork and then listening to find what tone it called forth in the person I was talking to. It was how I tested people. If there was no response, this was not the kind of person I liked. Vienna wasn't just a city, it was a tone that either one carries forever in one's soul or one does not. It was the most beautiful thing in my life. I was poor, but I was not alone, because I had a friend.” PeopleIfsWorldKindPersonsDoeSoulBeautifulPoorCitiesTalkingForeverListeningResponseToneCarrieBeautiful ThingsTestedNot AloneForksTuningViennaNo Response Author:Sándor Márai
“And I've been waiting for you, because I couldn't do anything else. And we've both known that we would meet again, and then it would be all over with life and everything that gave our existence meaning and tension. A secret of the kind that lurks between the two of us has extraordinary power. It burns through the fabric of life like a scorching beam, and yet at the same time it also gives it tensile strength. It forces us to live.” GivingKindTwoWould BeForceWaitingSecretExistenceKnownExtraordinaryTensionFabricBeamWaiting For YouTwo Of UsScorchingFabric Of Life Author:Sándor Márai
