The word "and" in works of art

The plague is not in you or in me. Nor is it in the soil, in the air, in the water. But it is a subtle thing, and it creeps in.

The Plague / Albert Camus

Until then I had thought each book spoke of the things, human or divine, that lie outside books. Now I realized that not infrequently books speak of books: it is as if they spoke among themselves. In the light of this reflection, the library seemed all the more disturbing to me. It was then the place of a long, centuries-old murmuring, an imperceptible dialogue between one parchment and another, a living thing, a receptacle of powers not to be ruled by a human mind, a treasure of secrets emanated by many minds.

The Name of the Rose / Umberto Eco

But man is a fickle and disreputable creature and perhaps, like a chess player, is interested in the process of attaining his goal rather than the goal itself.

Heart of a Dog / Mikhail Bulgakov

Who honors those we love with the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us, and at the same time, things that will never die to comfort us? Who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us? And who holds the key that can set us free? It's you.

The Oresteia / Aeschylus

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom as great. You have no power over me!

Labyrinth / Jim Henson

Now I give praise to the gods, to the happy chance that led me here, to the way I live, and the god's own life that has made me what I am.

The Bacchae / Euripides

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

The Tempest / William Shakespeare

All human wisdom is contained in these two words - Wait and Hope.

The Count of Monte Cristo / Alexandre Dumas

Surface, oh, we never saw a braver fellow! He so good-natured, and so honest! Yes; his is a character in the very pink of integrity and social benevolence!

The School for Scandal / Richard Brinsley Sheridan

What is the point of worrying oneself too much about what one could or could not have done to control the course one's life took? Surely it is enough that the likes of you and I at least try to make our small contribution count for something true and worthy.

Kazuo Ishiguro / The Remains of the Day

The Importance of Dialogue in Literature

 Dialogue is an essential element of storytelling that can bring characters to life and create a sense of intimacy and immediacy between readers and the text. Well-written dialogue can reveal character traits, advance the plot, and convey important information in a natural and engaging way. For example, in J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye," the voice of protagonist Holden Caulfield is defined by his distinctive, colloquial dialogue, which captures the rhythms and idiosyncrasies of teenage speech. Similarly, the witty banter between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" reveals their complex relationship and mutual attraction.
