beautiful horse ocean
There are three big things going for The Scorpio Races: first, it is set on a beautiful but wild island in the middle of the cold Atlantic Ocean. That would've seduced me as a teen reader.

At third it involves a very repressed love story with a very Mr. Darcy-like love interest. Maggie Stiefvater

beautiful lonely stars
And it came to me then. That we were wonderful traveling companions but in the end no more than lonely lumps of metal in their own separate orbits. From far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they're nothing more than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere.

In the next instant we'd be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing. Haruki Murakami

Living and dying are, in a sense, of equal value."--Nimit in "Thailand Haruki Murakami

beautiful stars heart
Not just beautiful, though — the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. And they’re watching me. What I’ve up till now, what I’m going to do — they know it all. Nothing gets past their watchful eyes. As I sit there under the shining night sky, again a violent fear takes hold of me. My heart’s pounding a mile a minute, and I can barely breathe. All these millions of stars looking down on me, and I’ve never given them more than a passing thought before. Not just the stars — how many other things haven’t I noticed in the world, things I know nothing about? Haruki Murakami
