I'll never like people who don't like to eat candy. Especially when they call them 'sweets.' I read this story in Memorious about a candy-eater and it coincided so well with the thought in my brains.
Required criteria: to have read Anna Karenina at least once -

I like the scene where Levin sees Kitty ice-skating - "She made everything bright...The spot where she stood seemed to him unapproachable holy ground and there was one moment when he nearly turned away, so filled with awe was he...He walked down, for a long while averting his eyes from her, as though she were the sun, but seeing her, as one sees the sun, without looking."
Ono no Komachi:
How sad,
to think I will end
as only
a pale green mist
drifting the far fields.
