“Sve ovo izricanje osjećaja nastaje zbog velikog umora, naizgled bez uzroka, koji se danas iznenada spustio na mene. Ne samo da sam umoran nego i ogorčen, a gorčina je također nepoznata. Na rubu sam suza zbog tjeskobe - ne suza što se isplakuju, nego onih koje se zadržavaju, suza zbog bolesti duše, a ne zbog osjetljive boli.”
—Fernando Pessoa

“That’s the whole trouble. You can’t ever find a place that’s nice and peaceful, because there isn’t any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you’re not looking, somebody’ll sneak up and write “Fuck you” right under your nose.”
—J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
“Bila je, eto, moja a da nikad to neće ni znati. U redu. Ali, neće li se to poslije odraziti na njoj, nisam li ja na neki način djelovao na njenu daljnju sudbinu time što sam uvukao njen lik u svoj potajni blud?”
—Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita (via pocket-full-of-stones)
