Quotes by Borislav Pekić  (?)

“Plan je O. K. Samo ga se događaji zbog nečeg ne drže.”
Borislav Pekić, Besnilo

“Ne voli čovek jednog pisca samo zato što ga zabavlja, ili ga pred dileme stavlja, nego što ponekad slučajnošću otvara put njegovim sopstvenim idejama.
Pomaže mu da se izrazi, sam sebe razume, aktivira mentalno.
To može biti i suprotstavljanjem i prihvatanjem.
U svakom slučaju, posredi je nemušti dijalog.
Čitanje mojih knjiga zamišljam kao razgovor sa mnom, ne kao puko slušanje.”
Borislav Pekić

“Mora samo paziti da se prokleta stvarnost na mala vrata tzv. autentičnosti ne uvuče u njega i inhibira maštu. Jer mašta je sve. Stvarnost, ako je uopšte ima, ništa. U najboljem slučaju, proizvod uspelog maštanja.”
Borislav Pekić, Besnilo
