Daina Tabūna liked Alise's review of Raganas: "Labi. Jaunībā būtu paticis vairāk / būtu šķitis aktuālāk. Un tomēr šis ir stāstu krājums ar viltīgu aptverošu struktūru nevis romāns."

Daina Tabūna and 1 other person liked monta cine's review of Ams, ams, ams!: "Lasīju kopā ar brāli. Lasījām par tētiem, sailgojāmies pēc mammas. Un viņas apskāvieniem, bešiem un bzdingiem, tieši pēc 'tēta komandējuma' dzejoļa, jo mamma ir 'komandējumā', Ķīnā 😩 "

Quotes by Daina Tabūna (?)

“Dzīve ir rotaļa, dievišķa rotaļa, viņš tonakt teica, un svarīgākais ir rotaļāties; un es iebildu, ka rotaļa tā ir tikai dažiem - atsevišķiem veiksminiekiem, parasti nepelnīti priviliģētiem -, bet vairumam tā ir cīņa.”
― Daina Tabūna, Raganas

“Astoņi ir labs, spēcīgs skaitlis - apgriezta bezgalības zīme, savērpta nulle. Tam piemīt četrinieka stabilitāte, bet ne tā norobežojošās, baismīgās sienas. Astoņi ir dzimšana un nāve, pārdzimšana un celšanās.”
― Daina Tabūna, Raganas

Daina’s Quotes

“People’s lives, in Jubilee as elsewhere, were dull, simple, amazing, and unfathomable – deep caves paved with kitchen linoleum.”

“Do you know what people really want? Everyone, I mean. Everybody in the world is thinking: I wish there was just one other person I could really talk to, who could really understand me, who'd be kind to me. That's what people really want, if they're telling the truth.”
― Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook

“When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.”
― George Bernard Shaw, Getting Married

“Get scared. It will do you good. Smoke a bit, stare blankly at some ceilings, beat your head against some walls, refuse to see some people, paint and write. Get scared some more. Allow your little mind to do nothing but function. Stay inside, go out - I don’t care what you’ll do; but stay scared as hell. You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.”
― Albert Camus
