“When you think things are bad,
when you feel sour and blue,
when you start to get mad...
you should do what I do!

Some people are much more...
oh, ever so much more...
oh, muchly much-much more
unlucky than you!”
― Dr. Seuss, Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?

― C. JoyBell C.

“You took my heart and you held it in your mouth
And, with a word all my love came rushing out
And, every whisper, it's the worst, emptied out by a single word
There is a hollow in me now...

And
Every whisper, every sigh
Eats away at this heart of mine
And there is a hollow in me now.

So I put my faith in something unknown
I'm living on such sweet nothing
But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold
I'm living on such sweet nothing.”
― Florence Welch Calvin Harris

“Манол тихо му отговори:

– Сине, ти си виждал крепост. Светът е разделен от огромна крепостна стена. От край до край. Вътре в крепостта седят хора, а отвън налита злото. Всеки човек стои между два зъбера и пази една крачка стена. Не зная, може да има големи хора, пълководци, които пазят сто зъбера. Може да има един голям пълководец, който знае какво става по цялата стена. Аз виждам моята крачка. И зная, че трябва нея да защитавам. Ако аз не я защитя, кой ще я защити? И ти трябва да се биеш. Всеки пред себе си. Не знаеш какво става наоколо, в съседната крачка. Не виждаш. Гледаш само пред себе си и удряш ръцете и лицата на злите хора, които искат да се изкачат на стената. Може би тъкмо при твоята врата злото се надява да пробие. Ти трябва да се биеш и нито за миг да не отстъпваш от зъбера си, да не се утешаваш, че след миг ще се върнеш на него. Мръднеш ли, злото ще влезе. И когато умреш, твоето тяло да запречи вратите между двата зъбера.

Тъмницата мълчеше.

Тогава оттатък детският глас запита:

– Татко, какво е зло?

Мълчание. И после – Маноловият глас:

– Зло е това, което разделя хората.

И след малко:

– Добрите хора.

Станах и си отидох. Манол ми отговори.

Отдясно камък, отляво камък и по средата – ти. Да, на вратата е застанал всеки от нас, всеки пази врата, през която може да влезе злото. Аз бях опразнил своята и сега се връщах на нея.”
― Антон Дончев, Време разделно

“Към родината

Не съм те никога избирал на земята.
Родих се просто в теб на юнски ден във зноя.
Аз те обичам не защото си богата,
а само за това, че си родина моя.

И българин съм не заради твойта слава
и твойте подвизи и твойта бранна сила,
а зарад туй, че съм безсилен да забравя
за ослепените бойци на Самуила.

Да търси, който ще, във теб сполука бърза
и почести и власт със страст една и съща,
страданието мен по-силно с теб ме свързва
и нашата любов в една съдба превръща.”
― Атанас Далчев
