“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa

“Alas," said the mouse, "the whole world is growing smaller every day. At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad when I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I must run into."
"You only need to change your direction," said the cat, and ate it up.”
― Franz Kafka

“...Дълго време едничката ми цел в живота бе да се саморазрушавам. И ето че веднъж ми се прииска щастие. Ужасно е, срам ме е, простете ми, но един ден изпаднах в плен на вулгарното изкушение да бъда щастлив. По-късно разбрах, че това е най-добрият начин да се саморазрушиш.”
― Frederick Beigbeder, L'amour dure trois ans

“It was true that I didn’t have much ambition, but there ought to be a place for people without ambition, I mean a better place than the one usually reserved. How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?”
― Charles Bukowski, Factotum

“There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death. They don't honor their own lives, they piss on their lives. They shit them away. Dumb fuckers. They concentrate too much on fucking, movies, money, family, fucking. Their minds are full of cotton. They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them. Their brains are stuffed with cotton. They look ugly, they talk ugly, they walk ugly. Play them the great music of the centuries and they can't hear it. Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die.”
― Charles Bukowski

“Според мен повечето хора живеят в измислен свят. Аз не правя изключение. То е нещо като трансмисията в автомобила. На човека е нужна такава трансмисия между него и суровата действителност. Когато светът те притиска с цялата си тежест, ти използваш лоста, за да превключиш на скорост, която ще ти позволи да понесеш тази тежест. Така запазваш крехкото си тяло.”
― Харуки Мураками

“Номерът е на какво ще наблегнеш - каза той. - Ние или сами се правим нещастни, или се правим силни. Обемът на работата е един и същ." Пътят към Икстлан - Карлос Кастанеда”
― Carlos Castaneda

“Love...no such thing.

Whatever it is that binds families and married couples together, that's not love. That's stupidity or selfishness or fear. Love doesn't exist.

Self interest exists, attachment based on personal gain exists, complacency exists. But not love. Love has to be reinvented, that’s certain.”
― Arthur Rimbaud, A Season in Hell and The Drunken Boat

“I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.”
― Fitzgerald F. Scott, The Great Gatsby

“Раят
е винаги другаде
в рая
са винаги другите
другаде
раят е другаде
друг
ад
е”
― Георги Господинов, Балади и разпади

“The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.”
― Virginia Woolf
