“Nećeš prestati padati kad zaslužiš, nego kad odlučiš. Ako još uvijek vjeruješ u ono prvo, žalim te. Padat ćeš zauvijek i zamjerati svima oko sebe, kao što zamjeraš meni. Sanjaš da padaš jer čekaš što će biti, hoće li itko shvatiti što ti je dužan samo zato što ti padaš. Prestaješ padati kad odučiš. Preuzmi odgovornost za svoj život. Prihvati da imaš izbora.”
― Kristian Novak, Ciganin, ali najljepši

“Šminkanjem bi žene trebale istaknuti karakter i naglasiti ono što jesu. Svakog jutra pred zrcalom crtam svoj portret na licu. I ne mislim da je to maska, iako bi se neki aspekti obrazine mogli priznati. Crtam sebe onakvu kakva želim biti. Ali ja i jesam onakva kakva sam željela biti. Svi smo to, jer: sve što jesmo - izabrali smo biti.”
― Ivana Lovrić Jović, Vidi kako Lokrum pere zube

― Zoran Žmirić, Pacijent iz sobe 19

“Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.”

“A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, Essays and Aphorisms
