    Todor Bombov
    “This book was under arrest, along with its author. This event occurred on March 27, 1986. During that time, the totalitarian system in East Europe was called socialism and even by the scientific nonsense and absurd names of Communism and Communist system. In this system, the official ideology was allegedly Marxism, but really it could not endure any Marxist criticism. Since this “socialist” system was afraid of the weapon of criticism, it applied criticism of the weapon against its own citizens, as Marx would have said.”

    “Canadians are fond of a good disaster, especially if it has ice, water, or snow in it. You thought the national flag was about a leaf, didn't you? Look harder. It's where someone got axed in the snow.”

    Shel Silverstein
    “Are wild strawberries really wild?
    Will they scratch an adult, will they snap at a child?

    Should you pet them, or let them run free where they roam?
    Could they ever relax in a steam-heated home?

    Can they be trained to not growl at the guests?
    Will a litterbox work or would they make a mess?

    Can we make them a Cowberry, herding the cows,
    or maybe a Muleberry pulling the plows,
    or maybe a Huntberry chasing the grouse,
    or maybe a Watchberry guarding the house,

    and though they may curl up at your feet oh so sweetly
    can you ever feel that you trust them completely?

    Or should we make a pet out of something less scary,
    like the Domestic Prune or the Imported Cherry,

    Anyhow, you've been warned and I will not be blamed
    if your Wild Strawberries cannot be tamed.”
    ― Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends

    Yevgeny Zamyatin
    “… true literature can exist only where it is created not by diligent and trustworthy officials, but by madmen, hermits, heretics, dreamers, rebels and sceptics. But when a writer must be sensible and rigidly orthodox, when he must make himself useful today, when he cannot lash out at everyone like Swift or smile at everything like Anatole France, there can be no bronze literature, there can only be a paper literature, a newspaper literature, which is read today and used for wrapping soap tomorrow.” – Yevgeny Zamyatin.”
