    Mikhail Bulgakov
    “След около половин час седяхме в ресторант „Неапол“ до един прозорец пред лекьосана покривка. Приятен блондин шеташе край нас, слагаше на масата някакви мезета, говореше с умалителни, краставиците наричаше „краставички“, хайвера „хайверче, разбирам“, и от него стана толкова топло и уютно, та забравих, че навън е непрогледна мъгла и дори престана да ми се струва, че Ликоспастов е змия.”

    Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
    “He could understand that the creatures, the fish and the owls, should feed and frolic at moon-rise, at moon-down and at south-moon-over, for these were all plain marks to go by, direct and visible. He marvelled, padding on bare feet past the slat-fence of the clearing, that the moon was so strong that when it lay the other side of the earth, the creatures felt it and stirred by the hour it struck. The moon was far away, unseen, and it had power to move them.”

    Christopher Hitchens

    Chuck Dixon
    “I use their expectations against them. That will be their weakness. Not mine. Let them all underestimate me. Let them think they have the upper hand over the little girl. Let them relax while the adrenaline leaks out of their systems. Let them believe they're closing their grips on a shrinking violet. And when their guard is down and their pride is rising... let me kick their butts up around their ears.”

    Mitch Albom
    “I used to think I knew everything. I was a "smart person" who "got things done," and because of that, the higher I climbed, the more I could look down and scoff at what seemed silly or simple, even religion.
    But I realized something as I drove home that night: that I am neither better nor smarter, only luckier. And I should be ashamed of thinking I knew everything, because you can know the whole world and still feel lost in it. So many people are in pain-no matter how smart or accomplished-they cry, they yearn, they hurt.But instead of looking down on things, they look up, which is where I should have been looking, too. Because when the world quiets to the sound of your own breathing, we all want the same things:comfort, love, and a peaceful heart.”
