Leave me alone!’ She rushed to the door and tore it open and vanished down the hotel stairs.”

“Egy dolog, amikor az ember arról beszél, hogy szeretne egyedül lenni, nagy horderejű tetteket véghezvinni, de más tál tészta, amikor a lehetőség megadatik. A könyvekben, amiket olvasott, a hősök szemmel láthatólag minden aggodalom nélkül vágtak neki a nagyvilágnak, de a valóságban – nos, a világ egy veszélyes hely. Mindig ezt mondták neki. És hogy segítség nélkül nem boldogulna. Ezt is mindig elmondták. Soha senki nem részletezte, hogy mi az, amivel nem boldogulna. De nem kellett megkérdeznie. A képzeletében ott sorakoztak a borzalmak.”

As long as James Brown was selling records he let that craziness run. He didn't care. The media worked in his favor and helped fuel his success. But it killed his public reputation and once the success was gone once the head disappeared, the body followed.”
― James McBride, Kill 'Em and Leave: Searching for James Brown and the American Soul

“За какво служи изкуството? За да ни даде кратка, но блестяща илюзия за камелия, отваряйки във времето емоционална пукнатина, която не може да се сведе до животинската логика. Как се ражда изкуството? От способността на ума да извайва областта на чувствата. Какво прави изкуството за нас? То оформя и придава видимост на емоциите ни и заедно с това им поставя печата на вечността, който носят всички творби, съумели чрез особена форма да въплътят всеобщността на човешките афекти.”
― Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog
