“Ако не четете този текст, той не съществува. И това е първото чудо на четенето. Всяка книга, която стои затворена в библиотеката, е като онова спящо царство от приказката. Ако отвориш книгата и зачетеш малко, царството оживява. Има някаква магия, която се получава от срещата на поглед и буква. От тази целувка между окото и написаното чудото се случва. Първото, което искам ти кажа, лично и тихо, е, че имаш да събуждаш толкова много книги от съня им. Приеми го така, между нас казано, като малък подвиг. Ти си тази, която събужда книги. Ти си този, който събужда книги. А събуждащият книги събужда светове.”
― Георги Господинов, Невидимите кризи

“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”

“O you, who in some pretty boat,
Eager to listen, have been following
Behind my ship, that singing sails along

Turn back to look again upon your own shores;
Tempt not the deep, lest unawares,
In losing me, you yourselves might be lost.

The sea I sail has never yet been passed;
Minerva breathes, and pilots me Apollo,
And Muses nine point out to me the Bears.

You other few who have neck uplifted
Betimes to the bread of angels upon Which one lives and does not grow sated,

Well may you launch your vessel
Upon the deep sea.”
― Dante Alighieri, Paradise
