“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”

“Life will throw everything but the kitchen sink in your path, and then it will throw the kitchen sink. It's your job to avoid the obstacles. If you let them stop you or distract you, you're not doing your job, and failing to do your job will cause regrets that paralyze you more than a bad back.”

“This is the kind of life I've had. Drunk, and in charge of a bicycle, as an Irish police report once put it. Drunk with life, that is, and not knowing where off to next. But you're on your way before dawn. And the trip? Exactly one half terror, exactly one half exhilaration.”

“Твърде често фантастиката се възприема като бягство от действителността. Аз обаче твърдя обратното – тя е ВРЪЩАНЕ към реалността. Въпросната реалност постоянно атакува сетивата ни, получава се притъпяване на усещането за събития, явления, тенденции. Затова, когато фантастът поставя пред читателя нов поглед към миналото, когато го потапя в проблемите на бъдещето, тогава съзнанието се рестартира, погледът към действителността се освежава. То е все едно да видиш града, в който живееш, от планински връх. Дреболиите се сливат, окото обхваща панорамно, мисълта се изтръгва от всекидневната рутина, започва по-ясно да различава кое е съществено ТУК и СЕГА, а кое - преходно, мимолетно... и не си струва да се хабиш за него.”
― Николай Теллалов

“You don't stop running because you get old, you get old because you stop running.”
― Christopher McDougall, Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen
