“Life is a waste of time, and time is a waste of life. Get wasted all the time, and you'll have the time of your life!”
― Billy Connolly

“I don’t know: perhaps it’s a dream, all a dream. (That would surprise me.) I’ll wake, in the silence, and never sleep again. (It will be I?) Or dream (dream again), dream of a silence, a dream silence, full of murmurs (I don’t know, that’s all words), never wake (all words, there’s nothing else).

You must go on, that’s all I know.

They’re going to stop, I know that well: I can feel it. They’re going to abandon me. It will be the silence, for a moment (a good few moments). Or it will be mine? The lasting one, that didn’t last, that still lasts? It will be I?

You must go on.

I can’t go on.

You must go on.

I’ll go on. You must say words, as long as there are any - until they find me, until they say me. (Strange pain, strange sin!) You must go on. Perhaps it’s done already. Perhaps they have said me already. Perhaps they have carried me to the threshold of my story, before the door that opens on my story. (That would surprise me, if it opens.)

It will be I? It will be the silence, where I am? I don’t know, I’ll never know: in the silence you don’t know.

You must go on.

I can’t go on.

I’ll go on.”
― Samuel Beckett, The Unnamable

“Интелектът е като краката - прекаленото количество се превръща в липса на качество.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent

“Приходя не радуйся, уходя не грусти.”
― Arkady Strugatsky, Град обреченный

“Two is company, four is a party, three is a crowd. One is a wanderer.”
― James Thurber

“It was never the right time or it was always the right time, depending on how you looked at it.”
― Ann Patchett, Bel Canto

“If I got rid of my demons, I’d lose my angels.”
― Tennessee Williams, Conversations With Tennessee Williams

“Ветрея се във прясна скръб. Широка, позитивна, маниашка. Нещо като късен декаданс. Нещо като евъргрийн.”
― Елин Рахнев

“Падна чудна лятна нощ, прохладна и свежа. Безкрайното Тракийско поле потъна в мрака, сякаш изчезна, и се предаде на дълбока почивка под монотонния напев на жаби и щурци. Мир и ведрина повея от дълбокото звездно небе. Земята отвори страстните си гърди и замря в наслада.”
― Елин Пелин, Разкази

“Because I always feel like running
Not away, because there is no such place
Because if there was, I would have found it by now
Because it's easier to run,
Easier than staying and finding out you're the only one who didn't run
Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described,
As in "the long run"
Or as in having "given someone a run for his money"
Or as in "running out of time"
Because running makes me look like everyone else, though I hope there will never be cause for that
Because I will be running in the other direction, not running for cover
Because if I knew where cover was, I would stay there and never have to run for it
Not running for my life, because I have to be running for something of more value to be running and not in fear
Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from,
Not without showing the fear as I see it now
Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer
Because of you and because of that nice
That you quietly, quickly be causing
And because you're going to see me run soon and because you're going to know why I'm running then
You'll know then
Because I'm not going to tell you now”
― Gil Scott-Heron, Now and Then...
