“Recette pour aller mieux. Répéter souvent ces trois phrases : le bonheur n'existe pas. L'amour est impossible. Rien n'est grave.”
― Frédéric Beigbeder, L'amour dure trois ans

“...Дълго време едничката ми цел в живота бе да се саморазрушавам. И ето че веднъж ми се прииска щастие. Ужасно е, срам ме е, простете ми, но един ден изпаднах в плен на вулгарното изкушение да бъда щастлив. По-късно разбрах, че това е най-добрият начин да се саморазрушиш.”
― Frederick Beigbeder, L'amour dure trois ans

“Вземайти всичко, каквото поискате, при условие, че наистина го желаете. Ето как ще разберете. Попитвате се: "Искам ли това нещо от цялото си сърце? Бих ли могъл да преживея този ден без него?" И ако усетите, че без него до залез слънце ще сте се повалили мъртви, грабвате скъпоценното нещо и си го отнасяте с вас.”
― Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

“I've always known that the quality of love was the mind, even though the body sometimes refuses this knowledge. The body lives for itself. It lives only to feed and wait for the night. It's essentially nocturnal. But what of the mind which is born of the sun, William, and must spend thousands of hours of a lifetime awake and aware? Can you balance off the body, that pitiful, selfish thing of night against a whole lifetime of sun and intellect? I don't know. I only know there has been your mind here and my mind here, and the afternoons have been like none I can remember.”
― Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

“Lilacs on a bush are better than orchids. And dandelions and devil grass are better! Why? Because they bend you over and turn you away from all the people in the town for a little while and sweat you and get you down where you remember you got a nose again. And when you’re all to yourself that way, you’re really proud of yourself for a little while; you get to thinking things through, alone. Gardening is the handiest excuse for being a philosopher. Nobody guesses, nobody accuses, nobody knows, but there you are, Plato in the peonies, Socrates force-growing his own hemlock. A man toting a sack of blood manure across his lawn is kin to Atlas letting the world spin easy on his shoulder.”
― Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

“Where would you like to go, what would you really like to do with your life?

See Istanbul, Port Said, Nairobi, Budapest. Write a book. Smoke too many cigarettes. Fall off a cliff but get caught in a tree halfway down. Get shot at a few times in a dark alley on a Morrocan midnight. Love a beautiful woman.”
― Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

“Maybe ever’body in the whole damn world is scared of each other.”
― John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men

“I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

― Gabriel García Márquez

“If I knew that today would be the last time I’d see you, I would hug you tight and pray the Lord be the keeper of your soul. If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I see you, I’d tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already.”
― Gabriel García Márquez

“Във вестниците, които обработвах преди време пишеше, че unfriend е думата на 2009 ...Разприятелявам се ... С времето приятелите изчезват по различен начин. Някои внезапно, все едно никога не ги е имало. Други постепенно, с неудобство, извинително ... Спират да звънят. Първо не разбираш. После започваш да проверяваш дали не ти е паднала батерията на телефона. Остра липса в 5 следобед. В началото трае близо час, после по-малко. Но никога не изчезва.”
― Георги Господинов, Физика на тъгата

“Лабиринтът е нечие вкаменено колебание.

Най-потискащото в лабиринта е това, че непрекъснато си в ситуация на избор. Не липсата на изход, а обилието от "изходи" обърква.”
― Георги Господинов, Физика на тъгата

“Човешките същества обичат да се прегръщат. Ако случайно срещнете оцеляло човешко същество, отваряте широко горните си крайници и леко го обгръщате. Добре е да задържите ръцете си така колкото може повече. На човешкото същество това ще му донесе голямо успокоение. Възможно е да се разплаче с бистра течност от очите. Човешките същества обичат да плачат. Не е страшно, не се умира от това.”
― Георги Господинов, Физика на тъгата
