“All these years I thought a piece of my life was missing. But it was there all along. It was there when I sat beside you in your car and you began to drive. It was there when I sang backwards and you laughed or I made a picnic and you ate every crumb. It was there when you told me you liked my brown suit, when you opened the door for me, when you asked once if I would like to take the long road home. It came later in my garden. When I looked at the sun and saw it glow on my hands. When a rosebud appeared where there had not been one before. It was in the people who stopped and talked of this and that over the garden wall. And just when I thought my life was done, it came time and time again at the hospice. It has been everywhere, my happiness – when my mother sang for me to dance, when my father took my hand to keep me safe – but it was such a small, plain thing that I mistook it for something ordinary and failed to see. We expect our happiness to come with a sign and bells, but it doesn’t.”
― Rachel Joyce, The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy

“- Децата ни гледат през цялото време... те те виждат какъв си наистина. Ти мислиш как ще им четеш приказки, каква музика ще им пускаш... Как ще им се посветиш. Ама не става така. В крайна сметка нямаш време за никакво специално отношение. Те са си като част от живота ти, като всичко останало. И с тях ти си си какъвто си си. Те са свидетели на твоята истинска същност, а не Господ. Те те гледат непрекъснато, а не Господ. Те те изкушават, те те предизвикват да се ядосаш и да станеш лош... и да ги удариш. Ако се поддадеш и ги удариш? Ако съгрешиш? И ги превърнеш в лоши деца... и си продължил злото в живота... на още едно поколение. Те са ти Божието наказание и Божието опрощение. Ако си добър и забравиш себе си и своя яд, и не ги удариш... ако се отдадеш безкористно на децата си, те са твоето опрощение в тоя живот. Не Бог. Те са твоят Бог.
”
― Георги Илиев

“You begin to forget what it means to live. You forget things. You forget that you used to feel all right. You forget what it means to feel all right because you feel like shit all the time, and you can't remember what it was like before. People take the feeling of full for granted. They take for granted the feeling of steadiness, of hands that do not shake, heads that do not ache, throats not raw with bile and small rips of fingernails forced to haste to the gag spot. Stomachs that do not begin to wake up in the night, calves and thighs knotting in muscles that are beginning to eat away at themselves. they may or may not be awakened at night by their own inexplicable sobs.”
― Marya Hornbacher, Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia

“He looked at me with the tired, ignorant, slightly stupid expression that is so common in people who aren't used to seeing the broader picture in small things.”
― Jonas Karlsson , The Room

“Когато си на дъното на пъкъла,
когато си най-тъжен, най-злочест,
от парещите въглени на мъката
си направи сам стълба и излез.

Когато от безпътица премазан си
и си зазидан в четири стени,
от всички свои пътища прерязани
нов път си направи и пак тръгни.

Светът когато мръкне пред очите ти
и притъмнява в тези две очи,
сам слънце си създай и от лъчите му
с последния до него се качи.

Трънлив и сляп е на живота ребусът,
на кръст разпъва нашите души.
Загубил всичко, не загубвай себе си –
единствено така ще го решиш!”
― Дамян Дамянов

“It's a little embarrassing that after 45 years of research & study, the best advice I can give people is to be a little kinder to each other.”
― Aldous Huxley

“If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.”
― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
