― Димитър Талев, Железният светилник

“Yet, if the world were bettered by
My death or story left untold,
I would condemn myself to die
For misdemeanours manifold:

Alive or dead, in either case:
A man so needy never rolled
A mountain from its resting place.”
― Francois Villon, Poems of Francois Villon

“The problems we face today eventually turn into blessings in the rearview mirror of life. In time, yesterday’s red light leads us to a greenlight. All destruction eventually leads to construction, all death eventually leads to birth, all pain eventually leads to pleasure. In this life or the next, what goes down will come up. It’s a matter of how we see the challenge in front of us and how we engage with it. Persist, pivot, or concede. It’s up to us, our choice every time.”
― Matthew McConaughey, Greenlights
