“Ние сме онова, което прави от нас любовта.
Срещне те стар познат и се провикне: - Какво става с тебе? Не мога да те позная!
Ние сме онова, което кара другите да кажат: - Не си ти!
Ние сме онова, което кара самите нас да се изплашим: - Какво става с мене? Не мога да се позная!
Всичко онова, което ни сковава в собствени граници, не сме ние.
Ние сме, когато станем своята противоположност.
Когато се изскубнем от верижката и изненадаме себе си.
Ние сме онова, което прави от нас любовта.”
― Blaga Dimitrova, Лавина

“Да се чувстваш нужен. Въпреки всичко. Да бързаш занякъде, да носиш нещо, да вярваш, че те чакат, че без тебе не могат, че се взират в далечината идеш ли.
Да изненадаш света с някакво откритие. Но аз нищо не носех освен едно опетнено име.
Никой не ме чакаше, никой не гледаше жадно към пътя, да се задам, не броеше минутите.
Скоростта, с която летях, се превърна в сух, безплоден вятър.
Скорост, скорост към нищото,опустошителна като суховей.
Целият ти досегашен живот пробягва мълнийно пред очите ти.
Искаш да се вкопчиш в нещо, да се задържиш на ръба на пропастта.
Не е възможно да бъдеш излишен на тоя свят.
И последният човек е нужен някъде, някому, за нещо.”
― Blaga Dimitrova, Пътуване към себе си

“Без любов от днес нататък ще живея.
Независима от телефон и случай.
Няма да боли. И няма да копнея.
Ставам вързан вятър и замръзнал ручей.
Няма да съм бледна подир нощ безсънна -
но и няма да ми запламти лицето.
Няма вдън земя от мъка да потъна -
но и няма да политна към небето.
Няма да съм лоша - но и няма вече
жест като безкраен хоризонт да сторя.
Няма да ми притъмнява - но далече
няма да ми се отваря цял простора.
Няма вечерта да чакам изтомена -
но и утрото за мен не ще изгрява.
Няма от слова да зъзна вкочанена -
но и няма да изгарям над жарава.
Няма да заплача на жестоко рамо -
но и няма от сърце да се засмея.
Няма да умирам аз от поглед само -
но и всъщност няма вече да живея.”
― Blaga Dimitrova

“Вечер угасне електричеството.Обгърне ме благодетелна тъмнина.Все едно че съм сама.Никой не ме вижда.Дори мога да плача.Какво блаженство!Да плачеш,без да те питат защо плачеш,без да те утешават.Но за такова щастие се изисква тренировка:да плачеш,без да издадеш никакъв звук,и да си готов да отговориш на внезапен въпрос с най-невинен глас:”Четката е на етажерката!”
― Блага Димитрова, Пътуване към себе си

“Само една любов признавам на тоя свят - да обичаш независимо от това, обичат ли те, носят ли ти сигурност, подкрепят ли те, като че ли си недоразвито същество и се нуждаеш от патерици. Независимо от това, изгодно или не, благоразумно или не. Да обичаш, защото обичаш. Това е единственото основание.”
― Blaga Dimitrova, Отклонение

“Изведнъж присъствието му запълва нищото и го превръща във всичко.”

“Трябва да се научиш да се браниш от стръмното! Гледаш: скала, препречена пред тебе, и спираш. А не знаеш, че скалата е също път. И то най-прекият и най-щедрият - ще те възнагради за усилието с най-красивата гледка, невидена от никого!”
― Blaga Dimitrova, Лавина

“And it was not darkness, but light—light, bright and pure as the sun on snow, that erupted from Asterin.
Light, as Asterin made the Yielding.
As the Thirteen, their broken bodies scattered around the tower in a near-circle, made the Yielding as well.
Light. They all burned with it. Radiated it.
Light that flowed from their souls, their fierce hearts as they gave themselves over to that power. Became incandescent with it.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

“Live, Manon. Live.”

“For it was also said the Prince Of Hearts was not capable of love because his heart had stopped beating long ago. Only one person could make it beat again: his one true love. They said his kiss had been fatal to all but her - his only weakness - and as he’d sought her, he’d let a trail of corpses.”
― Stephanie Garber, Legendary

“When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely, Liz. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings.”

“When I was alive, I believed — as you do — that time was at least as real and solid as myself, and probably more so. I said 'one o'clock' as though I could see it, and 'Monday' as though I could find it on the map; and I let myself be hurried along from minute to minute, day to day, year to year, as though I were actually moving from one place to another. Like everyone else, I lived in a house bricked up with seconds and minutes, weekends and New Year's Days, and I never went outside until I died, because there was no other door. Now I know that I could have walked through the walls. (...) You can strike your own time, and start the count anywhere. When you understand that — then any time at all will be the right time for you.”
― Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
― Roald Dahl

“We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infintesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality. We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is. We are sick with a fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.”
― Alan Wilson Watts

“What we have forgotten is that thoughts and words are conventions, and that it is fatal to take conventions too seriously. A convention is a social convenience, as, for example, money ... but it is absurd to take money too seriously, to confuse it with real wealth ... In somewhat the same way, thoughts, ideas and words are "coins" for real things.”
― Alan Wilson Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety
