“As much as 1980s America was telling itself that
things were looking up, all was not well. Not by coincidence did the
American small town, the epitome of the conservative vision of the nation,
become the prime setting for 1980s horror fiction: a sunny, cheerful place of
white picket fences and apple pie where something would always be really,
really wrong.”
― Steffen Hantke, Horror

“Smreke ob vodi so iz morastih sanj vlekle tiste, ki so jih sanjali.
Smreke ob morasti vodi so bile lovilci sanj, ki so iz sanj vlekli tiste, ki jih niso sanjali.
Mora, mora, kakšna mora.
Poroženeli prsti smrekastih sanj.
Kaj vse je požrl ogenj, kateri ogenj.
Smreke so bile skeleti smrek.
Njihova struktura jasno vidna zainteresiranemu očesu.
Smreke so bile gozd in niso videle samih sebe zaradi gozda.
Kaj se je zgodilo drvarjem, ki so šli mednje.
Kaj se je zgodilo gobarjem, ki so šli mednje.
Poroženel travnik, poroženelo rastje, ki ni raslo navzgor, ampak vase. Poroženele smreke, njihovi trnovi listi.
Nekoč je šla v gozd zeliščarica, in smreke so si iz nje pripravile gostijo.
Nekoč je šel v gozd smrek drvar, in kdo je zdaj posekal koga.
Nekoč so se smrečne veje staknile in postavile mejo med tukaj in zdaj in tam in potem.”
― Jernej Županič, Mamuti

“But at other times, I sit here reading in the afternoon, a myrtle in my buttonhole, and there are such beautiful passages in the book that I think I have become beautiful myself.”
― Lydia Davis, Varieties of Disturbance

“It is man who kills, man who creates or suffers injustice; it is no longer man who, having lost all restraint, shares his bed with a corpse. Whoever waits for his neighbor to die in order to take his piece of bread is, albeit guiltless, further from the model of
thinking man than the most primitive pigmy or the most vicious sadist".”
― Primo Levi, If This Is a Man / The Truce
