Jonas Mekas
“And I sit here alone and far from you and it’s night and I’m reflecting on everything all around me and I am thinking of you. I saw it in your eyes, in your love, you too are swinging towards the depths of your own being in longer and longer circles. I saw happiness and pain in your eyes and reflections of the paradises lost and regained and lost again, that terrible loneliness and happiness, yes, and I reflect upon this and I think about you.
(from As I Was Moving Ahead I Occasionally Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty, 2000)”
Jonas Mekas

Hermann Hesse
“I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend

Alan W. Watts
“Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.”
Alan Watts

Χρήστος Βακαλόπουλος
“Η ζωή έχει νόημα. Μας αρέσει όμως να το μεταμφιέζουμε και τότε λέμε ότι το παράγουμε. Αν πιστέψουμε όμως ότι παράγουμε νόημα, πρέπει, εκτός απ’την παραγωγή, να χρησιμοποιήσουμε κι άλλους οικονομικούς όρους, όπως δάνειο, πληθωρισμός, ποσοστά κτλ. Τότε όμως θα γίνουμε ανόητοι, θα μιλάμε σαν να βρισκόμαστε σε χορό μεταμφιεσμένων. Ας δεχτούμε καλύτερα ότι το νόημα αναβλύζει από κρυφές πηγές και το μεταφέρουν ρυάκια που περνάνε δίπλα μας, κάνοντας ελάχιστο θόρυβο. Πρέπει να σκύψουμε και να πάρουμε λίγο νερό, το πολύ πολύ να κατασκευάσουμε μερικά αυλάκια. Αυτό είναι όλο κι όλο το έργο μας.”
Christos Vakalopoulos, Οι πτυχιούχοι

James Baldwin
“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”
James Baldwin
