Daniel Keyes
“Что важнее, расширять кругозор или демонстрировать чувства? Может, даже сам вопрос неверный, потому что у тебя чувств нет. Вероятно, если подавить их и жить исключительно логикой, можно стать выдающимся полезным человеком, но ты останешься одинок и будешь никому не нужен.”
Daniel Keyes, The Minds of Billy Milligan

Hunter S. Thompson
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

Umberto Eco
“It seems that the Parisian Oulipo group has recently constructed a matrix of all possible murder-story situations and has found that there is still to be written a book in which the murderer is the reader.

Moral: there exist obsessive ideas, they are never personal; books talk among themselves, and any true detection should prove that we are the guilty party.”
Umberto Eco, Postscript to the Name of the Rose

Azar Nafisi
“Could one really concentrate on one’s job when what preoccupied the faculty was how to excise the word wine from a Hemingway story, when they decided not to teach Brontë because she appeared to condone adultery?”
Azar Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books

Todd Burpo
“¿Qué es la humildad infantil? No es falta de inteligencia, sino falta de maña, falta de intereses ocultos. Es esa preciosa y efímera etapa antes de haber acumulado suficiente orgullo o actitud como para que nos importe lo que piensan los demás. Es la misma honestidad genuina que hace que un niño de tres años pueda chapotear alegremente en un charco de lluvia, revolcarse en el césped como un cachorrito mientras ríe a carcajadas o decir en voz muy alta que tienes un moco colgando de la nariz, la que se necesita para entrar en el cielo. Es lo opuesto a la ignorancia. Es honestidad intelectual: es estar dispuesto a aceptar la realidad aun cuando es difícil y llamar a las cosas por su nombre.”
Todd Burpo, Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back
