“Ja! - Teška riječ, koja u očima onih pred kojima je kazana određuje naše mjesto, kobno i nepromjenjivo, često daleko ispred ili iza onog što mi o sebi znamo, izvan naše volje i izvan naših snaga. Strašna riječ koja nas, jednom izgovorena, zauvijek vezuje i poistovjećuje sa svim onim što smo zamislili i rekli i sa čim nikad nismo ni pomišljali da se poistovjetimo, a u stvari smo, u sebi, već odavno jedno.”
― Ivo Andrić, Prokleta avlija

“In everybody’s life there’s a point of no return. And in a very few cases, a point where you can’t go forward anymore. And when we reach that point, all we can do is quietly accept the fact. That’s how we survive.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Time weighs down on you like an old, ambiguous dream. You keep on moving, trying to sleep through it. But even if you go to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to escape it. Still, you have to go there- to the edge of the world. There's something you can't do unless you get there.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“But what seems like a reasonable distance to one person might feel too far to somebody else.”
― Haruki Murakami, After Dark
