“Undergraduates today can select from a swathe of identity studies.... The shortcoming of all these para-academic programs is not that they concentrate on a given ethnic or geographical minority; it is that they encourage members of that minority to study themselves - thereby simultaneously negating the goals of a liberal education and reinforcing the sectarian and ghetto mentalities they purport to undermine.”
― Tony Judt, The Memory Chalet

“Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives.”
― Maurice Chevalier

“Moja obsesija je bila, da moramo imeti revolucijo, ki ni podobna francoski ali ruski, temveč prej ameriški, v smislu, da je revolucija za nekaj, ne proti nečemu. Revolucija za ustavo, ne za raj. Antiutopična revolucija, saj utopije vodijo do giljotine in gulaga”
― Adam Michnik

“I manage because I have to. Because I've no other way out. Because I've overcome the vanity and pride of being different, I've understood that they are a pitiful defense against being different. Because I've understood that the sun shines differently when something changes. The sun shines differently, but it will continue to shine, and jumping at it with a hoe isn't going to do anything.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish
