László Krasznahorkai
“Irimiás: God is not made manifest in language, you dope. He's not manifest in anything. He doesn't exist... God was a mistake. I've long understood there is zero difference between me and a bug, or a bug and a river, or a river and a voice shouting above it. There's no sense or meaning in anything. It's nothing but a network of dependency under enormous fluctuating pressures. It's only our imaginations, not our senses, that continually confront us with failure and the false belief that we can raise ourselves by our own bootstraps from the miserable pulp of delay. There's no escaping that, stupid.”
László Krasznahorkai, Satantango

Patti Smith
“Where does it all lead? What will become of us? These were our young questions, and young answers were revealed. It leads to each other. We become ourselves.”
Patti Smith, Just Kids

George Orwell
“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.”
George Orwell

Mikhail Shishkin
“Sufletul este ultimul lucru indivizibil, ca un atom. Între atomi e mereu un interval. “Dacă atomii s-ar atinge, atunci ei ar fi divizibili, dar, prin definiţie, ei sunt indivizibili: dar se pot atinge numai prin anumite părţi ale lor.” Adică trupurile se pot atinge, dar între suflete va fi mereu un interval, un loc pustiu.”
Mihail Siskin, Scrisorar

John Steinbeck
“Then it don't matter. I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build - I'll be there, too. - Tom Joad”
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
