Erich Maria Remarque
“I’ll tell you the story of the wave and the rock. It’s an old story. Older than we are. Listen. Once upon a time there was a wave who loved a rock in the sea, let us say in the Bay of Capri. The wave foamed and swirled around the rock, she kissed him day and night, she embraced him with her white arms, she sighed and wept and besought him to come to her. She loved him and stormed about him and in that way slowly undermined him, and one day he yielded, completely undermined, and sank into her arms.”
“And suddenly he was no longer a rock to be played with, to be loved, to be dreamed of. He was only a block of stone at the bottom of the sea, drowned in her. The wave felt disappointed and deceived and looked for another rock
“What does that mean? He should have remained a rock.”
“The wave always says that. But things that move are stronger than immovable things. Water is stronger than rocks.”
Erich Maria Remarque, Arch of Triumph: A Novel of a Man Without a Country

Дамян Дамянов
“Интимно

Не ме допускай толкоз близо ти

До себе си, щом искаш да съм влюбен

Ех, вярно е, далечното гнети

но за това пък близкото погубва!

Щом искаш да съм твой, далеч ме дръж —

Далечното е всъщност ореолът.

Една мечта се срива отведнъж

Разбулиш ли я, видиш ли я гола.

Дори една „Мадона“ от Рембранд

Погледната от близичко е грозна

И целия и гений и талант

Е в нейната далечна грациозност.

Дори земята, таз, околовръст,

Която отдалеч е рай вълшебен

Отблизо ти се вижда буца пръст —

Пръст, във която ний сте легнем с тебе…”
Дамян Дамянов

Frida Kahlo
“I am that clumsy human, always loving, loving, loving. And loving. And never leaving.”

“I'll tell you what Freedom is to me. No fear.”

Nina Simone
“I am just one of the people who is sick of the social order, sick of the establishment, sick to my soul of it all. To me, America’s society is nothing but a cancer, and it must be exposed before it can be cured. I am not the doctor to cure it. All I can do is expose the sickness.”
Nina Simone
