Mindy Kaling
“Another old saying is that revenge is a dish best served cold. But it feels best served piping hot, straight out of the oven of outrage. My opinion? Take care of revenge right away.”
Mindy Kaling, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

Neil Gaiman
“My father had found a local baker's shop where they made thick loaves of heavy brown bread, and he insisted on buying them. He said they tasted better, which was, to my mind, nonsense. Proper bread was white, and pre-sliced, and tasted like almost nothing: that was the point.”
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Saara Turunen
“Olen saanut tarpeekseni. Olen kyllästynyt tähän vanhojen kalsareiden hajuun joka nurkassa. Jos itse saisin päättää klassikoiden kaanonin, päättäisin toisella tavalla. Niinpä lupaan itselleni, etten kuluttaisi enää aikaani sellaisiin teoksiin, joissa ei olisi mitään minulle. En lukisi niitä, en katsoisi niitä teattereissa enkä elokuvissa. En kirjoittaisi niistä enkä mainitsisi niitä keskusteluissa. Päätän, etten viittaisi elämäni aikana enää yhteenkään sikamiehen teokseen. Koko muu maailma viittaisi niihin joka tapauksessa, joten minun huomiotani ne eivät saisi. Tästä lähtien keskittyisin vain taiteeseen, jossa naisella olisi jokin muukin tarkoitus kuin olla tyttöystävä, seurata vierestä miehen touhuja ja kysellä vähän väliä, että mitä sinä nyt oikein taas meinaat, etkö tulisi jo kotiin, oletko tullut hulluksi ja ovatko kaikki rahat menneet.”
Saara Turunen, Sivuhenkilö

Mindy Kaling
“Teenage girls, please don’t worry about being super popular in high school, or being the best actress in high school, or the best athlete. Not only do people not care about any of that the second you graduate, but when you get older, if you reference your successes in high school too much, it actually makes you look kind of pitiful, like some babbling old Tennessee Williams character with nothing else going on in her current life. What I’ve noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. For us overlooked kids, it’s so wonderfully fair.”
Mindy Kaling, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

Harper Lee
“Atticus, you must be wrong."

"How's that?"

"Well, most folks seem to think they're right and you're wrong. . ."

"They're certainly entitled to think that, and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions," said Atticus, "but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.”
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
