Gérard de Nerval
“Το όνειρο είναι μια δεύτερη ζωή. Δεν κατόρθωσα να διασχίσω αυτές τις πύλες από φίλντισι ή κέρας που μας χωρίζουν απ' τον αόρατο κόσμο χωρίς ν' αναρριγήσω. Οι πρώτες στιγμές του ύπνου είναι η εικόνα του θανάτου, μια νεφελώδης νάρκη αιχμαλωτίζει τη σκέψη μας, και δεν μπορούμε να προσδιορίσουμε με ακρίβεια τη στιγμή που το εγώ, υπό άλλη μορφή , συνεχίζει το έργο της ύπαρξης. Πρόκειται για έναν ακαθόριστο υπόγειο χώρο ο οποίος φωτίζεται σιγά σιγά, και όπου βγαίνουν απ' την σκια και τη νύχτα οι επιβλητικά ακίνητες χλομές μορφές, που κατοικούν στο ενδιαίτημα του Καθαρτηρίου. Έπειτα σχηματίζεται ο πίνακας, μία νέα λάμψη καταυγάζει και κάνει αυτές τις αλλόκοτες οπτασίες να σαλέψουν: - μας ανοίγεται ο κόσμος των Πνευμάτων.”
Gérard de Nerval, Αυρηλία

“…η σφοδρή επιθυμία για γνώση μπορεί να γίνει η αιτία να ξεχάσετε το γεγονός ότι η σοφία δεν αποκτάται από το άκουσμα των λόγων των άλλων αλλά από την ανάπτυξη των εσωτερικών ικανοτήτων.”
Cajzoran Ali, Οι Θείες Στάσεις Και Η Επίδρασή Τους Επί Των Ενδοκρινών Αδένων

Elena Ferrante
“Πόσο ζυγίζει ένα σώμα που από μέσα του έχει περάσει ο θάνατος, η ζωή είναι ελαφριά, δεν πρέπει να αφήνουμε κανένα να μας τη βαραίνει.”
Elena Ferrante, The Days of Abandonment

Morrissey
“Nature always waits in the wings and the winds, ready to pounce with all of its power just at that sloppily contented hour when you foolishly assume it to be plainly tired out. Narcissistic humans do their quite pathetic best to kill nature off, oblivious to their self-reliance on its upkeep, yet nature will only take so much bureaucratic bullying before it snaps a deadly snap - for it does not need your approval, your organised banditry, your prepubescent social laws, your trades of cheapening commerce, your militant preachment, your apologies or blind belief of superiority... as if a presidential seat gives you an intolerable presumption of dominance over this earth's terrain!”
Morrissey

Virginia Woolf
“Oh and I thought, as i was dressing, how interesting it would be to describe the approach of age, and the gradual coming of death. As people describe love. To note every symptom of failure: but why failure? To treat age as an experience that is different from the others; and to detect every one of the gradual stages towards death which is a tremendous experience, an not as unconscious, at least in its approaches, as death is.”
Virginia Woolf, A Writer's Diary
