Gérard de Nerval
“Για μας όμως, που έχουμε γεννηθεί σε μέρες επαναστάσεων και καταιγίδων, όπου έχουν γίνει θρύψαλα όλα τα πιστεύω - για μας που το πολύ πολύ μεγαλώσαμε μ' αυτήν την αόριστη πίστη που αρκείται σε ορισμένους εξωτερικούς τύπους και που η αδιάφορη προσχώρηση σ' αυτήν είναι ίσως περισσότερο ένοχη απ' την ασέβεια και την αίρεση, - είναι πολύ δύσκολο, όταν αισθανόμαστε την ανάγκη της, να ανοικοδομήσουμε το μυστηριακό οικοδόμημα που οι αθώοι και οι απλοί έχουν βαθιά χαραγμένη τη μορφή του στις καρδιές τους. "Το δέντρο της γνώσεως δεν είναι το δέντρο της ζωής!" Παρ' όλ' αυτά, μπορούμε άραγε ν' αποβάλουμε από το πνεύμα μας ό,τι καλό ή ολέθριο έχουν ενσταλλάξει σ' αυτό τόσες ευφυείς γενεές; Η άγνοια δεν διδάσκεται.”
Gérard de Nerval, Αυρηλία

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

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

“Τρώμε, κοιμόμαστε, ζούμε και παίζουμε βιαστικά και πεθαίνουμε με ακόμα μεγαλύτερη βιασύνη.”
Cajzoran Ali, Οι Θείες Στάσεις Και Η Επίδρασή Τους Επί Των Ενδοκρινών Αδένων

W.G. Sebald
“Because (in principle) things outlast us, they know more about us than we know about them: they carry the experiences they have had with us inside them and are - in fact- the book of our history opened before us.”
W.G.Sebald
