“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”
― Charles Bukowski, What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire

“Trebalo bi ubijati prošlost sa svakim danom što se ugasi. Izbrisati je da ne postoji, da ne boli. Lakše bi se podnosio dan što traje, ne bi se merio onim što više ne postoji. Ovako se mešaju utvare i život, pa nema ni čistog sećanja, ni čistog života.”
― Meša Selimović, Death and the Dervish

“Oft expectation fails, and most oft there where most it promises; and oft it hits where hope is coldest, and despair most fits.”
― William Shakespeare

“Boliš me. Ne preboliš me. Razboliš me.
Razbolim te. Mrzim te. Ne prebolim te.
Gorim te. A ogoliš me. Goriš me. A ogolim te.
Volim te. Stvorim. Oborim. Ne volim. Volim te.”
― Miroslav Mika Antić
