“You can't own a human being. You can't lose what you don't own. Suppose you did own him. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? You really want somebody like that? Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don't, do you? And neither does he. You're turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can't value you more than you value yourself.”
― Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon

“Književnost, uostalom, u životu zajednice igra onu istu ulogu koju u životu pojedinca igra san: ona razrađuje potisnute motive, ona iskušava neiskušane mogućnosti, ona živi za nas neke druge živote.”
― Pavao Pavličić, Knjiški moljac: 99 uputa što sve treba znati o knjigama

“For now he knew what Shalimar knew: If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it.”

“In racing, they say that your car goes where your eyes go. The driver who cannot tear his eyes away from the wall as he spins out of control will meet that wall; the driver who looks down the track as he feels his tires break free will regain control of his vehicle.”
― Garth Stein, The Art of Racing in the Rain
