“Феномен шістдесятництва визрівав саме в цьому постійному спілкуванні – спілкуванні молодих талантів, які жадали знань. Шістдесятництво, ще навіть саме себе не усвідомлюючи як опозиційний рух чи «новий етап визвольних змагань», формувалося поступово – на вечірках в Алли Горської, під час нічних розмов у кімнаті на Білоруській, у безкінечних дискусіях в помешканні Світличних чи в постійних поїздках Україною. Молодих людей єднали захоплення українською історією і щира симпатія один до одного. Щоденне спілкування, яке на перший погляд могло б видатись цілком буденним, зрештою спонукало до постійного самовдосконалення. І це стало чи не найголовнішим чинником кристалізації феномена шістдесятництва.”

“The purpose of art is subversion. Art is telling the world how it's killing you. How its institutions have failed you. In the end, any culture worth damn is made by subversives. Because art is what tells the world it needs to change. Power merely redecorates it.”

“I believe, then, that the characteristic or moral elements of Gothic are the following, placed in the order of their importance:
1. Savageness.
2. Changefulness.
3. Naturalism.
4. Grotesqueness.
5. Rigidity.
6. Redundance.
These characters are here expressed as belonging to the building; as belonging to the builder, they would be expressed thus: - 1. Savageness or Rudeness. 2. Love of Change. 3. Love of Nature. 4. Disturbed Imagination. 5. Obstinacy. 6. Generosity. And I repeat, that the withdrawal of any one, or any two, will not at once destroy the Gothic character of a building, but the removal of a majority of them will. I shall proceed to examine them in their order.”

“Вы спрабавалі калі-небудзь спаць седзячы, прыціснуўшы спіну да мура або, лепей, да дрэва? Паспрабуйце. Вы пераканаецеся, што пачуццё падзення, якое вы часам адчуваеце, лежачы пад цёплай коўдрай, ёсць шостае пачуццё, што перайшло нам у спадчыну ад продка нашага, малпы, што яно было ёй неабходна, каб не ўпасці з дрэва. І, седзячы ля дрэва, вы ў сне будзеце падаць вельмі часта, і адкрываць вочы, і зноў засынаць. І нарэшце дзіўныя сны авалодаюць вашай душой, знікне мільён год чалавечага існавання, і вам здасца, што пад дрэвам дапатопны мамант ідзе на вадапой і вочы пячорнага мядзведзя гараць з-пад скалы.”
