Nick Hornby
“Because music, like color, or a cloud, is neither intelligent nor unintelligent - it just is. The chord, the simplest building block for even the tritest, silliest chart song, is a beautiful, perfect, mysterious thing, and when an ill-read, uneducated, uncultured, emotionally illiterate boor puts a couple of them together, he has every chance of creating something wonderful and powerful. All I ask of music is that is sounds good.”
Nick Hornby, Songbook

Randy Pausch
“Kada sam ga upitao kada ću umrijeti, on je odgovorio da ću vjerojatno biti prilično zdrav sljedećih tri do šest mjeseci. To me podsjetilo na moje posjete Disneylandu. Kada biste njihove zaposlenike upitali kada se park zatvara oni bi obično odgovorili da je park otvoren do osam navečer.”
Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

Niccolò Machiavelli
“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones. ”
Niccolò Machiavelli

James Dashner
“Several minutes passed. Several more. Nothing but silence and darkness.
"I think they're gone," Brenda whispered. She flicked on her torch.
"Hello, noses!" a hideous voice yelled from the room.
Then a bloody hand reached through the doorway and grabbed Thomas by the shirt.”
James Dashner, The Scorch Trials

Jack Kerouac
“An awful realization that I have been fooling myself all my life thinking there was a next thing to do to keep the show going and actually I'm just a sick clown and so is everybody else...”
Jack Kerouac, Big Sur
