Umberto Eco
“Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community ... but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It's the invasion of the idiots”
Umberto Eco

Spalding Gray
“It could drive you mad to wake up to the fact that your whole life has been about chasing some false goal.”
Spalding Gray, Impossible Vacation

Leo Tolstoy
“A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.”
Leo Tolstoy, Семейное счастие

Joseph Conrad
“Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put it's trust in life!”
Joseph Conrad, Victory

Omar Khayyám
“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”
Omar Khayyám
