Frederick Douglass
“The silver trump of freedom roused in my soul eternal wakefulness.”
Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass

Fynn
“Да обичаш всички, както обичаш себе си, а за това трябва първо да си пълен със себе си, за да обичаш истински.”
Fynn, Mister God, This is Anna

D.H. Lawrence
“For {she} had adopted the standard of the young: what there was in the moment was everything. And moments followed one another without necessarily belonging to one another.”
D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley’s Lover
tags: youth

Thomas Keneally
“Oskar knew people would catch that trolley anyhow. Doors closed, no stops, machine guns on walls—it wouldn’t matter. Humans were incurable that way. People would try to get off it, someone’s loyal Polish maid with a parcel of sausage. And people would try to get on, some fast-moving athletic young man like Leopold Pfefferberg with a pocketful of diamonds or Occupation złoty or a message in code for the partisans. People responded to any slim chance, even if it was an outside one, its doors locked shut, moving fast between mute walls.”
Thomas Keneally, Schindler’s List

Ursula Hegi
“Some acts of faith, I believe, have the power to grant us something infinitely wiser than we imagine”
Ursula Hegi, Floating in My Mother's Palm
