“I do not sculpt and paint to make the world sacred. I sculpt and paint to give permanence to my feelings about how terrible the world truly is. Nothing is real to me except my own feelings; nothing is true except my own feelings as I see them all around me in my sculptures and paintings. I know these feelings are true, because if they were not true they would make art that is as terrible as the world.”
― Chaim Potok, My Name Is Asher Lev

“The places we have known do not belong solely to the world of space in which we situate them for our greater convenience. They were only a thin slice among contiguous impressions which formed our life at that time; the memory of a certain image is but regret for a certain moment; and houses, roads, avenues are as fleeting, alas, as the years.”
― Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

“Целта на човек е знанието, но той не знае едно. Ще го спаси ли това знание, или ще го погуби. Той неизбежно ще загине, но няма да узнае какво го е погубило - дали знанието, което е овладял, или знанието, което му е липсвало и което би го спасило, ако беше го овладял.”
― Robert Penn Warren, All the King's Men

“Krasivaya. It means beautiful, but with strength. Unique.”
― Ruta Sepetys, Between Shades of Gray
