“Myślisz o Celtach Slowianach Awarach zasiedleniach językach izoglosach etymologiach indoeuropejskich ugrofińskich substratach nie dlatego, że zaraziła cię tym twoja matka, myślisz, ponieważ łudzisz się, że dostrzeżesz w tym jakiś sens i porządek, bo jesteś głupi i nie wiesz, że dostrzec go nie mógłbyś, nawet gdyby ten porządek tam był, ale go tam nie ma i nie dostrzeżesz go tym bardziej, chociażbyś oczy nad tymi książkami wypatrzył, mój miły, nic nie zobaczysz.
Ale pożądasz tego porządku, mój miły, jak niczego innego; bo gdyby był, to byłby również sens i twoje istnienie mogłoby mieć ten sens, mimo pęknięcia i pustki, którą niesiesz w sobie.”
― Szczepan Twardoch, Morfina

“If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend

“Love must not entreat,' she added, 'or demand. Love must have the strength to become certain within itself. Then it ceases merely to be attracted and begins to attract.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend

“Nothing, nothing mattered, and I knew why. So did he. Throughout the whole absurd life I'd lived, a dark wind had been rising toward me from somewhere deep in my future, across years that were still to come, and as it passed, this wind leveled whatever was offered to me at the time, in years no more real than the ones I was living. What did other people's deaths or a mother's love matter to me; what did his God or the lives people choose or the fate they think they elect matter to me when we're all elected by the same fate, me and billions of privileged people like him who also called themselves my brothers? Couldn't he see, couldn't he see that? Everybody was privileged. There were only privileged people. The others would all be condemned one day. And he would be condemned, too.”
― Albert Camus, The Stranger
