“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“Есть я, нет меня, сражаюсь я, лежу на диване — никакой разницы. Ничего нельзя изменить, ничего нельзя исправить. Можно только устроиться — лучше или хуже. Все идёт само по себе, а я здесь ни при чем. Вот оно — ваше понимание, и больше понимать мне нечего… Вы мне лучше скажите, что я с этим пониманием должен делать?”
― Arkady Strugatsky, Град обреченный
