“Každá moc, aj tá najmenšia, existuje iba vo svojich prejavoch; prežíva, len ak sa neustále potvrdzuje. A čím je moc väčšia, tým viac potvrdzovania vyžaduje – v banalitách alebo v dôležitých veciach, na tom až tak nezáleží.”
― Jozef Karika, Čierny rok: Vojna mafie

“It would of course be a shame to get too old. There’s no virtue in living too long. Living shouldn’t become a habit.”
― Percival Everett, Erasure

“The words are meaningless except in terms of feeling. Does anyone act as the result of thought or does feeling stimulate action and sometimes thought implement it?”
― John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent

“In fact, had it been given to our eyes of the flesh to gaze into the consciences of others, we should be able to judge a man much more surely according to what he dreams, than according to what he thinks. There is will in thought, there is none in dreams. Reverie, which is utterly spontaneous, takes and keeps, even in the gigantic and the ideal, the form of our spirit. Nothing proceeds more directly and more sincerely from the very depth of our soul, than our unpremeditated and boundless aspirations towards the splendors of destiny. In these aspirations, much more than in deliberate, rational co-ordinated ideas, is the real character of a man to be found. Our chimæras are the things which the most resemble us. Each one of us dreams of the unknown and the impossible in accordance with his nature.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
