Kostiantyn’s Quotes

“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

“To, čo k nám prichádza na základe čistej náhody, čistého chaosu a nad čím máme iba pramalú kontrolu, vytvára, akí sme. A to, akí sme, určuje všetky naše kroky, všetko, čo urobíme. Nie naše činy sa k nám vracajú, zvažoval Vokoš, naše činy iba zrkadlia, odrážajú to, čo k nám v živote prišlo. Človek nie je pôvodca, ale následok, obyčajný produkt toho, čo ho postretlo, vytvarovalo, vytvorilo. Človek s celou svojou povahou, myslením a činmi je dôsledkom, nie príčinou.”
― Jozef Karika, Čierny rok: Vojna mafie
