Umberto Eco
“Vrijheid', 'dictatuur', mijn god, ik las die woorden op dat moment voor de eerste keer in mijn leven. Dankzij de nieuwe woorden werd ik als vrij, westers mens geboren.

We moeten ervoor oppassen dat de betekenis van die woorden niet opnieuw vergeten wordt.”
Umberto Eco, Hoe herken ik een fascist

James Baldwin
“...love brought you here. If you trusted love this far, don't panic now.”
James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk

James Baldwin
“The poor are always crossing the Sahara. And the lawyers and bondsmen and all that crowd circle around the poor, exactly like vultures. Of course, they’re not any richer than the poor, really, that’s why they’ve turned into vultures, scavengers, indecent garbage men, and I’m talking about the black cats, too, who, in so many ways, are worse.”
James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk

Leonard Cohen
“Fare thee well my nightingale
I lived but to be near you
Though you are singing somewhere still
I can no longer hear you”
Leonard Cohen, The Flame

Cormac McCarthy
“His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West
