“You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her, put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting “Vanity,” thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for you own pleasure.”

“Полет на духа, дет’ викаше бача ти Берона… Какъв полет бе, бай Бероне! Полет на духа грам не е останал в тях. То дух няма, че камо ли полет! Заровили са ся кат’ картофи в таз земя, пръст ядат, и умът им все в наденицата. Не щат душа, искат салам. Кат’ картофи заровени. Сякаш че не е человек, а картоф. Кат’ купиш един чувал картофи, кой знай какво ще намериш вътре. И кога пораснат на картофите крила, тогаз и те ще полетят, връз тях!”
― Милен Русков, Възвишение

“Traumatized people chronically feel unsafe inside their bodies: The past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort. Their bodies are constantly bombarded by visceral warning signs, and, in an attempt to control these processes, they often become expert at ignoring their gut feelings and in numbing awareness of what is played out inside. They learn to hide from their selves.” (p.97)”
