Albert Camus
“Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.”
Albert Camus

Meir Shalev
“האדמה הגסה הזאת, שהורגלה בצחנת עצמות של קדושים ובמדרך רגליהם של צליינים וגייסות, פערה פיה בצחוק למראה החלוצים שנשקו אותה ושפכו עליה את מנחת דמעתם, שבעלו אותה בהתרגשות, נועצים את מעדריהם הזעירים בגופה העצום. שקראו לה אמא, אחות ואשה. יחד עם התלמים הראשונים והזרעים הראשונים, יחד עם ביעור העשב השוטה, יבוש הביצה ובירוא היער, זרענו גם את הכישלון". וכאן נעשה קולו חגיגי והוא הוסיף: "בסופו של דבר יבשנו את הביצות, אבל מתחת להן גילינו בוץ גרוע הרבה יותר. הקשר אל האדמה, ההתמזגות עם הטבע – מה הם אם לא התבהמות ושקיעה. הקמנו דור חדש, לא עוד יהודים תלושים ועלובים, אלא דור של אכרים, הקשורים לאדמתם. מגושמים, אנשי ריב מדון, צרי דעת, עבי עור וגרם.”
Meir Shalev, The Blue Mountain

Alessandro Baricco
“…how it would be nice if, for every sea waiting for us, there would be a river, for us.
And someone -a father, a lover, someone- able to take us by the hand and find that river -imagine it, invent it- and put us on its stream, with the lightness of one only word, goodbye. This, really, would be wonderful. It would be sweet, life, every life. And things wouldn’t hurt, but they would get near taken by stream, one could first shave and then touch them and only finally be touched. Be wounded, also. Die because of them. Doesn’t matter. But everything would be, finally, human. It would be enough someone’s fancy -a father, a lover, someone- could invent a way, here in the middle of the silence, in this land which don’t wanna talk. Clement way, and beautiful.
A way from here to the sea.”
Alessandro Baricco, Ocean Sea

J.D. Salinger
“The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Douglas Adams
“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
