“And I think about all the things we could be
if we were never told our bodies were not built for them.”
― The Poet X

“Велике заблуде живе на малим заблудама, велики тирани на малим тиранима, велики хероји на малим херојима, велика историја на малој. У ствари, сине мој, све је велико и све подједнако значајно: свако најамње херојство, свака најмања жртва може бити исто тако значајна као француска револуција или Христово страдање, као што рушење једне сићушне заблуде може бити једнако по значају рушењу Бастиље. У питању је само спољашња размера, а човек страда и пати у сваком случају подједнако.”

“THE VOICE OF SALOME:
Ah! I have kissed thy mouth, Iokanaan, I have kissed thy mouth. There was a bitter taste on thy lips. Was it the taste of blood?... Nay; but perchance it was the taste of love... They say that love hath a bitter taste... But what matter? What matter? I have kissed thy mouth, Iokanaan, I have kissed thy mouth.”
― Salomé

“I always want to be somewhere else, in the place I have just fled from. In recent years this condition has, if anything, become worse: I go to and from Vienna at diminishing intervals, and from Nathal I will often go to some other big city, to Venice or Rome and back, or to Prague and back. The truth is that I am happy only when I am sitting in the car, between the place I have just left and the place I am driving to. I am happy only when I am traveling; when I arrive, no matter where, I am suddenly the unhappiest person imaginable. Basically I am one of those people who cannot bear to be anywhere and are happy only between places.”
