“If a hand, a situation, a wave were ever to raise me up and carry me to where I could command power and influence, I would destroy the circumstances that had favoured me, and I would hurl myself down into the humble, speechless, insignificant darkness. I can only breathe in the lower regions.”
― Robert Walser, Jakob von Gunten

“Във вестниците, които обработвах преди време пишеше, че unfriend е думата на 2009 ...Разприятелявам се ... С времето приятелите изчезват по различен начин. Някои внезапно, все едно никога не ги е имало. Други постепенно, с неудобство, извинително ... Спират да звънят. Първо не разбираш. После започваш да проверяваш дали не ти е паднала батерията на телефона. Остра липса в 5 следобед. В началото трае близо час, после по-малко. Но никога не изчезва.”
― Георги Господинов, Физика на тъгата

“I certainly believe we all suffer damage, one way or another. How could we not,except in a world of perfect parents, siblings, neighbours, companions? And then there is the question on which so much depends, of how we react to the damage: whether we admit it or repress it,and how this affects our dealings with others.Some admit the damage, and try to mitigate it;some spend their lives trying to help others who are damaged; and there are those whose main concern is to avoid further damage to themselves, at whatever cost. And those are the ones who are ruthless, and the ones to be careful of.”
― Julian Barnes , The Sense of an Ending

“Has the dark shadow really disappeared?
Or is it inside me, concealed, waiting for its chance to reappear?
Like a clever thief hidden inside a house, breathing quietly, waiting until everyone’s asleep. I have looked deep inside myself, trying to detect something that might be there. But just as our consciousness is a maze, so too is our body. Everywhere you turn there’s darkness, and a blind spot. Everywhere you find silent hints, everywhere a surprise is waiting for you.”
― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
