“Even in a personal sense, after all, art is an intensified life. By art one is more deeply satisfied and more rapidly used up. It engraves on the countenance of its servant the traces of imaginary and intellectual adventures, and even if he has outwardly existed in cloistral tranquility, it leads in the long term to overfastidiousness, over-refinement, nervous fatigue and overstimulation, such as can seldom result from a life of the most extravagant passions and pleasures.”
― Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Tales

“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!”
― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

“Često je teže oprostiti se s nečijom prošlošću nego s osobom iz sadašnjosti koju smo prestali voljeti. I kad ljubav prestane, prošlost se još opire i pravi probleme.”
― Zoran Ferić, Kalendar Maja

“„Pokrio se njenim truplom kao dekom, da se ne smrzne u pustoši koju je ostavila za sobom.”
― Zoran Ferić, Kalendar Maja
