“We're so young. We're so young. We're twenty-two years old. We have so much time. There's this sentiment I sometimes sense, creeping in our collective conscious as we lie alone after a party, or pack up our books when we give in and go out - that it is somehow too late. That others are somehow ahead. More accomplished, more specialized. More on the path to somehow saving the world, somehow creating or inventing or improving. That it's too late now to BEGIN a beginning and we must settle for continuance, for commencement.”
― Marina Keegan, The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories

“Skozi življenje gre sam in zapuščen, kdor vedno misli samo nase; kdor pa se zna ljubeče prilagajati in vse stvari srečno zasukati, kdor vedno ve, kje je treba priskočiti na pomoč, in se razdaja drugim, temu je življenje cvetoča livada in še po smrti ostanejo za njim sledovi njegovih del.”
― Alma M. Karlin

“I don't know a better preparation for life than love of poetry and a good digestion”

“Kako nenavadno je, ko se ozreš nazaj na življenje. Ko neko stvar doživljaš, se ti zdi vse tako veliko, ko pa se ozreš nazaj, je vse tako majhno. Če ne bi imeli srca, ki meri ure, bi si lahko mislili, da smo presanjali celo življenje.”
― Alma M. Karlin
