“Ce sunt aripile? Terminațiile ascuțite și umede ale unui mecanism de zbor bine întocmit, vârâte în crăpătura membranei chitinoase. Aripa, eliberată din strânsoare, se întinde printr-o mișcare lungă, lină, se desface zvântându-se în aer, și iat-o pregătită pentru o primă zbatere. Cu o rețea de nervuri ca la libelulă sau membranoasă ca la fluturi, cu un desen al nervației complicat și desăvârșit, veche de când lumea și incapabilă să se plieze sau foarte nouă și pliindu-se rapid și sigur... Își ia zborul ființa înaripată lăsând pe pământ învelișul de chitină, sicriul ei gol și aerul nou îi umple plămânii noi, și o muzică nouă îi răsună în organul auzului, nou și perfecr alcătuit.”
Ludmila Uliţkaia

Ivan Klíma
“Rubbish is immortal, it pervades the air, swells up in water, dissolves, rots, disintegrates, changes into gas, into smoke, into soot, it travels across the world and gradually engulfs it. (...) Rubbish is like death. What else is there that is so indestructible?”
Ivan Klíma, Love and Garbage

Gabriel García Márquez
“You people have a religion of death that fills you with the joy and courage to confront it,' he said. 'I do not: I believe the only essential thing is to be alive.”
Gabriel García Márquez, Of Love and Other Demons

Lyudmila Ulitskaya
“He had understood long ago that the past was no better than the present. That was as plain as day. One had to try to escape, to wrestle free from every era, so as not to be devoured by it.”
Ludmila Uliţkaia, The Big Green Tent

Tadeusz Konwicki
“But in all that suffering, the most painful suffering of all was the consciousness that it was banal, had all been discovered a long time ago, and was known to all the generations past, all just a repeated series, stamped out by our genes, That the universe was filled to its edges groans as alike as two notes, that those particular groans formed one great groan similar to the shrill parliament of the sparrows and that groan became an interstellar roar, the inaudible groan of the aging cosmos.”
Tadeusz Konwicki, A Minor Apocalypse
