“Ik behoor tot het soort mensen dat niet 'gelukkig' kan zijn : ziek van altijddurende onrust, ziek van altijddurende angst, het liefst versuft door pillen, het liefst stomdronken, het liefst slapend, het liefst afwezig.”
― Jeroen Brouwers, Bezonken rood

“Human beings are millions of things in one day.”
― Nick Hornby, A Long Way Down

“Almost always when I told someone I was writing a book about "eating animals", they assumed, even without knowing anything about my views, that it was a case for vegetarianism.

― Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals
