Ivan Goncharov
“Мне хотелось путешествовать неофициально, не приехать и "осматривать", а жить и смотреть на всё, не насилуя наблюдательности; не задавая себе утомительных уроков осматривать ежедневно, с гидом в руках, по стольку-то улиц, музеев, зданий, церквей. От такого путешествия остаётся в голове хаос улиц, памятников, да и то ненадолго. Вообще, большая ошибка - стараться собирать впечатления; соберёшь чего не надо, а что надо, то ускользнёт.
Если путешествуешь не для специальной цели, нужно, чтобы впечатления нежданно и незванно сами собирались в душу; а к кому они так не ходят, тот лучше не путшествуй.”
Иван Гончаров, The frigate Pallada

Thomas Mann
“Space, like time, engenders forgetfulness; but it does so by setting us bodily free from our surroundings and giving us back our primitive, unattached state ... Time, we say, is Lethe; but change of air is a similar draught, and, if it works less thoroughly, does so more quickly.”
Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain

Mo Willems
“If you ever find yourself in the wrong story, leave.”
Mo Willems, Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs

Neil Gaiman
“Go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here.”
Neil Gaiman, Make Good Art

Dave Eggers
“The flash opened up into something larger, an even more blasphemous notion that her brain contained too much. That the volume of information, of data, of judgments, of measurements, was too much, and there were too many people, and too many desires of too many people, and too many opinions of too many people, and too much pain from too many people, and having all of it constantly collated, collected, added and aggregated, and presented to her as if that all made it tidier and more manageable--it was too much.”
Dave Eggers, The Circle
