“If understand you could separate causes from results, if you could know that Paine, Marx, Jefferson, Lenin, were results, not causes, you might survive. But that you cannot know. For the quality of owning freezes you forever into "I" and cuts you off forever from the "we.”
― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

“მოვლენის ზუსტი განსაზღვრება და სახელდება უბრალო ილუზიაა, რამეთუ მოუქნელი და ღარიბია ადამიანის მეტყველება და ის კი არაა საქმე, აქაოდა სიტყვები არ გვყოფნის, მაგალითად სიყვარულის განსამარტადო, არამედ ის, რომ სიტყვები თავზე საყრელად გვაქვს, აი, სიყვარული კი - არა.”
― José Saramago, The Gospel According to Jesus Christ

“Not "brook" [in German: Bach], but "sea" should he [Johann Sebastian Bach] be called because of his infinite, inexhaustible richness in tone combinations and harmonies.

(Nicht Bach! Meer sollte er heissen: wegen seines unendlichen, unerschoepflichen Reichtums an Tonkombinationen und Harmonien.)”
― Ludwig van Beethoven
