Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I hate it that Americans are taught to fear some books and some ideas as though they were diseases.”
― Kurt Vonnegut

Gustave Flaubert
“Do not read as children do to enjoy themselves, or, as the ambitious do to educate themselves. No, read to live.”
― Gustave Flaubert

Krzysztof Kieślowski
“I don’t like myself very much, so i try not to observe myself too often. I made a documentary once entitled Talking Heads. I asked people two questions: “Who are you” and “What do you want?” Afterwards, I asked myself those questions. I realized that I didn’t have any answers. I don’t know who I am, and I don’t know what I want. If anything, I’d like some peace and quiet, but I’ve never achieved it, and I probably never will. So I will never have what I really want.”
― Krzysztof Kieslowski

Jean-Paul Sartre
“Do you think that I count the days? There is only one day left, always starting over: it is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre

Gustav Mahler
“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire”
― Gustav Mahler
