Book cover for Fima: A Novel
Suddenly he felt disgusted with his linguistic niceties. Gulping down thick slices of bread and jam, sipping his second coffee, he said to himself: When the whole planet has been destroyed by atom bombs or hydrogen bombs, what difference ...more

“Разкажи ми за снега- каза Муминтрол и се отпусна в татковия избелял от слънцето градински стол.- Просто не мога да го проумея.
Нито пък аз- увери го Тоо-тики. - Мислиш си, че е студен, а като направиш от него снежна къща, става топъл. Мислиш си, че е бял, а понякога става розов и друг път- син. Може да е най-мекото от всички неща, но може и да е по-твърд от камък. Нищо не е сигурно.”
Tove Jansson, Moominland Midwinter

“Понякога, когато съм в библиотеката, си мисля за милионите посредствени книги, за купищата натрупани познания - вече отживели или погрешни, които занапред могат да трупат едиснтвено прахоляк... Мисля си за милионите съпруги, които са принуждавали милиони деца да мълчат, за да могат мъжете да напишат тези книги (Шшт! Татко работи!), и си казвам, че в края на краищата истинската загуба на време често е била самото писане. Нямаше ли да е по-добре за всички, ако тези мъже бяха играли с децата си?”
Nancy Huston, Journal de la création

“If you`re wondering how you`ll find time, it means you don`t really want to read. Because nobody`s ever got time. Children certainly haven`t, nor have teenagers or grown-ups. Life always gets in the way. <...>
Time to read is always time stolen. <...>
Stolen from what?
From the tyranny of living.”- p.125”
Daniel Pennac

“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”
Michael Cunningham, The Hours

Daniel Pennac
“We human beings build houses because we're alive but we write books because we're mortal. We live in groups because we're sociable but we read because we know we're alone. Reading offers a kind of companionship that takes no one's place but that no one can replace either. It offers no definitive explanation of our destiny but links us inextricably to life. Its tiny secret links remind us of how paradoxically happy we are to be alive while illuminating how tragically absurd life is.”
Daniel Pennac
