“What we are experiencing is experiential poverty. Such poverty may not only be about a lack of experiences, where nothing is happening. An abundance of activities can also create a feeling of experiential poverty. And this last point is interesting. Things just get to be too much. the problem, according to Lars Fr. H. Svendsen, is that we carry on seeking "increasingly more powerful experiences" instead of pausing to breathe deeply, shut out the world and use the time to experience ourselves. The idea that boredom can be avoided by constantly pursuing something new, being available around the clock, sending messages and clicking further, watching something you haven't yet seen, is naive. The more you try to avoid boredom, the more bored you become. Routine is like that too... Busying oneself becomes a goal in and of itself, instead of allowing that same restlessness to lead you somewhere further.”

“Само една любов признавам на тоя свят - да обичаш независимо от това, обичат ли те, носят ли ти сигурност, подкрепят ли те, като че ли си недоразвито същество и се нуждаеш от патерици. Независимо от това, изгодно или не, благоразумно или не. Да обичаш, защото обичаш. Това е единственото основание.”
― Blaga Dimitrova, Отклонение
