“Our life is made up of time; our days are measured in hours, our pay measured by those hours, our knowledge is measured by years. We grab a few quick minutes in our busy day to have a coffee break. We rush back to our desks, we watch the clock, we live by appointments. And yet your time eventually runs out and you wonder in your heart of hearts if those seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years and decades were being spent the best way they possibly could. In other words, if you could change anything, would you?”

“Latvija ir kā šampanieša pudele, kura ilgi – ko domājat? – septiņi simti gadu – gulējusi tumšā pagrabā un kuru piepeši attaisījis neuzmanīgais Laiks. Daudz ir izgājis griestos un daudz uz grīdas, bet traukā vēl pietiek, lai mēs noreibtu, jo vīns ir vecs un labs.Kārlis Skalbe”
