“Dar ir dabar pasijuntu besvarstąs: o gal aš jos nė nemylėjau? Gal mudu abu tik plykstelėjom kaip nuogi laidai, aklai susilietę tamsoje, sukibirkščiavom - ir viskas, vėl akla tamsa?.. Gal.”
― Jurgis Kunčinas

“Galimybė nusižudyti yra likimo dovana, kurią mes retai tesuvokiame. Ji suteikia laisvo apsisprendimo iliuziją. Ko gero, mes žudomės kur kas dažniau, negu manome. Tik nejaučiame to.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, The Night in Lisbon

“Laimė - sąlyginis dalykas. Kas šitą suvokė, retai kada jaučiasi labai nelaimingas.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, The Night in Lisbon

“[Patricia Greenfield] concluded that “every medium develops some cognitive skills at the expense of others.” Our growing use of the Net and other screen-based technologies has led to the “widespread and sophisticated development of visual-spatial skills.” We can, for example, rotate objects in our minds better than we used to be able to. But our “new strengths in visual-spatial intelligence” go hand in hand with a weakening of our capacities for the kind of “deep processing” that underpins “mindful knowledge acquisition, inductive analysis, critical thinking, imagination, and reflection.”
