“Коли б робити було так само легко, як і знати, що саме треба робити, то каплички стали б церквами, а халупи бідарів — королівськими палацами.

If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches and poor men's cottages princes' palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.”
― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

“People see what they wish to see. And in most cases, what they are told that they see.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

“The best books... are those that tell you what you know already.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“I opened the door and blinked out into the bright hall. I had the impression it wasn't night and it wasn't day, but some lurid third interval that had suddenly slipped between them and would never end.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
