“Listen! The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves,
We have had our summer evenings, now for October eves!”
― Humbert Wolfe

“Tis in ourselves that we are thus
or thus. Our bodies are our gardens, to the which
our wills are gardeners: so that if we will plant
nettles, or sow lettuce, set hyssop and weed up
thyme, supply it with one gender of herbs, or
distract it with many, either to have it sterile
with idleness, or manured with industry, why, the
power and corrigible authority of this lies in our
wills. If the balance of our lives had not one
scale of reason to poise another of sensuality, the
blood and baseness of our natures would conduct us
to most preposterous conclusions: but we have
reason to cool our raging motions, our carnal
stings, our unbitted lusts, whereof I take this that
you call love to be a sect or scion.”
― William Shakespeare, Othello

“Партията шах е изгубена още при нареждането на фигурите, още преди първия ход. Такива са правилата на играта. Раждаме се от губещата страна на дъската. Нямаме много възможности срещу страховете си, срещу скоростта, с която нещата чезнат, срещу смъртта. Сякаш наистина с всяка една история откупуваме правото си на още една нощ, и още една нощ, поне до хиляда и първата.”
― Георги Господинов, Невидимите кризи

“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
