“Krótkie życie nie powinno nas paraliżować, przeciwnie - chronić przed powierzchownością i chaosem naszej egzystencji. Zadaniem śmierci jest zmuszenie człowieka do czegoś istotnego.”
― Sven Lindqvist, Exterminate all the brutes

“I hated museums, and libraries, and any kind of historic building. I loathed old things, whose flawless, polished form had been impeccably preserved. I hated things that endured without breaking, that accrued value through aging. The longer I lived, the more my body collapsed into an ever more aberrant shape. It wasn’t collapsing into death. Rather, it collapsed so as to live, collapsed as a testament to all the time I’d withstood.”
― Saou Ichikawa, Hunchback

“Z europejskiej perspektywy wszystko, co się tam wydarzyło, działo się zbyt daleko, by mogło zostać nazwane wojną światową. Świat leży przecież w Europie.”
― Sven Lindqvist, A History of Bombing

“Yes, all those able-bodied people didn’t know how good they had it. They could make erudite-sounding pronouncements about how they just liked the smell of books, or the feel of the paper, or the sense of tension that came from the thickness of the remaining pages reducing beneath their fingers, and others would listen unquestioningly to what they were saying.”
― Saou Ichikawa, Hunchback
