“I’m disgusted with how people get themselves to look beautiful; I’m much more fascinated with the other side.”
― Cindy Sherman

“How contrary an animal is man, who most treasures what he refuses or abandons! The soldier who has chosen war for his profession in the midst of battle longs for peace, and in the security of peace hungers for the clash of sword and the chaos of the bloody field; the slave who sets himself against his unchosen servitude and by his industry purchases his freedom, then binds himself to a patron more cruel and demanding than his master was; the lover who abandons his mistress lives thereafter in his dream of her imagined perfection.”
― John Williams, Augustus

“Να σου γλείψω τα χέρια, να σου γλείψω τα πόδια –
η αγάπη κερδίζεται με την υποταγή.
Δεν ξέρω πως αντιλαμβάνεσαι εσύ τον έρωτα.
Δεν είναι μόνο μούσκεμα χειλιών,
φυτέματα αγκαλιασμάτων στις μασχάλες,
συσκότιση παραπόνου,
παρηγοριά σπασμών.
Είναι προπάντων επαλήθευση της μοναξιάς μας,
όταν επιχειρούμε να κουρνιάσουμε σε δυσκολοκατάχτητο κορμί.”
― Ντίνος Χριστιανόπουλος

“Do you ever read any of the books you burn?"
He laughed. "That's against the law!"
"Oh. Of course.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
