“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

“Може би изобщо не съществуват добри и лоши приятели. Може би просто има приятели, хора, които се застъпват за теб, когато страдаш, и ти помагат да не си толкова самотен. Може би заради тях си струва да се боиш, да се надяваш, да живееш. И дори да умреш ако трябва. Няма добри приятели. Няма лоши приятели. Има само хора, с които желаеш да бъдеш, не можеш да не бъдеш; хора, които изграждат дома си в сърцето ти.”
― Stephen King

“A Dream Within A Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?”
― Edgar Allen Poe, The Complete Stories and Poems
