Joseph Brodsky
“Still, winter is an abstract season: it is low on colors, even in Italy, and big on the imperatives of cold and brief daylight. These things train your eye on the outside with an intensity greater than that of the electric bulb availing you of your own features in the evening. If this season doesn't necessarily quell your nerves, it still subordinates them to your instincts; beauty at low temperatures is beauty.”
Joseph Brodsky

“Ведь если можно с кем-то жизнь делить,
то кто же с нами нашу смерть разделит?”
Joseph Brodsky, Остановка в пустыне

Hanya Yanagihara
“It is also then that I wish I believed in some sort of life after life, that in another universe, maybe on a small red planet where we have not legs but tails, where we paddle through the atmosphere like seals, where the air itself is sustenance, composed of trillions of molecules of protein and sugar and all one has to do is open one's mouth and inhale in order to remain alive and healthy, maybe you two are there together, floating through the climate. Or maybe he is closer still: maybe he is that gray cat that has begun to sit outside our neighbor's house, purring when I reach out my hand to it; maybe he is that new puppy I see tugging at the end of my other neighbor's leash; maybe he is that toddler I saw running through the square a few months ago, shrieking with joy, his parents huffing after him; maybe he is that flower that suddenly bloomed on the rhododendron bush I thought had died long ago; maybe he is that cloud, that wave, that rain, that mist. It isn't only that he died, or how he died; it is what he died believing. And so I try to be kind to everything I see, and in everything I see, I see him.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Françoise Gilot
“Подавляющее большинство людей лишено способности творить, изобретать. По словам Гегеля, знать они могут только то, что уже знают. Как же учить их чему-то новому? Нужно смешивать известное им с неизвестным. Тогда, смутно завидя в собственном тумане нечто знакомое, они думают: «Ага, вот это я узнаю». Отсюда всего один шаг до «Ага, я узнаю всю вещь целиком». Затем их разум устремляется к неизвестному, они начинают познавать то, чего до сих пор не знали, и развивать свои умственные способности.”
Françoise Gilot, Life with Picasso

John Carreyrou
“When the officer asked what he’d taken, Sunny blurted out in his accented English, “He stole property in his mind.”
John Carreyrou, Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup
