Amélie Nothomb
“Нещастието си има и добрите страни: вкъщи вече разполагах със стаята си и с правото да чета. Никога не бях чела толкова, колкото в този период: поглъщах книгите както за да компенсирам дългото нечетене, така и за да мога да посрещна приближаващата криза. Тези, които смятат, че четенето е бягство, са много далеч от истината: да четеш, означава да се сблъскаш с реалността в най-концентрирания й вид, което, колкото и да е странно, е по-малко ужасяващо от това да си имаш работа с размитите й форми.”
Amélie Nothomb, Antichrista

Romain Gary
“Не знам дали хората достатъчно ясно осъзнават огромното значение, което едно събитие може да придобие, когато има опасност да не се състои.”
Romain Gary, Gros-Câlin

Jonathan Franzen
“Stupidity mistook itself for intelligence, whereas intelligence knew its own stupidity.”
Jonathan Franzen, Purity

Romain Gary
“Мисля, че в мен има някаква развейпрахщина - все още ми се ще да бъда щастлив.”
Ромен Гари, Clair de femme

Matt Haig
“THE WORLD IS increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.”
Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive
