“To su zapravo sve pločice dječijih igračaka, religija, božićnih bedastoća, idila koje uznse KULT ČISTE LAŽI, a iza svega toga proviruje roba: kupujte margarin, čokoladu, naranče, vaniliju, sukno, gumilje! Ljudi su izmislili tapete, sagove, parkete, cijevi s ugrijanom vodom, staklena vrata, zlatne ribice, kaktuse i čitave izloge knjiga po svojim stanovima, koje nitko ne čita. Ljudi su nagomilali pod svojim krovovima kitajsku majoliku, akvarele, damastne stolnjake, svilene čarape, krzna i dragulje. Ljudi lakiraju svoje nokte kao perverzni istočnjaci, kupaju se u mramornim kupaonicama, voze se ugrijanim kočijama, piju gorke želučane likere, ali pojma zapravo nemaju ŠTO JE TO ŽIVOTNA STVARNOST I KAKO BI JE TREBALO ŽIVJETI?”
― Miroslav Krleža, The Return of Philip Latinowicz

“These solitary ones who are free in spirit know thatin one thing or another they must constantly put on an appearance that is different from the way they think; although they want nothing but truth and honesty, they are entangled in a web of misunderstandings. And despite their keen desire, they cannot prevent a fog of false opinions, of accommodation, of halfway concessions, of indulgent silence, of erroneous interpretation from settling on everything they do. And so a cloud of melancholy gathers around their brow, for such natures hate the necessity of appearances more than death, and their persistent bitterness about this makes them volatile and menacing. From time to time they take revenge for their violent selfconcealment, for their coerced constraint. They emerge from their caves with horrible expressions on their faces; at such times their words and deeds are explosions, and it is even possible for them to destroy themselves.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Untimely Meditations

“The word “depressed” is spoken phonetically as “deep rest”. We can view depression not as a mental illness, but on a deeper level, as a profound, and very misunderstood, state of deep rest, entered into when we are completely exhausted by the weight of our own identity.”
― Jeff Foster

“Every search begins with beginner's luck. And every search ends with the victor's being severely tested." The boy remembered an old proverb from his country. It said that the darkest hour of the night came just before the dawn.”
