“If it's a story I'm telling, then I have control over the ending...
But if it's a story, even in my head, I must be telling it to someone.
You don't tell a story only to yourself. There's always someone else. Even when there is no one.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

“Dzīve pastāv no bezgalīgām, garlaicīgām dienām un ātriem, skaistiem momentiem, kas kā ziedi pa gaisu aizlido, vēja rauti. Ja to nebūtu - neviens nedzīvotu. Jāmeklē vairāk tādu momentu - tas ir vienīgais, kas glābj dvēseli.”
― Jānis Akuraters, Pēteris Danga
