“I am not well; I could have built the Pyramids with the effort it takes me to cling on to life and reason.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Felice

“Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man a conscience then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience and Other Essays

“I am going to outlive myself. Eat, sleep, sleep, eat. Exist slowly, softly, like these trees, like a puddle of water, like the red bench in the streetcar.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

“Ανθρώπους ψάχνουμε όχι ιδεολογίες,
Ανθρώπους που να 'χουν θάρρος, αγάπη, καλοσύνη.
Ανθρώπους που δεν είναι ψεύτες, ρηχοί και βολεμένοι και ξέρουν να δίνουνε,
όχι να ρουφάν και να εκμεταλλεύονται τους γύρω.
Ανθρώπους έστω με καρδιά. Κι ας είναι δικηγόροι, παπάδες και αστυνόμοι. Κι ας είναι και χαφιέδες, κομουνιστές, αναρχικοί,
αρκεί να έχουν τόλμη να κρατήσουν ένα λόγο και να πούνε την αλήθεια.”
― Νικόλας Άσιμος
