“Старі люди потребують любові, як рослини потребують сонця.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“Liberty is a bitch who must be bedded on a mattress of
corpses.”
― Neil Gaiman, American Gods: Tenth Anniversary

“Люди никогда не видят то, существование чего им кажется невозможным.”
― Terry Pratchett, Mort

“It was Grandfather's watch and when Father gave it to me he said I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire; it's rather excruciating-ly apt that you will use it to gain the reducto absurdum of all human experience which can fit your individual needs no better than it fitted his or his father's. I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.”
― William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury
