“Words tend to last a big longer than things, but eventually they fade too, along with the pictures they once evoked. Entire categories of objects disappear - flowerpots, for example, or cigarette filters, or rubber bands - and for a time you will be able to recognize those words, even if you cannot recall what they mean. But then, little by little, the words become only sounds, a random collection of glottals and fricatives, a storm of whirling phonemes, and finally the whole thing just collapses into gibberish.”
― Paul Auster, In the Country of Last Things

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”
― Thomas Jefferson

“…напрасно многие теперь учат и проповедуют, что единичное доброе дело ничего не значит.”
― Федор Достоевский, Идиот

“Back off, asshole. I haven't had a woman today, so I'm in no mood for this kind of bullshit. ”
― Gena Showalter, The Darkest Night
