“There are too many books I haven't read, too many places I haven't seen, too many memories I haven't kept long enough”
― Irwin Shaw

“A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition.”

“There is nothing more alone than being in a car at night in the rain. I was in the car. And I was glad of it. Between one point on the map and another point on the map, there was the being alone in the car in the rain. They say you are not you except in terms of relation to other people. If there weren't any other people there wouldn't be any you because what you do which is what you are, only has meaning in relation to other people. That is a very comforting thought when you are in the car in the rain at night alone, for then you aren't you, and not being you or anything, you can really lie back and get some rest. It is a vacation from being you. There is only the flow of the motor under your foot spinning that frail thread of sound out of its metal guy like a spider, that filament, that nexus, which isn't really there, between the you which you have just left in one place and the you which you will be where you get to the other place.”
― Robert Penn Warren, All the King's Men

“Малко картини по света са ме вълнували така, както ме разтърсваха онези пролетни лунни нощи край София, когато играта на природата невинно ни внушаваше, че планината е повече от планина, че градът е повече от град и че може би ние бяхме повече от неспокойни млади хора. Това бяха нощи на природно обещание за друг свят и друг живот.”
