Elizabeth Gilbert
“The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

Virginia Woolf
“She had the perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very, dangerous to live even one day.”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway

Virginia Woolf
“Clarissa had a theory in those days - they had heaps of theories, always theories, as young people have. It was to explain the feeling they had of dissatisfaction; not knowing people; not being known. For how could they know each other? You met every day; then not for six months, or years. It was unsatisfactory, they agreed, how little one knew people. But she said, sitting on the bus going up Shaftesbury Avenue, she felt herself everywhere; not 'here, here, here'; and she tapped the back of the seat; but everywhere. She waved her hand, going up Shaftesbury Avenue. She was all that. So that to know her, or any one, one must seek out the people who completed them; even the places. Odd affinities she had with people she had never spoke to, some women in the street, some man behind a counter - even trees, or barns. It ended in a transcendental theory which, with her horror of death, allowed her to believe, or say that she believed (for all her scepticism), that since our apparitions, the part of us which appears, are so momentary compared with the other, the unseen part of us, which spreads wide, the unseen might survive, be recovered somehow attached to this person or that, or even haunting certain places, after death. Perhaps - perhaps.”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway

Andrzej Stasiuk
“Panie, wiem, że jesteś zajęty, że nie masz czasu, że dziś odwiedzasz piekło, ale uważam, że powinieneś rozpędzić mój naród na cztery wiatry. Powinieneś przepędzić go od siebie jak tych przekupniów ze świątyni. Na jakąś pustynię ich wygnać, żeby się tułali jak Żydzi. Żeby im się nie wydawało, że mają do Ciebie jakiś grupowy dostęp, że im będziesz zbiorowo rozpatrywał i liczył im te wszystkie plemienne zasługi, które sobie wyobrażają, zapisują i potem w nie wierzą. Że to są zasługi przed Tobą. Panie, ja bym ich na Twoim miejscu rozgonił po całym świecie jak naród Izraela i dopiero by się okazało, ile są warci. Jakby nie mieli tego swojego Mazowsza, Kieleckiego, Grunwaldu, tych wszystkich listopadów, styczniów i wrześniów dymiących spalonym mięsem, toby się okazało. Jakby nic nie mieli. Jakby nie mieli żadnego Ruska, Niemca ani Żyda na usprawiedliwienie, ani tego swojego papieża nie mieli na pogański kult, tylko na sto kilometrów piasek, toby było wiadomo, czy oni wierzą, czy tylko robią narodowy interes. Piasek i wieczność. Tak bym zrobił. W kosmos. I Częstochowę na ich oczach bym im rozpirzył jak Jerycho, jak stragany jerozolimskich gołębiarzy. Żeby, gdy już popędzisz kota temu mojemu narodowi wybranemu, mogli przyjść do Ciebie niewidomi i chromi i żeby nie musieli z tych wiejskich poczt z żółtą trąbką wysyłać czerwonych przekazów z ostatnim groszem dla zbójeckich jaskiń w eterze. Tak sobie myślę już za Dubienką, gdy przecinam dwunastkę, która po tamtej stronie granicy zamienia się w M07 i ciągnie aż do Kijowa.”
Andrzej Stasiuk, Wschód

Virginia Woolf
“Beauty, the world seemed to say. And as if to prove it (scientifically) wherever he looked at the houses, at the railings, at the antelopes stretching over the palings, beauty sprang instantly. To watch a leaf quivering in the rush of air was an exquisite joy. Up in the sky swallows swooping, swerving, flinging themselves in and out, round and round, yet always with perfect control as if elastics held them; and the flies rising and falling; and the sun spotting now this leaf, now that, in mockery, dazzling it with soft gold in pure good temper; and now again some chime (it might be a motor horn) tinkling divinely on the grass stalks—all of this, calm and reasonable as it was, made out of ordinary things as it was, was the truth now; beauty, that was the truth now. Beauty was everywhere.”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
