Balys Sruoga
“Tai kas, kad daugelis iš tos komandos narių perdien išmiršta - barakuose, pakelėj, ,,darbo" metu!
...
Miršta žmonės karo laukuose baisiose kančiose. Bet tenai - visi lygūs. Ten - sužeistam pagalba teikiama. Ten sužeistą net priešas pagerbia. Ten - turi ginklą, Gali gintis. Ten tavo mirtis ir kančios šiokios tokios prasmės turi: dėl kurios nors idėjos kariaujama, dėl tėvynės, dėl laisvės...

O čia - niekur nieko! Jokios prasmės! Niekas tau jokios pagalbos neteiks. Niekas tavęs neatjaus, nepaguos, į mirties paslaptį pakeleivingos meilės žodžiu nepalydės.
Seniau, bent kituose kraštuose, kariamajam bent paskutinį norą patenkindavo - duodavo pavalgyti, dūmą nuryti, laišką parašyti, kokią mauškę išmesti... o čia - paspiria koja ir viskas,”

“The first thing I learned about having money was that it gives you choices. People don’t want to be rich. They want to be able to choose. The richer you are, the more choices you have. That is the freedom of money.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

“Ko ko, bet kvailių visur yra daugiau, negu reikia. Kiekviena tauta jų turi ir sau, ir eksportui pakankamai, lygiai kaip kiekviena tauta turi nuosavus latrus ir šventuosius." ― Balys Sruoga, Dievų miškas”

“it is the moral responsibility of the incompetent to identify their own weaknesses and not accept positions of power.”
Juliet Grames, The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna

Juliet Grames
“You probably don't come to visit as often as you should, and when you do come to visit, it is offensive to Auntie Tina how little you'll eat. All this seems like an Italian grandmother joke, but I assure you Tina Caramanico is quite serious. There are two ways to handle this overfeeding situation. You can yell at her to stop putting food on your plate, then feel guilty about yelling at an old woman. Or you can avoid conflict, eat quietly, and suffer only physically afterward. The first time I brought my husband to meet her, Auntie Tina told me admiringly, “He eats so nicely.” This is a thing Italian grandmothers say about men who don’t yell at them during dinner.”
Juliet Grames, The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna
