“Nije skrivala bilo kakve uznemirujuće tajne; što god se moglo ljudski ubiti, ona bi ubila. Mogla je tako beskrajno poživjeti, jednako kao i mjesec, kao bilo koja mrtva planeta koja zrači hipnotičkim sjajem, diže plimu strasti, nagoni svijet u ludilo, svojim magnetskim, metalnim zracima oduzima boju svim zemaljskim stvarima. Sijući vlastitu smrt, prenosi na svakoga paklensku groznicu. U odvratnoj mirnoći svog sna obnovila je vlastitu magnetsku smrt u dodiru s hladnom magmom pustih planetarnih svjetova.”
― Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn

― Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot

“MT [Mother Teresa] was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction.”
― Christopher Hitchens

“To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation—is that good for the world?”
― Christopher Hitchens
