“My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child; its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me.”
― Fernando Pessoa

“Uvijek sam se pitala zašto ljudi ne podižu spomenike krumpiru, na primjer. Ali ne, čovjek, ta podanička kreatura, najradije podiže spomenike svojim političarima. Pritom ga krupir hrani, a političari ga upropaštavaju. Tvrdoglavi ljudski primjerak i dalje diže spomenike svojim herojima, za koje se na kraju ispostavlja da su bili kriminalci. Što ćemo, čovjekova duša je konobarska, uvijek spremna da služi i bez napojnice.”
― Dubravka Ugrešić, Napad na minibar

“Their women only exert indirect powers over them, powers that seem ineffective, or else are so strong that they, the men, can’t recognize them as such. But a woman who stands up to them and looks them in the eye is a tree to be cut down, and they cut it down. She falls with the sound of dead wood which disappears among the perfidious murmurings of the city, and to the smirking of other women who are satisfied with the male victories.”
― Etel Adnan

“I say the same thing about the death of James Wait. "Oh, well -- he wasn't going to write the Beethoven's Ninth Symphony anyway.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Galápagos
