Kakuzō Okakura
“Oamenii nu sunt invatati sa fie virtuosi, ci sa se comporte cum trebuie. Suntem rai pentru ca suntem prea constienti de propriul sine. Nu iertam niciodata pentru ca stim ca si noi gresim. Ne facem probleme de constiinta tocmai pentru ca ne e frica sa spunem adevarul in fata altora; ne refugiem in mandrie pentru ca ne temem sa recunoastem adevarul in fata propriei constiinte. Cum ar putea cineva sa ia lumea in serios, cand lumea in sine este un lucru ridicol?!”
― Okakura Kakuzo

Stephen  King
“If you're writing primarily for one person besides yourself, I'd advise you pay very close attention to that person's opinion (I know one fellow who says he writes mostly for someone who's been dead fifteen years, but the majority of us aren't in that position). And if what you hear makes sense, then make the changes. You can't let the whole world into your story, but you can let in the ones that matter the most. And you should.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

Irvin D. Yalom
“Vreti sa zburati, dar nu puteti incepe sa zburati zburand. Trebuie sa va invat mai intai sa mergeti, iar primul pas in a invata sa mergi este sa intelegi ca acela care nu se supune lui insusi este condus de altii. Este mai usor, mult mai usor sa te supui altuia decat sa-ti comanzi tie insuti.”
― Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept

N.K. Jemisin
“He’s never hurt you, though. The world has, but not him. Maybe the world deserved to be destroyed.”
― N.K. Jemisin, The Obelisk Gate

Irvin D. Yalom
“Si indrazneala cu care Nietzsche rostea lucrurile! Incredibil! Sa spui ca speranta e cel mai mare rau! Ca Dumnezeu a murit! Ca adevarul este o greseala fara de care nu putem trai! Ca dusmanii adevarului nu sunt minciunile, ci convingerile! Ca rasplata ultima a celui mort este ca nu va mai muri! Ca medicii nu au nici un drept sa deposedeze un om de moartea sa! Ganduri malefice! Il contrazisese pe Nietzsche la fiecare dintre ele. Si totusi, era o falsa polemica: in adancul inimii, el stia ca Nietzsche are dreptate.”
― Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept
