Steven Millhauser
“Members of this school insist that the only way to find an opening to our underground world is to seek out a quiet and secluded spot. Close your eyes. Concentrate your attention inward. Descend.”
Steven Millhauser, The Knife Thrower and Other Stories

“Мне бы хотелось прожить жизнь таким образом, чтобы то, что осталось от меня, имело бы отношение скорее к свободе и правде, чем к пустоте, в которую сейчас превращаются эти слова.”
Maria Alyokhina, Riot Days

Nikita Gill
“We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins, carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains. 93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames, we are all just stars that have people names.”
Nikita Gill

Marcus Aurelius
“Если ты огорчаешься по поводу чего-либо внешнего, то угнетает тебя не сама эта вещь, а твое суждение о ней. Но устранить последнее в твоей власти.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Jon Krakauer
“Early on a difficult climb, especially a difficult solo climb, you constantly feel the abyss pulling at your back. To resist takes a tremendous conscious effort; you don’t dare let your guard down for an instant. The siren song of the void puts you on edge; it makes your movements tentative, clumsy, herky-jerky. But as the climb goes on, you grow accustomed to the exposure, you get used to rubbing shoulders with doom, you come to believe in the reliability of your hands and feet and head. You learn to trust your self-control. By and by your attention becomes so intensely focused that you no longer notice the raw knuckles, the cramping thighs, the strain of maintaining nonstop concentration. A trancelike state settles over your efforts; the climb becomes a clear-eyed dream. Hours slide by like minutes. The accumulated clutter of day-to-day existence—the lapses of conscience, the unpaid bills, the bungled opportunities, the dust under the couch, the inescapable prison of your genes—all of it is temporarily forgotten, crowded from your thoughts by an overpowering clarity of purpose and by the seriousness of the task at hand.”
Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild
