“U mladosti duhovni saputnici su nam prijatelji i knjige. Ali najveća razlika između prijatelja i knjiga je ta da se prijatelji menjaju, a knjige ne. Knjiga, čak i ako skuplja prašinu na polici ili u nekom uglu sobe, uporno čuva svoj karakter i svoju filozofiju. Prihvatajući je ili odbacujući je, čitajući je ili ne, mi samo možemo da promenimo naš stav prema njoj, i to je sve.”
― Yukio Mishima, The Way of the Samurai

“She wanted to die, but she also wanted to live in Paris.”
― Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary
