“If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.”
― Ray Bradbury

“človeško življenje se dogodi le enkrat, zato ne bomo nikoli zanesljivo vedeli, katera naša odločitev je bila prava in katera napačna, zakaj v dani situaciji smo se lahko odločili le enkrat. Ni nam bilo dano nobeno drugo, tretje življenje, da bi mogli različne odločitve primerjati med seboj.”
― Milan Kundera , The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything - what a waste!”

“We're forced to walk a difficult line by this insistence that we only write about our personal journeys," I told the audience. "We end up in this position of only being allowed to represent ourselves, but having to make sure we don't misrepresent everyone. This creates some division in our communities - everyone has their own opinion about what's good representation and what isn't, and you can't please them all." (p. 231)”
― Juliet Jacques, Trans: A Memoir
