Jane Austen
“I have no talent for certainty.”
Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

Димчо Дебелянов
“Аз искам да те помня все така:
бездомна, безнадеждна и унила,
в ръка ми вплела пламнала ръка
и до сърце ми скръбен лик склонила.
Градът далече тръпне в мътен дим,
край нас, на хълма, тръпнат дървесата
и любовта ни сякаш по е свята,
защото трябва да се разделим.


"В зори ще тръгна, ти в зори дойди
и донеси ми своя взор прощален -
да го припомня верен и печален
в часа, когато Тя ще победи!"
О, Морна, Морна, в буря скършен злак,
укрий молбите, вярвай - пролетта ни
недосънуван сън не ще остане
и ти при мене ще се върнеш пак!


А все по-страшно пада нощ над нас,
чертаят мрежи прилепите в мрака,
утеха сетна твойта немощ чака,
а в свойта вяра сам не вярвам аз.
И ти отпущаш пламнала ръка
и тръгваш, поглед в тъмнината впила,
изгубила дори за сълзи сила. -
Аз искам да те помня все така...”
Димчо Дебелянов

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Димчо Дебелянов
“Аз умирам и светло се раждам -
разнолика, нестройна душа,
през деня неуморно изграждам,
през нощта без пощада руша.”
Димчо Дебелянов, Черна песен

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
Anonymous, Holy Bible: New International Version
