Елин Пелин
“Една мисъл не ми дава мира - защо избягах от живота. Спасих ли себе си,
или се погубих?”
Елин Пелин, Под манастирската лоза

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

Agatha Christie
“...vanity was a strangely blinding quality. Vanity was the Achilles heel.”
Agatha Christie, They Came to Baghdad

Agatha Christie
“Trains are relentless things, aren't they, Monsieur Poirot? People are murdered and die, but they go on just the same. I am talking nonsense, but you know what I mean."
"Yes, yes, I know. Life is like a train, Mademoiselle. It goes on. And it is a good thing that that is so."
"Why?"
"Because the train gets to its journey's end at last, and there is a proverb about that in your language, Mademoiselle."
"'Journey's end in lovers meeting.'" Lenox laughed. "That is not going to be true for me."
"Yes--yes, it is true. You are young, younger than you yourself know. Trust the train, Mademoiselle, for it is le bon Dieu who drives it."
The whistle of the engine came again.
"Trust the train, Mademoiselle," murmured Poirot again. "And trust Hercule Poirot. He knows.”
Agatha Christie, The Mystery of the Blue Train
