“Докосвам устата ти, с пръст докосвам ръба на устата ти, рисувам я, като че ли излиза изпод ръката ми, като че ли за първи път устата ти се отваря леко, достатъчно е да затворя очи, за да разваля всичко и да започна отново, всеки път правя така, че да се роди устата, която желая, устата, която ръката ми избира и рисува върху лицето ти, една уста, избрана измежду всички, съвършено свободно избрана от мен, за да я нарисувам с моята ръка върху твоето лице и която по някаква случайност - не се опитвам да я проумея - съвпада точно с твоята уста, усмихваща се изпод ръката ми, която те рисува.
Гледаш ме, гледаш ме отблизо, все по-отблизо и тогава играем на циклопи, гледаме се все по-отблизо и очите стават все по-големи, доближават се едно до друго, наслагват се едно върху друго и циклопите се гледат, дишат объркани, устите се срещат и сборичкват лекичко, хапят се с устни, едва опрели език в зъбите, играят в своите селения, откъдето влиза и излиза тежък въздух - древен мирис, тишина. Тогава ръцете ми се устремяват да проникнат в косите ти, галят бавно дълбините на косите ти, докато се целуваме, устите ни сякаш са пълни с цветя или риби, с живи движения, с тъмен аромат. И ако се захапем, болката е сладка, и ако се задушим в едно кратко и едновременно изпиване на дъха, тази мигновена смърт е красива. И има една-единствена слюнка и един-единствен вкус на зрял плод, и аз те усещам да потрепваш до мен като луна във водата.”
― Julio Cortázar, Hopscotch

“Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

“Man cannot survive except through his mind. He comes on earth unarmed. His brain is his only weapon. Animals obtain food by force. man had no claws, no fangs, no horns, no great strength of muscle. He must plant his food or hunt it. To plant, he needs a process of thought. To hunt, he needs weapons,and to make weapons - a process of thought. From this simplest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and we have comes from a single attribute of man -the function of his reasoning mind.”
― Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

“There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping
after failure and moving on. Yet most people are stricken with
fear. They fear failure so much that they fail. They are too
conditioned, too used to being told what to do. It begins with
the family, runs through school and goes into the business
world.”

― Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer
