"This is my depressed stance. When you're depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you'll start to feel better. If you're going to get any joy out of being depressed, you've got to stand like this."

"Un lucru pe care putem să-1 recunoaştem este că
frecventarea marilor opere, folosirea minţii proprii, citirea
lucrărilor unor genii, chiar dacă nu te face cu certitudine
inteligent, face riscul mai probabil. Desigur, există oameni
care au citit Freud, Platon, care ştiu să jongleze cu cuarci şi
să deosebească un şoim-călător de un vinde-reu, şi care
să fie nişte imbecili. Cu toate acestea, potenţial, în contact
cu o multitudine de stimuli şi lăsîndu-ţi spiritul să
frecventeze o atmosferă stimulatoare, inteligenţa găseşte
un teren favorabil dezvoltării ei, exact la fel ca o boală.
Căci inteligenţa este o boală.""
— Martin Page

"The rapacious white tribe who were arriving in increasing numbers, not only as convicts but also as settlers, wanted to own everything they touched. They slashed and burned the wilderness so that they might graze their sheep and grow their corn. They erected fences around the land they now called their own and which henceforth they were prepared to defend with muskets and sometimes even their lives. They built church steeples and prison walls and homes of granite hewn from the virgin rock and timber cut from the umbrageous mountain forests. They possessed everything upon the island, the wild beasts that grazed upon its surface, the birds that flew over it, the fish that swam in its rushing river torrents and the barking seals resting in the quiet bays and secluded inlets. Everything they thought worthwhile was attached to the notion of ownership."
— Bryce Courtenay (The Potato Factory)
