Quotes by Marek Torčík (?)

“Co jiného jsou vzpomínky než právě příběhy. Připomínám ti je v domnění, že patří stejnému člověku, kterým jsi kdysi byl. Spřádáš je v síť, sedíš na nich, jako by to byly právě ony, co tě drží nad vodou. Ve skutečnosti se však s každým vyprávěním přetvářejí v něco jiného, vzdáleného.”
― Marek Torčík, Rozložíš paměť

“Dnes už víš, že stejně snadno, jako se slovo může stát zbraní, dokáže násilí nahradit jazyk. Pěst je často jen věta srozumitelná každému.”
― Marek Torčík, Rozložíš paměť

“Vybudovali jsme si jeden pro druhého i sami pro sebe tak pevné ohrady, až máme často sami potíže se do nich vměstnat. Pokud se do nich nevměstnám, ptáš se sám sebe, budu pak ještě vůbec člověkem?”
― Marek Torčík, Rozložíš paměť
