    Μαργαρίτα Καραπάνου
    “Ίσως γι' αυτό και η βαθύτερη δικιά μου αδιαφορία και ψυχρότητα. Αλλά τι απίστευτο δώρο όταν κάποιος ή κάτι μ' αγγίξει. Τι λάθος η άποψη πως η ευαισθησία είναι να πάλλεσαι με το καθετί! Αντίθετα. Ο ειαίσθητος άνθρωπος είναι ψυχρός και αδιάφορος φαινομενικά. Απλώς είναι τρομακτικά εκλεκτικός. Οργανωμένο παραλήρημα. Για τους άλλους είναι τέρας. Είναι αλλού, γι' αυτό.”

    ― Marilyn Monroe

    Alexandre Dumas
    “There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
    " Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and Hope.”

    John Green
    “I missed the future. Obviously I knew even before his recurrence that I'd never grow old with Augustus Waters. But thinking about Lidewij and her boyfriend, I felt robbed. I would probably never again see the ocean from thirty thousand feet above, so far up that you can't make out the waves or any boats, so that the ocean is a great and endless monolith. I could imagine it. I could remember it. But I couldn't see it again, and it occurred to me that the voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again.”

    Almudena Grandes
    “Cuando pasa algo malo, pero malo de verdad, por mucho que llores, lo peor no es llorar, que eso a veces está bien, porque te quedas nuevo, lo peor empieza cuando no puedes llorar más, y entonces te das cuenta de que la tristeza es algo sucio, como un grumo gris, espeso, una pelota de barro dentro de los pulmones, que pesa, y la notas al respirar, todo el tiempo.”
