It is being alone that will actually set you up the best for being with someone else.”
― Drew Barrymore, Wildflower

“Пак фирмите, всичко се въртеше около фирмите, сякаш животът и честта на хората не съществуваха, а държавата — това бяха фирмите!... Все по-силно ставаше просветлението в главата на Чакъра. Той разсъждаваше бавно, тромаво, но мисълта му, почвайки от конкретни факти, стигаше до общи изводи. Имаше някаква мафия, която управляваше невидимо държавата. Имаше някакъв съюз от много богати хора, от търговци, индустриалци и банкери, който беше подчинил правителството, полицията, войската, който решаваше и направляваше всичко, който нямаше милост и не се спираше пред никакви средства, за да запази властта и грабителството си. [...]Всеки знаеше, че големците
на много партии влизаха в управителните съвети на фирмите, че министри и генерали участвуваха с поставени лица в предприятия, на които „Никотиана” купуваше тютюна и даваше трохи от печалбите си. На всички беше известно, че търговците, банкерите, индустриалците, министрите и генералите се поддържаха взаимно, че мафията им като огромен октопод, с хиляди заповядващи и смучещи пипала, беше обхванала сега целия
народ[...] И тогава Чакъра въпреки дребното си благополучие, въпреки лозето и нивата си, въпреки малкия си имотец на село съзна изведнъж, че той и стражарите, които сега щеше да поведе, бяха само жалки слуги, само мизерно платени наемници на тази мафия,която не даваше ни пукната пара за живота им и гледаше само печалбите си.”
― Димитър Димов, Тютюн

― Stephen King, Pet Sematary

"What did you write?"
"I wrote that I wanted to concentrate on being little first."
"That's a very good answer."

"She said I hadn't understood the task."
"And what did you say?"
"I said she hadn't understood my answer.”
― Fredrik Backman, And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer
