Ivica Prtenjača
“Svake godine na otoku se izgradi desetak novih kuća, betonskih spavaonica za napuklu Europu. Već s prvim danima jeseni te kuće, i mnoge druge, ostaju prazne, na otoku je ljudi sve manje. Zbog te količine praznog, tamnog, skoro mrtvog prostora, zbog aveti te arhitekture i urbanizma što se poput karcinoma širi otokom, život preživjelih stanovnika, njihove kuće u kojima gori svjetlo, čuje se žamor, postaju iznimke, incidenti živog u mrtvom okolišu. Kao u priručnoj distopiji i njezinoj slici apokalipse, pred tim tužnim betonskim kolosima, život se sakrio u malene kozmose, tajne rezervate u nepreglednoj turističkoj pustinji.”
Ivica Prtenjača, Brdo

Tom Standage
“Greek customs such as wine drinking were regarded as worthy of imitation by other cultures. So the ships that carried Greek wine were carrying Greek civilization, distributing it around the Mediterranean and beyond, one amphora at a time. Wine displaced beer to become the most civilized and sophisticated of drinks—a status it has maintained ever since, thanks to its association with the intellectual achievements of Ancient Greece.”
Tom Standage, A History of the World in 6 Glasses
