Milan Kundera
“Oh lovers! be careful in those dangerous first days! once you've brought breakfast in bed you'll have to bring it forever, unless you want to be accused of lovelessness and betrayal.”
Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

“Съчувствието е прекрасно нещо. Човек изпитва съчувствие, като види смачкана гъсеница. Извисяващо преживяване. Човек може да му се отдаде и да го разпръсне около себе си - все едно, че си отпуска колана. Няма защо да си стяга корема, сърцето или духа, когато е обзет от съчувствие. Трябва само да погледне надолу. Толкова е лесно. Като гледате нагоре, ви заболява вратът. Съчувствието е най-голямата добродетел. То оправдава страданието. По света трябва да има страдание, иначе как можем да сме добродетелни и да изпитваме съчувствие?... О, то има своя противоположност - но тя е толкова трудна и завладяваща... Възхищението, г-жо Джоунс, възхищението. Но то изисква много повече от отпускане на колан... Затова казвам, че всеки, когото не сме в състояние да съжалим, е покварен. Като Хауърд Роук.”
Айн Ранд "Изворът"

Jonathan Haidt
“Everyone cares about fairness, but there are two major kinds. On the left, fairness often implies equality, but on the right it means proportionality —people should be rewarded in proportion to what they contribute, even if that guarantees unequal outcomes.”
Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion

Terry Pratchett
“Tiffany got up early and lit the fires. When her mother came down, she was scrubbing the kitchen floor, very hard.

“Er…aren’t you supposed to do that sort of thing by magic, dear?” said her mother, who’d never really got the hang of what witchcraft was all about.

“No, Mum, I’m supposed not to,” said Tiffany, still scrubbing.

“But can’t you just wave your hand and make all the dirt fly away, then?”

“The trouble is getting the magic to understand what dirt is,” said Tiffany, scrubbing hard at a stain. “I heard of a witch over in Escrow who got it wrong and ended up losing the entire floor and her sandals and nearly a toe.”

Mrs. Aching backed away. “I thought you just had to wave your hands about,” she mumbled nervously.

“That works,” said Tiffany, “but only if you wave them about on the floor with a scrubbing brush.”
Terry Pratchett, Wintersmith

Terry Pratchett
“Mrs. Earwig said the village women know what to do,” said Annagramma hopefully. “She says to trust in their peasant wisdom.”

“Well, Mrs. Obble was the old woman who called, and she has just got simple peasant ignorance,” said Tiffany. “She puts leaf mold on wounds if you don’t watch her. Look, just because a woman’s got no teeth doesn’t mean she’s wise. It might just mean she’s been stupid for a very long time.”
Terry Pratchett, Wintersmith
