“Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“Но може би никого той не възнагради като мен малко преди да почине. Карлос веднъж за винаги даде отговор на въпроса дали е разумно и уместно да се преследват "амбициозни" цели в терапията с терминално болните. Когато последно го посетих в болницата, той беше толкова слаб, че едва се движеше, но вдигна глава, стисна ръката ми и прошепна:
- Благодаря. Благодаря, че спаси живота ми.”
― Ървин Ялом, Love's Executioner and Other Tales of Psychotherapy

“[The kakapo] is an extremely fat bird. A good-sized adult will weigh about six or seven pounds, and its wings are just about good for waggling a bit if it thinks it's about to trip over something — but flying is out of the question. Sadly, however, it seems that not only has the kakapo forgotten how to fly, but it has forgotten that it has forgotten how to fly. Apparently a seriously worried kakapo will sometimes run up a tree and jump out of it, whereupon it flies like a brick and lands in a graceless heap on the ground.”
― Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See

“People," Geralt turned his head, "like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves. When they get blind-drunk, cheat, steal, beat their wives, starve an old woman, when they kill a trapped fox with an axe or riddle the last existing unicorn with arrows, they like to think that the Bane entering cottages at daybreak is more monstrous than they are. They feel better then. They find it easier to live.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish
