"A to sme tak pozerali diel Životov slávnych o Alexandrovi Solženicynovi a ja som hneď kupovala túto knihu. Získal za ňu Nobelovu cenu. Úryvok znel brutálne - aj tým strohým a výstižným štýlom písania. Zatiaľ sa mi číta nejako kostrbato - žeby to bolo tou kvapku pristarou češtinou, ktorá mi akosi nesedí...?" — Nov 23, 2025 04:45PM

"Vôbec nie som prudérna, chápem, že medzi niekým môže byť iba sexuálne napätie, ale tak nejako nerozumiem, ako Eva nenávidí, keď v nej muž vidí iba sexuálny objekt a zároveň jej vlastne až tak nevadí, že prvé, čo jej Gideon kedy povedal, bolo: "Chcem Vás pretiahnuť." (Aspoň keby k tomu pridal to: "dobrý deň"...). Asi že sú všetci bohatí a krásni, to je to potom asi aj tak jedno. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂" — Jul 12, 2025 04:44PM

“Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

“I believe in those whom I love and trust. All else is foolishness. This god is as empty as his church. His followers choose to attribute all of their good fortune to him, but when he ignores their pleas or leaves them to suffer, they say only that he ignores their pleas or leaves them to suffer, they say only that he is beyond their understanding and abandon themselves to his will. What kind of god is that?”
― John Connolly, The Book of Lost Things
