“Closing your eyes isn't going to change anything. Nothing's going to disappear just because you can't see what's going on. In fact, things will even be worse the next time you open your eyes. That's the kind of world we live in. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes. Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won't make time stand still.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Din străfundul inimii mele,spiritul meu a strigat:"Strălucește,Constantinopole,strălucește pentru ultima dată!Strălucește cu lumina ta sfântă!O mie de ani de amaruri ți-au îmipietrit sufletul.Dar încă o dată,cu ultimele tale tale picături de ulei sfânt,fă să țășnescă din piatră,sufletul tău!Așază-ți pe cap cununa de spini a lui Hristos !Inveșmântează-te in purpura!In pragul nopții ce va să fie,fii demn de tine,Constantinopole,orașul meu!”
― Mika Waltari

“I don't care what you do to me, but I don't want you to hurt me. I've had enough hurt already in my life. More than enough. Now I want to be happy.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“Je m'ouvrais pour la première fois à la tendre indifférence du monde.”
