“Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it's often one of the great motivations for living. Some of us, in time, become so conscious of it that we live harder, more obstinately, with more fury. Some need its constant presence to even be aware of its antithesis. Others become so preoccupied with it that they go into the waiting room long before it has announced its arrival. We fear it, yet most of us fear more than anything that it may take someone other than ourselves. For the greatest fear of death is always that it will pass us by. And leave us there alone.”
― Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

“I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald

“Обичам да гледам през тъмните гранки
на кротко склонени над мен дървеса
как мълком разстилат се нощните сянки
по плувнали в жар небеса...

И трепетно вслушан в мълвата потайна
на рано-ранилите плахи звезди,
да чакам ответ на великата тайна,
която душата ми в мрак обгради.

И дълго да роня във нощните скути
сълзи за отминали в път красоти,
сълзи за молитвите свои нечути
и рано умрели мечти.”
― Димчо Дебелянов, Скрити вопли
