“В какъв грозен свят сме пратили това дете.
Цял живот ли ще отговаря на глупави въпроси?
Що за простотия е това: Колко обичаш някого?
Колко! Колко! Колко! Колко!
Мозъците ни до такава степен са промити от метри, секунди, килограми, литри, щото почваме да си мислим, че и любовта можем да измерим.
Затова и децата ни вдигат ръце от нас. Защото постоянно ги изправяме до стената и ги разстрелваме с тъпите си въпроси : Горе ръцете! Как се казваш? Кого обичаш? Колко?
из "Зимна ябълка”

“Whether it is labeled as sacred versus profane, gospel versus blues, God’s work versus the devil’s music, the classic (and still pervasive) African-American paradigm that holds church matters and popular culture in diametric opposition, that separates true spirituality from such music as jazz, held no sway in Coltrane’s self-erected system. How could it, when he had found salvation through a saxophone? With the clarity of youth, he divined a common source—and common goal—to both pursuits.”
― Ashley Kahn, A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane's Signature Album

“And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it's already happened.”
― Douglas Coupland, Life After God

“Margarita was never short of money. She could buy whatever she liked. Her husband had plenty of interesting friends. Margarita never had to cook. Margarita knew nothing of the horrors of living in a shared flat. In short... was she happy? Not for a moment.”
― Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita
