“If grass grows and withers, it can only mean that it is part of a greater thing, which is even more real; not that the grass is less real than it looks.

― K.J. Parker, One Little Room an Everywhere

“Everyone else felt the need to assure me that Mother's death was part of God's plan. Exactly, I wanted to shout after reading this sentiment half a dozen times--- his plan is to kill us all, and if an innocent child dies in agony and a wicked man breathes his last at an advanced age in his sleep, who are we to call it injustice?”
― Valerie Martin, Property

“Cynicism is often the shamefaced product of inexperience.”
― A.J. Liebling, Mollie and Other War Pieces

“Ce sper eu e sa fac de ras lumea literara. Sa rad pe cat pot de netrebnicii astia lingusitori, adunati ca intr-un musuroi, care se pupa-n fund unul pe altul si isi ling ranile in timp ce, de fapt, isi pun bete roate reciproc.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84 Book 1
