Rainer Maria Rilke
“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Saul Bellow
“Unexpected intrusions of beauty. This is what life is.”
Saul Bellow, Herzog

Arseny Tarkovsky
“И птицам с нами было по дороге,
И рыбы подымались по реке,
И небо развернулось пред глазами...

Когда судьба по следу шла за нами,
Как сумасшедший с бритвою в руке.”
Arseny Tarkovsky

Emil M. Cioran
“Knowledge subverts love: in proportion as we penetrate our secrets, we come to loathe our kind, precisely because they resemble us.”
Emil Cioran

Paulo Coelho
“Borges said there are only four stories to tell: a love story between two people, a love story between three people, the struggle for power and the voyage. All of us writers rewrite these same stories ad infinitum.”
Paolo Coelho
