Fall off the edge

"I mean, could the people who control all the money and politics ever invent a scarier warning? Didn't these same science experts used to say the earth was flat? Wasn't it really important we should stay at home and be peasants and slaves or we'd fall off the edge?"

Neddy Nelson (Party Crasher) in Chuck Palahniuk, Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey (2007)

Game of Thrones high

"I learned that I'll never win. Not that way. That's their game. Their rules. I'm not going to fight them. I'm going to fuck them. That's what I know. That's what I am. And only by admitting what we are can we get what we want."

Petyr Baelish

The Elephant's Journey

"The past is an immense area of stony ground that many people would like to drive across as if it were a road, while others move patiently from stone to stone, lifting each one because they need to know what lies beneath."

On the Road

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but, burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."

The real Alice

"Daca vrei sa citesti cartea asta, nu-ti bate capul"

"Putem trece prin viata lasandu-i pe altii sa ne spuna cine suntem. Daca suntem sanatosi sau nebuni. Sfinti sau dependenti sexual. Eroi sau victime. Lasand istoria sa decida cat de buni sau de rai suntem.
Lasand trecutul sa ne hotarasca viitorul.
Sau putem hotari si singuri.
Si poate ca tine de noi sa inventam ceva mai bun."

Dor de carti

"Era fundamental si instinctiv, tinea de esenta feminitatii sa doresti sa tamaduiesti oameni - sa linistesti dorinta unui barbat cu o cataplasma de carne docila, sa-i oferi spiritului sau inchistat exaltarea de a contempla o vrajitoare care se despuie de vesminte si se urca la ceruri intr-o camera de hotel urat mobilata."
"Spiritul are nevoie de nebunie la fel cum trupul are nevoie de hrana."

Ne prindem singuri in capcana

"Daca putem ierta ce ni s-a facut...
Daca putem ierta ce le-am facut altora...
Daca putem trece peste povestile noastre. Peste faptul ca am fost raufacatori si victime.
Poate doar atunci am putea salva lumea.
Dar ramanem pe loc, asteptand sa fim salvati. Cat suntem inca victime, sperand sa fim descoperiti in timp ce suferim."
