“I knew you were too fine for me.” „No,” she protested. „I’m not a highborn lady, I’m a commoner.” „There’s nothing common about you.” Ethan began to play with her hair, sifting his fingers through it, lifting a lock to brush the ends against his lips and cheeks. „Do you want to know why I gave you violets? They’re beautiful and small, but tough enough to grow in the cracks of city pavement. More than once, I’ve been in some dark place and seen them clustered near a broken stoop, or at the base of a brick wall, bright as jewels. Even without sunlight or good soil, they show up to do a flower’s job.” Lisa Kleypas, ”Hello Stranger”

“Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.” Rainer Maria Rilke

”Doi oameni sunt prieteni chiar dacă, la un moment dat, unul are chef să se culce, iar celălalt să meargă la cinematograf. Nimic nu-l poate reține pe nici unul dintre ei să facă ce vrea şi cum vrea, când vrea. Între prieteni, nu există relații care-l obligă pe unul la o anumită atitudine, în anumite momente. Relațiile sunt naturale şi simple, şi numai astfel se poate înțelege prietenia.” Jeni Acterian

“Too much looking can get in the way of seeing”.” Patrick Rothfuss, ”The Wise Man’s Fear”

“Many of us are destined to be alone, while most of us sentence ourselves to it.” M.F. Moonzajer, ”A moment with God; Poetry”

“it never really occurred to her that literary men, if they like women at all, do not want literary women but girls.” Muriel Spark, ”The Girls of Slender Means”

“Cine vrea să explice totul prin cuvinte ajunge curând să nu poată explica nimic! Sufletul n-are nevoie de cuvinte pentru a înţelege.” Liviu Rebreanu, Adam și Eva
