12. "Znaš zanimljivo je da djeca uce mnogo više i mnogo brže od odraslih. Znaš li zašto je tako? Zato jer su otvorenog uma. Zato jer žele znati i žele nauciti. Odrasli misle da sve znaju. Odrastu i lako zaborave da umjesto da otvore um i razviju ga, oni odluce u što ce vjerovati, a u što ne. Ne možeš donijeti odluku o takvim stvarima - ili vjeruješ ili ne. Oni su cinicni, gube vjeru i žele znati samo one stvari koje ce im pomagati iz dana u dan. Ne zanimaju ih male stvari. Ali, male stvari cine život."
Author: Cecelia Ahern

Jeste li ikada vidjeli nesretancvijet ili hrastovo drvo pod stresom? Jeste li susreli depresivnogdupina, žabu koja ima poteškoca sa samopoštovanjem, macku koja sene može opustiti ili pticu koja u sebi nosi mržnju i negodovanje? Jedineživotinje koje povremeno mogu iskusiti nešto nalik na negativnostili pokazati znakove neuroticnog ponašanja su one koje žive ubliskom dodiru s ljudima i tako se povezuju s ljudskim umom i njegovomludošcu."

16. "Neku vecer razgovarali smo o izrazima koje koristimo dok tješimo nekoga ocajnog. Rekla sam mu kako na engleskom katkad kažemo "Been there." Objasnila sam mu da je duboka tuga kao tocno odredeno mjesto, sa svojim koordinatama na zemljovidu vremena. Kad se nadete u toj šumi tuge, ne možete ni zamisliti da cete ikada više pronaci put prema boljem mjestu. Ali, ako vas netko uspije uvjeriti da je bio na tom istom mjestu, ali ga je napustio, to katkad može donijeti nadu."

Malo Drvo je došao kuci!"Najprije su tiho pjevušili, pa su pjevali sve glasnije i potok je isto pjevao s njima. Psi su to culi, prestali su njušiti tlo i stajali naculjenih ušiju i slušali. Psi su znali; prišli su mi i legli oko mene zadovoljni.Cijeli taj kratki zimski dan proveo sam ležeci na mom tajnom mjestu.Moja duša više nije osjecala bol. Bio sam opran od svega pjesmom vjetra i drveca i potoka i ptica, punom ljubavi. Oni nisu razumjeli ni marili kako misli tjelesna pamet, kao što ni ljudi koji misle samo tjelesnom pamecu ne razumiju i ne mare za njih. I zato mi nisu govorili o paklu, niti da sam kopile, i nisu uopce govorili o zlu. Oni nisu znali za takve rijeci niti što one znace. I nakon nekog vremena, i ja sam ih zaboravio."
Author: Forrest Carter

19. "And here, right at the start, one encounters a new difficulty. For the task of reestablishing the notion of God's authority is obstructed not only by the depreciation of authority itself, but also by a false, pre-established picture of God- found even within the church. Certainly, the church has preserved the concept of a loving God, a merciful God, a compassionate God. But have Christians generally themselves any vivid sense of God's power and dominion? Do we, when we worship God, or when we reflect on His nature, catch a clear echo of His resounding and indomitable majesty?... It cannot be denied that this is the God we are supposed to worship- not just a companionable God who is to be sidled up to and nestled against, but and awesome God before whom the worshipper prostrates himself, a wrathful God whose raised right arm can shake the universe."
Author: Harry Blamires

20. "The country through which we had been travelling for days has an original beauty. Wide plains were diversified by stretches of hilly country with low passes. We often had to wade through swift running ice-cold brooks. It has long since we had seen a glacier, but as we were approaching the tasam at Barka, a chain of glaciers gleaming in the sunshine came into view. The landscape was dominated by the 25,000-foot peak of Gurla Mandhata; less striking, but far more famous, was the sacred Mount Kailash, 3,000 feet lower, which stands in majestic isolation apart from the Himalayan range."
Author: Heinrich Harrer

21. "(...) kwiaty ranily przechodzace obok twarze. Poniewaz byly tak piekne, poniewaz nie stracily blasku krajobrazu, lasów i bloni, i lak, napawaly jedynie smutkiem. Nalezaly do kraju, a kraj byl zawsze przeciwienstwem panstwa. Kwitly rok w rok, nie potrzebowaly niczego, aby rosnac. Ten upór piekna tuz obok biedy jawil mi sie czasami jako obojetnosc, ignorowanie ludzi.Jesli w panstwie przezycie stalo sie sensem istnienia, piekno kraju jest bólem."
Author: Herta Müller

22. "Karta ksiazki tylko wtedy jest cos warta, jesli mozesz ja odwrócic i dojrzec za nia zycie, które na nia napiera gwaltem i miesza wszystkie karty."

24. "There is no one force, no group, and no class that is the preserver of liberty. Liberty is preserved by those who are against the existing chief power. Oppositions which do not express genuine social forces are as trivial, in relation to entrenched power, as the old court jesters."
Author: James Burnham

25. "Chociaz nie odwazyl sie jej o to zapytac, byl pewien, ze sie masturbuje. Byla zbyt inteligentna, aby tego nie robic. Tylko kobiety, które sie masturbuja, dobrze wiedza, co je podnieca i umieja o to poprosic. Ponadto akt masturbacji jest jedynie dodatkiem do prawdziwego aktu, który ma miejsce w mózgu. Podbrzusze jest tylko scena, na której sie to rozgrywa. Byl pewien, ze ona masturbuje sie, myslac o nim. Tak, to byla wlasnie ta wylacznosc: byc w jej mózgu i w jej palcach w takim momencie. Czy mozna byc w ogóle blizej kobiety niz wtedy, gdy ona rozladowuje napiecie swoich fantazji, wiedzac, ze nic, absolutnie nic i przed nikim nie musi udawac?"
Author: Janusz Leon Wisniewski

26. "Ocevidno je da ne postoji nikakav smisao povijesti koji bi se dao spasiti ledima okrenutim prema Auschwitzu niti postoji Bog kojemu se covjek može klanjati leda okrenutih prema Auschwitzu. Kao teološko-politicka katastrofa Auschwitz ne ostavlja poštedenima niti kršcanstvo i njegovu teologiju niti društvo i njegovu politiku."
Author: Johann Baptist Metz

27. "You should have been a jester instead of a knight. (Sin)True, but jesters don't get to carry a sword. Personally, I like my sword. You know, the whole knight images really makes the ladies lust for me. Not that any have lusted for me recently, since I have only been in the company of married women, but one is ever hopeful…Oh, wait, I'm in Scotland, where they hate us English. Damn, my chances with the women have just fallen to nil. Wasn't there a monastery a few leagues back? Mayhap I should go take my vows and just save myself the embarrassment of being sneered at. (Simon)"
Author: Kinley MacGregor

28. "Trzymajcie sie z dala od czlowieka, który pracowal w pocie czola nad rozwiazaniem jakiejs zagadki, rozwiazal ja i stwierdzil, ze nie jest madrzejszy niz przedtem - powiada Bokonon. - Przepelnia go bowiem mordercza pogarda do ludzi, którzy sa równie glupi jak on, ale nie doszli do swojej glupoty równie ciezka praca."
Author: Kurt Vonnegut

29. "As they passed the rows of houses they saw through the open doors that men were sweeping and dusting and washing dishes, while the women sat around in groups, gossiping and laughing.What has happened?' the Scarecrow asked a sad-looking man with a bushy beard, who wore an apron and was wheeling a baby carriage along the sidewalk.Why, we've had a revolution, your Majesty -- as you ought to know very well,' replied the man; 'and since you went away the women have been running things to suit themselves. I'm glad you have decided to come back and restore order, for doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City.'Hm!' said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. 'If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?'I really do not know,' replied the man, with a deep sigh. 'Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron."

Ljudsko srce je pravac, moje je kružnica,a imam i beskrajnu sposobnost da budem u pravo vrijeme na pravome mjestu.Slobodno tome, uvijek zaticem ljude u najboljen i najgorem izdanju. Vidim njihovu ružnocu i njihovu ljepotu, i pitam se kako ista stvar možebiti i jedno i drugo. Pa ipak, na jednome im zavidim.Ljudi su, ako ništa drugo, dovoljno razumni da umru."
Author: Markus Zusak

33. "Since then your sere Majesty and your Lordships seek a simple answer, I will give it in this manner, neither horned nor toothed. Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures or by clear reason (for I do not trust either in the pope or in councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. May God help me. Amen."(Reply to the Diet of Worms, April 18, 1521)"
Author: Martin Luther

Cos takiego spotykalo go po raz pierwszy w zyciu. Kazdy wie, jak trudno jest podjac pieniadze, wtedy zawsze moga sie wylonic jakies trudnosci. Ale ksiegowemu w jego trzydziestoletniej praktyce ani razu nie zdarzylo sie jeszcze, zeby ktos, wszystko jedno, czy to osoba prywatna, czy prawna, stwarzal klopoty, kiedy mu sie daje pieniadze."

36. "Poceo sam shvacati da nema te sile koja bi mogla izmijeniti sliku moje licnosti, koja je pohranjena negdje gdje se s najvišeg mjesta odlucuje o ljudskim sudbinama; shvatio sam da je ta slika (ma koliko bila neslicna meni) mnogo stvarnija od mene samoga; da nije ona kriva što mi nije slicna , nego da sam ja kriv što nisam slican njoj; da je ta neslicnost moj križ koji ne mogu stresti ni na koga, koji moram sam nositi. Ipak nisam htio kapitulirati. Htio sam nositi svoju neslicnost: biti i dalje ono za što je odluceno da nisam."

Miejsca, w których nie da sie postawic zadnej swiatyni, których ludzie unikaja, a jesli juz je odwiedza, znikaja jak najszybciej moga. Jedynie bogowie moga stapac po tych miejscach, jesli oczywiscie ktos ich do tego zmusi.- Nie wiem - rzekl Cien. - Nie sadze, by istnialo takie slowo.- Cala Ameryka jest troche taka - wyjasnil Czernobog. - To dlatego nie jestesmy tu mile widziani.

Then he made a Sour face, but only yo laugh the more."

40. "Widzenie i tak jest w wiekszosci oszustwem. Tak naprawde nie widzimy nic, w wysokiej rozdzielczosci jest tylko pare stopni tam, gdzie skupia sie oko. Reszta pola to mgla – tylko swiatlo i ruch. Ruch powoduje zogniskowanie. A nasze oczy caly czas lataja. To sie nazywa „ruchy sarkadyczne". Obraz sie rozmazuje, bo ruch jest za szybki, zeby mózg nadazyl z integrowaniem klatek, wiec miedzy przystankami oko po prostu sie wylacza. Rejestruje tylko te izolowane stop-klatki, ale mózg wycina puste kadry i montuje material, dajac mózgowi... zludzenie ciaglosci. (…) I wiesz co jest naprawde niesamowite? Jesli cos porusza sie tylko podczas tych przerw, mózg po prostu to ignoruje. To cos jest niewidzialne."

41. "The winds, the sea, and the moving tides are what they are. If there is wonder and beauty and majesty in them, science will discover these qualities...

Author: Rachel Carson

Author: Roger Zelazny

47. "The clown figure has had so many meanings in different times and cultures. The jolly, well-loved joker familiar to most people is actually but one aspect of this protean creature. Madmen, hunchbacks, amputees, and other abnormals were once considered natural clowns; they were elected to fulfill a comic role which could allow others to see them as ludicrous rather than as terrible reminders of the forces of disorder in the world. But sometimes a cheerless jester was required to draw attention to this same disorder, as in the case of King Lear's morbid and honest fool, who of course was eventually hanged, and so much for his clownish wisdom. Clowns have often had ambiguous and sometimes contradictory roles to play. ("The Last Feast Of The Harlequin")"
Author: Thomas Ligotti

48. "Be you still, be you still, trembling heart;Remember the wisdom out of the old days:Him who trembles before the flame and the flood,And the winds that blow through the starry ways,Let the starry winds and the flame and the floodCover over and hide, for he has no partWith the lonely, majestical multitude."
Author: W.B. Yeats

49. "Grownups know things, said Piggy. They ain't afraid of the dark. They'd meet and have tea and discuss. Then things 'ud be alright---They wouldn't set fire to the island. Or lose---They'd build a ship---The three boys stood in the darkness, striving unsuccessfully to convey the majesty of adult life.They wouldn't quarrel---Or break my specs---Or talk about a beast---If only they could get a message to us, cried Ralph desperately. If only they could send us something grownup. . . a sign or something."
Author: William Golding

50. "I am exalted over all the nations, my glory above the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before me; strength and glory are in my sanctuary. I wrap myself in light as with a garment; I stretch out the heavens like a tent and lay the beams of my upper chambers on their waters. I make the clouds my chariot and ride on the wings of the wind. I make winds my messengers, flames of fire my servants. The heavens declare my glory; the skies proclaim the work of my hands."
Author: Zhang Yun
