“People are crazy. The values of the world are crazy. What does predatory free-market capitalism care about sanity and values? Capitalism will do anything for a profit. If madness sells – which it does – capitalism will not hesitate to pander to it. Reason, logic and mathematics don’t sell, so capitalism and mainstream culture avoid them like the plague. Reason and logic are the antidote to insanity, but they are the things most rejected by an insane culture. Catch-22. That’s why the Insanity Wars can end in only one way: Cataclysm. The Dumbocalypse is almost upon us. The Dumbageddon conspiracy is going into overdrive. But from the ashes of old humanity, new humanity shall arise like the phoenix. The dawn of the HyperHuman lies on the far side of the eclipse of the dunce.”

“Yet it is also a tonic and an antidote to dullness to be with the Serbs. They possess the irresponsible gaiety that we traditionally connect with the Irish, with whom they have often been compared. Other less convenient sides of the Irish character are also typical in the Serbs, such as a cheerful contempt for punctuality in daily life and a ready willingness, arising clearly from politeness and good nature, to make promises that are not always fulfilled. But perhaps the most pronounced of these similarities is to be found in the songs of Serbia and Ireland. With both peoples the historic songs about the past are songs of sorrow, or noble struggles against overwhelming odds, of failure redeemed by unconquerable resolve. There is nothing strange in this combination of laughing gaiety and profound melancholy. It is often only those who are truly capable of the one emotion who also have the faculty for the other.”

“Pesnik se ne postaje, pesnik se rađa. On je sposoban da vidi nevidljivo, oseti neosetljivo, primeti neprimetno, zamisli nestvarno i naposletku ga pretvori u stvarnost. Pesnik nikada ne može biti u potpunosti shvaćen; on ne vidi danas ili sutra; njemu se to čini stranim, čudnim, iako su za pesnike čuda retka. On ne gleda ni na budućnost kao drugi ljudi, već poput Tvorca, sve posmatra kroz prizmu večnosti, vezujući celokupnu istoriju čovečansta u jedan jedini trenutak. Pesnik - to je glasnik budućnosti i donosilac objašnjenja iz prošlosti. Njemu je interval vremena stran; on broji osećanja, traga za novim, nesebično se trudi da poezijom predstavi stvarnost onakvom kakva je, ne kako je drugi vide. Ta je stvarnost ispunjena osećanjima, snagom, radošću, pokličima pobede ili neretko tugom. Ali, kod njega ni tuga nije obična ili krajnja. Odista, samo je pesnik sposoban da tugu pretvori u slavu.”

“Ono što ponekad vidimo, što nam otkupi i ukrade poglede, ne predstavlja istinit odraz, već samo viziju, čudnovatu fatamorganu lepote. Prava vrednost je duša, u njoj je skrivena naša spoljašnjost, naš sjaj, koji nekako nikad ne bledi, ne nestaje, dar od Boga koji, istaknut na pravi način, premašuje vidljivo i govori nam o slepilu površnosti. Uvek treba zaviriti u dušu, jer je u njoj, duboko, poput lavirinta, skrivena naša istinska lepota, naš žar, vatra i savršenstvo.”

“I kada vas gađaju kamenjem, guraju u stranu, vuku unazad, vi nastavite. Sledite svoj cilj, polako koračajte, istrpite svaku nedaću i uspeh je neminovan. Onda ćete se osvrnuti, pogledati sve njih, bednike, koji i dalje stoje na istom mestu i rade to isto drugima. Ovog puta, vas će veličati, govoreći da su oni zaslužni za vaš uspeh. Oprostite i sažalite se, neka nisu pomogli, vi ste uspeli, a oni su ostali iza vas.”
