Quote by Boris Vian

“— Водна лилия — промълви Колин. — Откъде ли я е прихванала?… — Водна лилия ли има? — попита недоверчиво Никола. — Да, в десния бял дроб — отвърна Колин. — Отначало професорът смяташе, че е някакво животно. А ето какво излезе. Видяхме я на екрана. Вече е доста голяма, но сигурно ще успеем да се преборим. — Не можете да си представите какво ми е — изхлипа Клое. — Толкова ме боли, когато тя мърда!”

“My favorite words in the world are these: “what” and “if” in conjunction. They question curiosities in simple form and function. “What” is a query of broadest scope. “If" is wonder that fuels all hope. Together they lasso the mind like rope, and spur the wildest deductions!”

“The human mind’s innate ability to imagine and create ensures that we never remain stalled out in who we are. We constantly seek to amend our circumference and circumstances, craft and redraft our emotional, social, political, economic, and artistic being.”

“She opened her eyes slowly and saw that a pale lavender moth had come to a rest on the back of her hand. She watched it from her pillow, wondering if it was real. It reminded her of her husband Matt's favorite T-shirt, which she'd hidden in a bag of sewing, unable to throw it away. It had a large faded moth on the front, the logo of a cover band out of Athens called the Mothballs. That T-shirt, that moth, always brought back a strange memory of when she was a child. She used to draw tattoos of butterflies on her arms with Magic Markers. She would give them names, talk to them, carefully fill in their colors when they started to fade. When the time came that they wanted to be set free, she would blow on them and they would come to life, peeling away from her skin and flying away.”
