Quote by Rimantas Kmita

“Mes juk visi užaugom šaly, kur vabščie nieka gera nebuva, jau nekalbant, ka būtų kas originalaus. Pobeda nuo amerikonų. Volga nuknista nuo amerikonų. Žiags nuo italų. Apie maskaradą su Zapu vien pagalvojus silpna, be i tie lygtais irgi nuo tų pačių italų - i nuo kada italai geriausias mašinas dara? Senis Šaltis nuo Santa Klaua nuimts. Nu, pogodi, geriausias multiks, nuo Toma i Džeria. Čipolins čia virta Buratinu, o daktars Dolitlis - daktaru Aibolitu. O jūs bandien palygint motorolerius Vitka i Vespa ? Atskiriat? Aš tai ne. Nu tai va. Jaučiu, net Sibira lageriai nuo Hitlerio nuimti.”

Calma, calma señor alcalde. El Ejército lamenta muchísimo el percance de su cuñada y hará cuanto pueda para resarcirla. —¿Ahora le llaman percance al estupro? —se desconcierta el padre Beltrán—. Porque eso es lo que fue. —A Florcita la agarraron dos uniformados viniendo de la chacra y se la montaron en plena trocha —se come las uñas y brinca en el sitio el alcalde Teófilo Morey—. Con tan buena puntería que ahora está encinta, general.”

“Sometimes they opened a book and closed it again; what was the point? On other days they had the idea of tidying up the garden, but after a quarter of an hour they felt tired; or of looking at their farm, but they came back sick at heart; or doing household jobs, but Germaine cried out in protest; they gave up.”

“Many a time, we live life without having access to the thoughts of how the hours of yesterday were spent. This comes to play because of lack of self-analysis and does not help in any way to create the excellence we claim to pursue.”

“The deep down question is: Where do you put your attention? (which is the only resource we really have in the end). Where do you invest your attention? And does that make life better for you, for people you care about, for your community, or for communities that may be distant from you but that you care about a lot for whatever reason?”

“There are at least two sets of Rules for Life, as far as I can tell. There are the ones that get you picked up by the cops or taken to the assistant principal's office if you break them: Don't leave school grounds, don't spray paint stop signs, don't drink, ,don't drop firecrackers in the toliets. But there's a different set that you really can't break if you don't want your life to suck relentlessly. At the head of the list, Rule Number One: Don't get noticed. As long as you stay exactly the person everyone thinks you're supposed to be, you're fine.”
