Quote by Йоана Йорданова

“Драсканиците и знаците по стените вероятно са направени нарочно, но по някакъв странен, откачен начин изглеждат като гласове, пълни с отчаяние. Както когато нещо те притиска отвътре и ти се иска да изкрещиш, но не можеш и единственото, което ти остава е да го издраскаш някъде, защото не издържаш.”

“There is a faltering scream, or something that sounds like a scream. There is a sound that I cannot or have never been able to identify: a sound that's not human or is more than human, the sound of lives being extinguished but also the sound of material things breaking. It's the sound of things falling from on high, an interrupted and somehow also eternal sound, a sound that didn't ever end, that kept ringing in my head from that very afternoon and still shows no sign of wanting to leave it, that is forever suspended in my memory, hanging in it like a towel on a hook. That sound is the last thing heard in the cockpit of Flight 965.”

“Dying with hopelessness is to die in despair. Hope is to know the certainty of uncertainness. It is not to quantify the uncertainness as this act itself is the act in despair, but it is to know the certainty of the existence of uncertainness. To know how certain is the ‘uncertain’. The temporality of existence is uncertain, and to know the certainty of that uncertainness is to know the inevitability of death.”

“When all is said and done I think the story tells us that hope is the heroes domain, not the fools. Because we dare to hope, even when doing so might undo us. We leave the worlds we create behind us, swirling in our wakes, eternal and effervescent with the beauty of our aspirations.”

“(...) grinding your teeth in silent impotence to sink into luxurious inertia, brooding in the fact that there is no one even got you to feel vindictive against, that you have not, and perhaps will never have, an object of your spite, that it is a sleight of hand, a bit of juggling, a card-sharper's trick, that it is simply a mess, no knowing what and no knowing who, but in spite of all these uncertainties and jugglings, still there is an ache in you, and the more you do not know, the worse the ache.”

“Les souvenirs mal enfouis vous torturent et s'enfuient par votre bouche just lorsqu'ils ne devraient pas. Et viennent l'agressivité, la rancune, la douleur, toutes les choses punies de solitude et d'isolement car les gens en ont peur. Ils se sentent menacés et vous restez éternellement dans votre cellule et votre rancœur avec la lumière d'éspérance. [Badly buried memories torture you and leak out of your mouth just when they shouldn't. Then comes the anger, the resentment, the pain, all the things punished by seclusion and isolation, because people are afraid of them. They feel threatened, and you remain forever in your prison cell and your bitterness, with a glimmer of hope]”
