Quote by Boris Pasternak

“Очаквах да срещна някакъв брутален убиец или революционен маниак палач, а не видях нито едното, нито другото. Добре е, когато човек излъже нашите очаквания, когато не съвпадне с предварителните ни представи за него. Принадлежността към определен тип е краят на човека, това е неговата присъда. Ако не може да бъде сведен до общ знаменател, ако не е прекалено ясен, значи поне наполовина съответствува на изискванията за личност. Той е свободен от себе си, постигнал е зрънце от безсмъртието.”

“Are you considering becoming a creative person? Too late, you already are one. To even call somebody "a creative person" is almost laughably redundant; creativity is the hallmark of our species. We have the sense for it; we have the curiosity for it; we have the opposable thumbs for it; we have the rhythm for it; we have the language and the excitement and the innate connection to divinity for it. If you're alive, you're a creative person. You and I and everyone you know are descended from tens of thousands of years of makers. Decorators, tinkerers, storytellers, dancers, explorers, fiddlers, drummers, builders, growers, problem-solvers, and embellishers--these are our common ancestors.”

“Instead of turning away from them (war conditions) in instinctive horror, as people seem to expect, the child may turn towards them with primitive excitement. The real danger is not that the child, caught up all innocently in the whirlpool of war, will be shocked into illness. The danger lies in the fact that the destruction ranging in the outer world may meet the very real aggressiveness ranging in the inside of the child”
