“Razlika između umjetnosti i zanata je da umjetnost trpi "grešku" u formi. Poput života. Za mene umjetnost ima smisla jedino ako se pomiješa, ispreplete, stopi sa "stvarnim" životom. Inače je tek oponašanje, promašaj, vježbanje života, kič, loša gluma, bend koji svira tuđe pjesme, stakleno oko koje pilji u prazno pretvarajući se da vidi, voditelj Dnevnika na televiziji, dizajniran za ugodno priopćavanje loših vijesti i nepotrebnih informacija.”

“Razmišljam i ja ponekad o svom poreklu, naravno, ali pritom ne vidim bogomolje, simbole, ni šarene pantljike folklora kojima se kite konji Pripadnosti... (...)
Razmišljam i ja ponekad o svom poreklu, naravno, ali naše Porodično Stablo vidim samo kao mladicu na obodu Velike Šume...
Zamrznem tako likove na tajnoj večeri u bezimenoj podkarpatskoj gostionici, Sluge i Gospodare, Silne i Prepadnute, Lukave, Priglupe, Sretne...
I mislim: koji je moj? Čiji sam ja to? Na talasima čije krvi penušaju mehurići moje embrionske duše, i u čijim se venama, a da grešan ni ne sluti, koprcaju kao punoglavci moja čula i tkiva, moj fosforni skelet, i usplahireno jato mladeža?
Ali ne brinem puno o tome da li je Taj bio Srbin, Tatarin, Kozak?
Ni da li se krstio, klanjao, pisao s leva na desno?
Ne...
Brinem jedino da nije bio podlac?
Palikuća?
Bratoubica?
Ili je neko ko je sekao srce na kriške, da bude za sve...
Neko kog su uvek pitali kad o čemu treba presuditi...
I neko kome se i Bog obradovao kao dragom rođaku...
Kada mu je umoran zakucao na Nebo...”

“Razor, calm down. Say hi to our new friends."
The gremlin, now perched on Keirran's arm, turned to stare at us with blazing green eyes and started crackling like a bad radio station.
"They can't understand you, Razor," Keiran said mildly. "English."
"Oh," said the gremlin. "Right." It grinned widely, baring a mouthful of sharp teeth that glowed neon-blue. "Hiiiiiiii.”

“Razumem ja to, da Beograd mora da stigne evropske prestonice. Ali, ne može se nikada vek preskakati godinom. Ne može se pet godina stavljati uz pet vekova. Moraju tu proći decenije. Najmanje možemo vekove određivati spratovima. Žurba je veliki saveznik kajanja. Ne smemo dozvoliti da naši graditelji mrze svoj grad. Baš zato što ide iza drugih gradova, Beograd ne sme da ponavlja njihove greške. Mora se prostor prvo navići na čoveka. Ne može se, tek tako, izaći na ledinu i podići tek tako deo grada. Ako pristanem na haos, haos će zavladati mnome.”

“Razvoj tehnologije čoveku nije olakšao život. Sve je to samo privid. Nesigurno, zastrašeno, obolelo biće - čovek, i pored visokih tehnoloških dostignuća sve je usamljeniji i tužniji na zemlji. Uvlači se u sebe, pun čežnje za toplinom koja se hladi i nestaje od uzaludnih nadanja.”

“Razvojni proces, do katerega prihaja na ravni posameznika, je isti proces, ki se odvija na ravni medsebojnih odnosov med posamezniki. Ko posameznik vnese energijo pralika duhovnega partnerstva, to ne vpliva na partnerstvo, ki ga oblikuje z drugim posameznikom, ampak tudi na skupnost, narod in cel svet. Vaša odločitev, da se se boste razvijali zavestno odgovorno z izbiro, prispeva ne samo k vaši lastni evoluciji, ampak tudik evoluciji vseh tistih vidikov človeštva, v katerih sodelujete. S svojimi odločitvami se ne razvijate samo vi, marveč celotno človeštvo.”

“Raúl is a born goal-scorer. He was always in the right place at the right time. He was a great professional – one of the best to emerge from our country. His dedication, discipline and talent were superb. To talk about Raúl is to talk about a thoroughbred striker. He is, perhaps, one of the last true center forwards produced by El Salvador.”

“re: cutting glass..."You have to be in command of the glass, telling it where to release its hold on itself. Just like life. Otherwise it will splinter.”
“Re-enacting trauma means putting yourself in similar situations or places to the original trauma, or finding similar people, and to create a new narrative in an attempt, this time, to be in control, to write a new ending, one in which you are in charge, not victimised. The sex trade is the perfect place for the sexually traumatised to try unconsciously to resolve former hurt because an unending number of men want to use your body. This is one of the reasons those who have suffered sexual abuse are so prevalent in the sex trade.”

“Re-examine all you have been told. Dismiss what insults your soul.”
“re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body.

“Re-examine all you have been told,' Whitman tells us, 'and dismiss whatever insults your own soul.' Full disclosure: what insults my soul is the idea—popular in the culture just now, and presented in widely variant degrees of complexity—that we can and should write only about people who are fundamentally 'like' us: racially, sexually, genetically, nationally, politically, personally. That only an intimate authorial autobiographical connection with a character can be the rightful basis of a fiction. I do not believe that. I could not have written a single one of my books if I did. But I feel no sense of triumph in my apostasy. It might well be that we simply don’t want or need novels like mine anymore, or any of the kinds of fictions that, in order to exist, must fundamentally disagree with the new theory of 'likeness.' It may be that the whole category of what we used to call fiction is becoming lost to us. And if enough people turn from the concept of fiction as it was once understood, then fighting this transformation will be like going to war against the neologism 'impactful' or mourning the loss of the modal verb 'shall.' As it is with language, so it goes with culture: what is not used or wanted dies. What is needed blooms and spreads.”
“Re-examine what you have been told. And reject any ruinous advice.”
“Re: Google's worth exceeding that of Russian stock market. Now, that adds up to a lot of moolah...nevertheless through social (EYES) maybe they will be able to see immediate ways help solve our global dollar dilemmas of poverty and economic disparity & injustice.”
“Re-imagination is the birthplace for vision and change. Your imagination is one of the most valuable talents you have and deserves your full attention. Imagining how you want to live your life is one thing, but connecting your imagination to a visual representation will give you exactly the traction you need to make it a reality.”
“Re-imaging the future of business is exciting, but investigating the different path for unleashing business potential needs to take a systematic approach and develop it into a more solid form.”

“Re-membering is the active, radical process of healing. It is the spiritual and political work of witnessing and gathering the fragmented pieces of history, land and self to mend the bonds severed by colonialism and capitalism. It transforms the raw material of memory into the foundation for collective liberation. It is the process by which love pieces back together.”

“Re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book,and dismiss whatever insults your own soul... It is also not consistent with the reality of the soul to admit that there is anything in the known universe more divine than men and women. The master knows that he is unspeakably great and that all are unspeakably great. There will soon be no more priests... They may wait awhile, perhaps a generation or two, dropping off by degrees. A superior breed shall take their place.A new order shall arise and they shall be the priests of man,and every man shall be his own priest.”

“Re-introducing Aquaman and getting him to a place like that and then ultimately having him headline a Justice League storyline that crosses over between his book and Justice League really is the culmination of where we've been going with the character since the beginning. His role in this will change the Justice League storyline, it will change him, and it will send them both in new directions.”
