“To je bio divalj čovek. Meni je to lakrdijanje. Sva ta priča. Odakle se on pojavio? Kao da niko tada nije brinuo o tome. Neartikulisan. Pisao je polujasno, nebulozno. Kad, počeli su da mu pridaju pažnju. Sreli smo se, ko zna. On je znao, ja sam znao, da ta knjiga ništa ne valja. Bilo je komično, zaluđivali smo budale po gradovima i selima. Nije bili ničega, tekst je patio od nedorečenosti. Neverovatna tlapnja. Izučavao sam imena. Šta možeš kad se zoveš Srđan Srdić. Ne možeš ništa.”

“To je isto kao kad se jedan čovjek ima popeti uz pet nižih stepenica a drugi samo uz jednu, koja je međutim za njega isto tako visoka kao svih onih pet zajedno; prvi će savladati ne samo onih pet nego i stotine i tisuće drugih stepenica, on će proživjeti velik i vrlo naporan život, ali ni jedna od stepenica uz koje se popeo neće za njega imati onakvo značenje kakvo je za onoga drugoga imala ona jedna, prva, visoka stepenica, uz koju on nema snage popeti se, uz koju se ne može popeti i s koje, naravno, ne može ni sići.”
“To je ona ljudska sklonost, ispunjena olovnim samosažaljenjem, da se svaka stvar, svaki vedar i svijetao životni trenutak, zagorča uvjerenjem kako ti netko čini nepravdu, kako nisi nagrađen po svojim zaslugama i kako, sve u svemu, jadnijega i nesretnijeg od sebe okolo i ne vidiš. Tako se kvari vlastiti život, zamara se i ojađuje bližnje; tako se ostaje sam, jer je s ogorčenima teško živjeti. To ja o sebi znam, i to je također moj identitet.”

“To je ono zbog čega sam skoro poludeo. Svi koji su došli na groblje mogli su da uđu u kola i uključe radio i sve, a zatim da odu da ručaju na neko lepo mesto - svi osim Elija.”
“To je poput reinkarnacije - ljudi koji vjeruju u prošle živote uvijek misle da su bili vojvode ili kraljice ili nešto slično, zanemarujući činjenicu da je većina ljudi u to doba provodila cijeli život u govnima do koljena sve dok ne bi umrli u krezuboj starosti od trideset godina.”

“To je zabluda. Knjiga ne može da zameni svet. To je nemogućno. U životu sve ima svoj smisao i svoj zadatak koji ne mogu bez ostatka biti ispunjeni nečim drugim. Nije mogućno, na primer, proživeti nešto posredstvom nekog zamenika. Tako je i sa svetom i knjigom. Pokušavamo da život zatvorimo u knjige kao pticu pevačicu u kavez. Ali, u tome ne uspevamo. Naprotiv! Čovek od knjiških apstrakcija ne izgrađuje ništa drugo nego sistem u vidu kaveza za sebe.”
“To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter.”
“To jedyny w świecie lud, który chce tylko pokoju. Żadna wojna nie wybuchała przez Cygana. Nie chcemy walczyć, bo się boimy. Bo kochamy życie. Bo o co mamy się bić? Cygan nie wie, co to bój o idee. Taka mentalność to błąd, przez nią nie mamy państwa.”

“To Jesus Christ I commend my soul; Lord Jesus receive my soul.”
“To Jim Duggan, taking a shower is a high risk maneuver.”
“To Jo's lively fancy, this fine house seemed a kind of enchanted palace, full of splendors and delights which no one enjoyed. She had long wanted to behold these hidden glories, and to know the "Laurence boy," who looked as if he would like to be known, if he only ever knew how to begin.”

“To John Cena after the fans kept throwing his shirt back in the ring : They didn't throw my shirt back.”
“To join the company of women, to be adults, we go through a period of proudly boasting of having survived our own mother's indifference, anger, overpowering love, the burden of her pain, her tendency to drink or teetotal, her warmth or coldness, praise or criticism, sexual confusions or embarrassing clarity. It isn't enough that she sweat, labored, bore her daughters howling or under total anesthesia or both. No. She must be responsible for our psychic weaknesses the rest of her life. It is alright to feel kinship with your father, to forgive. We all know that. But your mother is held to a standard so exacting that it has no principles. She simply must be to blame.”

“To join the others was to care, and to care was to live and to suffer.”

“To journalists my move from comics to films to best-selling novels was resembling those little evolutionary maps too much, where you see the fish, and then it can walk, and then it's an ape and then it gets up on its hind legs and finally it is a man. I didn't like that. I didn't like the fact that there was something rather amphibious about me - at least in their heads - back when I was writing comics. So I like continuing to write comics, if only because it points out that I haven't just started to walk upright or left the water.”
“To journey for the sake of saving our own lives is little by little to cease to live in any sense that really matters, even to ourselves, because it is only by journeying for the world's sake - even when the world bores and sickens and scares you half to death - that little by little we start to come alive.”

“To journey to Hell means to become Hell oneself.”
Source: The Red Book: Liber Novus
“To journey without being changed, is to be a nomad. To change without journeying is to be a chameleon. To journey and to be transformed by the journeying is to be a pilgrim.”
“To joy in conquest is to joy in the loss of human life.”

“To Judaism Christians ascribe the glory of having been the first religion to teach a pure monotheism. But monotheism existed long before the Jews attained to it. Zoroaster and his earliest followers were monotheists, dualism being a later development of the Persian theology. The adoption of monotheism by the Jews, which occurred only at a very late period in their history, was not, however, the result of a divine revelation, or even of an intellectual superiority, for the Jews were immeasurably inferior intellectually to the Greeks and Romans, to the Hindus and Egyptians, and to the Assyrians and Babylonians, who are supposed to have retained a belief in polytheism. This monotheism of the Jews has chiefly the result of a religious intolerance never before equaled and never since surpassed, except in the history of Christianity and Mohammedanism, the daughters of Judaism. Jehovistic priests and kings tolerated no rivals of their god and made death the penalty for disloyalty to him. The Jewish nation became monotheistic for the same reason that Spain, in the clutches of the Inquisition, became entirely Christian.”

“To judge between good or bad, between successful and unsuccessful would take the eye of a God.”
“To judge by the event is an error all commit: for in every instance courage, if crowned with success, is heroism; if clouded by defeat, temerity. When Nelson fought his battle in the Sound, it was the result alone that decided whether he was to kiss a hand at court or a rod at a court-martial.”

“To judge by what my children are learning in school, you'd think American history was 75 percent slavery and 25 percent everything else (and that 25 percent includes a large dollop of imperialism, racism, sexism and homophobia, leaving little time for Lincoln, Edison, Clay, Holmes, Alcott, Dickinson, Adams, Longfellow or Fulton).”

“To judge sins is the business of one who is sinless, but who is sinless except God? Who ever thinks about the multitude of his own sins in his heart never wants to make the sins of others a topic of conversation. To judge a man who has gone astray is a sign of pride, and God resists the proud. On the other hand, one who every hour prepares himself to give answer for his own sins will not quickly lift up his head to examine the mistakes of others.”
“To judge someone before understanding that person is a form of human rejection and feeds upon itself. It intensifies personal insecurities, necessitating more judgment (prejudice) and less understanding. The processes continue in this vicious cycle.”
“To judge someone is to miss the divinity in that person, to think of them as less than who they really are. To judge is simply to project our own limitations onto another. When we feel compassion for our own limitations, for our own humanity, we never judge others. When we are conscious of our own greatness, we see the greatness of others.”
