“Z czasem udaje nam się do pewnego stopnia kierować tym, co nas opanowało, w każdym razie ginie poczucie odrębności osoby i atakującego ją żywiołu i wówczas staje się oczywiste, że to my jesteśmy tym żywiołem przebudzonym, a wcześniejsze wrażenie oddzielenia osoby od natury było złudzeniem, które niknie wobec gwałtowności uderzeń porodu. Jego brutalnej silne nie sposób dłużej przeciwstawiać fikcji.
Poród pozwala zrozumieć, jak bardzo rozdęta jest nasza świadomość indywidualna. A odrzucenie tej fałszywej świadomości, choć dokonane pod biologicznym przymusem, pozwala doświadczyć przeżycia zwycięstwa, nie klęski. A także umożliwia odnalezienie dna egzystencjalnej niecki i osadzenie się w najniższym punkcie równowagi. Na pewien czas.”

“Z europejskiej perspektywy wszystko, co się tam wydarzyło, działo się zbyt daleko, by mogło zostać nazwane wojną światową. Świat leży przecież w Europie.”

“Z[If any one says that the outward world is so constituted that one cannot resist it, let him study his own feelings and movements, and see whether there are not some plausible motives to account for his approval and assent, and the inclination of his reason to a particular object. To take an illustration, suppose a man to have made up his mind to exercise self-control and refrain from sexual intercourse, and then let a woman come upon the scene and solicit him to act contrary to his resolution; she is not cause sufficient to make him break his resolution. It is just because he likes the luxury and softness of the pleasure, and is unwilling to resist it, or stand firm in his determination, that he indulges in the licentious practice. On the contrary, the same thing may happen to a man of greater knowledge and better disciplined; he will not escape the sensations and incitements; but his reason, inasmuch as it is strengthened and nourished by exercise, and has firm convictions on the side of virtue, or is near to having them, stops the excitements short and gradually weakens the lust.”

“Z irytacją czytam w celebryckich wywiadach zbanalizowany cytat z Nietzschego: „Co cię nie zabije, to cię wzmocni”. Uważam, że jest wręcz przeciwnie. To dobre doświadczenia dają nam siłę, pewność siebie i optymizm. Cierpienie ogranicza, wywołuje rysy, które wpisują się na twardy dysk naszej osobowości. I gdzieś tam pozostają, mniej lub bardziej ukryte. Gdyby miały wzmacniać, to największymi herosami winni być ludzie po Auschwitz. A nie są…”

“Z razočaranjem se da živeti. Toda biti predmet razočaranja, to je bistveno težje. Sicer pa je lažje biti ponovno ranjen, kot pod svojimi prsti znova čutiti uhajanje nečesa, kar ti pomeni vse na svetu.”

“Za drugim razem jest nudniej, bo znasz już to całe imaginarium: ręce przejeżdżające po kłosach zboża, ośnieżone górskie szczyty, fotele uszaki i półki z książkami kupowanymi na metry, kojące błękity i pastelowe róże, wszystkie te "harmonie", "dusze", "czulości", "głębie", "relacje". Przysięgam, otworzę kiedyś gabinet psychoterapii, nazwę go Psycho-Pol, w logo dam tribala i będę przyjmować pielgrzymki zblazowanych hipsterów. Albo seryjnych morderców i sfrustrowanych taksówkarzy. Niech tam, zaryzykuję.”

“Za „marne” niby prawo zgromadzania się, już dotąd setki ludzi poginęły od kul; za prawo wolnej prasy, więzienia przepełnione, za wolność stowarzyszeń tyle samo więźniów i męczenników da lud… A przecież na tych zgromadzeniach będą mowy, na które poeci i „piękne duchy” będą kręcili nosami, a w „wolnej prasie” rozsiądzie się kurierkowy blagier lub sprzedajny pismak, a w wielu stowarzyszeniach będą głupcy nudzili się z głupcami!… Czyżby lud się omylił? O nie! i tysiąckroć nie! Lud się nie omylił wołając o prawa człowieka, nie omylił się znosząc pańszczyznę i burząc Bastylię, nie omylił się nawet, wołając o konstytuanty i parlamenty burżuazyjne. To było konieczne i to musiało przyjść. I nie mylił się zrzucając z siebie obce najezdnicze jarzmo, ustanawiając własnych urzędników, biorąc w posiadanie pozór bodaj swojej zwierzchniczej władzy w państwach konstytucyjnych. I nie omyli się również i polski lud, walcząc o polską republikę demokratyczną.”
“Za neke, to nebo, sjajno kao u vatri koja ne peče, uvek je otvoreno, i lestvicama od svetlosti ljudi idu gore, anđeli silaze dole. U jednom snu i ja sam se popeo tim lestvicama; kada sam pogledao na zemlju, otkrih divnu i čudesnu stvar. Nebo je bilo poda mnom, a ja sam stajao sred doline! Tad mi postade jasno da je ono što smatramo nebom zapravo ogledalo zemlje. Pravo nebo je zemlja dole, i sve što vidimo gore samo je odraz onog što se u nama i sa nama događa.”

“Za njega bi bolje bilo, da je svakom grehu njegovom odmah sledovala i sigurna, brza kazna. U kazni je bilo nečega što čisti.

“Za pilota ova je noć bila bez obala, jer nije vodila ni prema luci (sve su se činile nedostižnima), ni prema zori; benzina će ponestati za sat i četrdeset. Prije ili kasnije, bit će primorani naslijepo utonuti u onu tminu.
Kad bi bar mogao izdržati do zore...
Fabien je mislio na zoru kao na kakav zlaćani pješčani žal, gdje bi se nasukali nakon ove teške noći. Pod zrakoplovom u opasnosti rodila bi se obala ravnica. Mirna bi zemlja nosila svoja usnula domaćinstva, stada i obronke. Sve olupine što su se valjale u sjeni postale bi bezazlene. Da je mogao, kako bi samo zaplivao prema jutru!
Pomisli da je opkoljen. Sve će se svršiti, dobro ili loše, u ovoj gluhoj noći.”

“Zabýváme se ještě problémem modlářství my? Jedině když zjistíme, že nějací „primitivové" uctívají kamenné a dřevěné modly. Jsme přesvědčeni, že my sami jsme něco takového dávno překonali, poněvadž nevidíme ve společnosti uctívání žádných tradičních symbolů modlářství. Zapomínáme, že podstatou modlářství není uctívání té či oné modly, ale že jde o specifický lidský postoj. Tento přístup lze popsat jako zbožštění věcí či částečných aspektů světa a podřizování se takovým věcem. Opakem je přístup, kdy věnujeme život uskutečnění nejvyšších principů lidské existence, lásce a rozumu, abychom se stali tím, kým potenciálně jsme, bytostí stvořenou k podobě Boží. Modly nejsou pouze sochy z kamene či dřeva. Slova se mohou stát modlou a stroje se mohou stát modlou. Také vůdci, stát, moc a politické skupiny se jí mohou stát. Věda a názor druhého člověka se mohou stát modlou a pro řadu lidí se stal modlou Bůh.”

“Zac Efron is like a brother who's just goofy and crazy. He plays a lot of practical jokes.”
“Zac Efron is my obsession, we're the same person. We're not actually here, it's like Janet and Michael Jackson. He just puts on his wig and a dress, and it's me, and you don't know that. It's one of the greatest mysteries of all time.”
“Zac Efron would make us feel guilty for eating big dinners. He'd say, 'Do you really want to eat those carbs?' It was like, 'Thanks a lot!'”
“Zach finally acknowledges me when my elbow smacks against his side as I shove my way between him and Rachel. He straightens and mumbles so only I can hear, “Damn, she gives me a hard-on. Gorgeous, and she knows cars.”
“I suggest you back the f*ck off,” I mutter.
Zach smirks. > “Hey, you’re the one that left her here with me.”
“What are you guys talking about?” Rachel asks.
“Cars,” I say. “You said you needed to be home by ten. It’s nine-thirty.”
She blinks as if she just woke up. “Crap. Already?”
I step aside so Rachel can exit the driver’s seat. Because Rachel is every guy’s fantasy, Zach begs her to stay: she should see the engine, she can ride in his car, she can drive his car. Each of his attempts to lure her to stay causes me to think of one more way to hide the body parts after I kill him.”

“Zach found himself remembering something he'd heard Soledad and Leo saying the previous night, about healing. That it was mysterious. That it took time. And that Lucy was just at the beginning. That a terrible thing had happened - two terrible things, really - but they were now over. And that Lucy would be okay, in the end.”
“Zach Galifianakis is a comic force of nature! He is terrific. He digs down here and delivers a beautifully nuanced performance that gets under your skin. Just like the movie.”

“Zach Nies suggests going even further, segmenting customers into three groups. “‘A customers’ are your really big customers who negotiated a big discount and expect the world from you. ‘B customers’ are customers who are fairly low maintenance, didn’t get a big discount, see themselves as partners with you, and provide useful insights. ‘C customers’ cause trouble, are a pain to deal with, and demand things from you that you feel will damage your business,” he explains. “Don’t spend too much time on the A’s—they sound good but aren’t the best for your business. Bring as many Bs on as customers as possible. And try to get your ‘C customers’ to be customers of your competitors.”

“Zach's eyelids flutter and droop, his mind a pleasant jumble—things said tonight, last year, last month, things said in dreams. He sees Lev, Tasha, Rachel, and something he read earlier, what was it? In one of Rachel's books, circled in pen, a book of Natural History. 'Many birds and mammals, wolves in particular, have a—' What? Oh yes. '—a fateful preference for the ancestral nesting place.' And Rachel wrote in the margin: 'Ha ha ha! It has a strange attraction!”

“Zach's eyes flash with light, caught by the peculiar greenness of early summer grass and the strobe effect of sun through wrought-iron fencing and trees. He kicks at dust and gravel with his unlaced desert boots, cricket spikes slung around his neck by the laces, his tread lazy and ostentatious, full of close-of-play sensuality.”

“Zach," Seth greeted him cautiously. "I'm surprised you joined us."
"Apparently, he's an enigma," Marcus drawled, the words dripping with sarcasm.
Seth actually felt the urge to smile.

“Zach, this isn't a game, you know. I don't just write it. I live it. I'm a Domme, a female Dominant. There aren't a lot of us around. Most Dominants are men. Technically I'm Switch since I can top and bottom, but if I show up on your doorstep, get ready to say ouch. I'm not good at it - I'm amazing at it. So good at it that I'm as famous down here for my skills with a whip as I am in the straight world for my skills with a pen.”

“Zach walked away, but I stood there for a long time, wondering if I should go to my mother; if I should go to my friends; but instead I slipped into the corridors I hadn't used in months, pushed my way through cobwebs and darkness, trying to walk away from the tears that burned hot down my cheeks, because maybe I didn't want to admit weakness; maybe I wanted to wallow in my solitude and grief. Or maybe crying is like everything else we do—it's best if you don't get caught.”
“Zach,” I said as I lay there “Where did you go? When you were looking for me?” I shifted in his arms, looked into his eyes. “Crazy.” His voice was a whisper against my skin. “I went crazy.”
