Favorite quotes (at least some of them):
-'I began to think vodka was my drink at last. It didn’t taste like anything, but it went straight down into my stomach like a sword swallowers’ sword and made me feel powerful and godlike.” - Sylvia Plath,

-'For what more terrifying revelation can there be than that it is the present moment? That we survive the shock at all is only possible because the past shelters us on one side and the future on another'.-Virginia Woolf,

-'We're always thinking of eternity as an idea that cannot be understood, something immense. But why must it be? What if, instead of all this, you suddenly find just a little room there, something like a village bath-house, grimy, and spiders in every corner, and that's all eternity is.'- Fyodor Dostoyevsky

-'I am thinking of aurochs and angels, the secret of durable pigments, prophetic sonnets, the refuge of art. And this is the only immortality you and I may share'-Nabokov

'I thought that it had to do with this profession. It belongs to the essence of being an intellectual. That one fabricates ideas about everything.' -Hannah Arendt

'Where it is decreed that enlightenment must be free of emotions? Enlightenment can properly fulfill its task only if it sets to work with passion.'-Jean Amery

-'One of the reasons why I enjoy being asleep is that I hate making decisions.'
-'Can one ever feel at home here in Jerusalem, I wonder, even if one lives here for a century?'
-'Only I refused to abandon so much as a crumb to the icy claws of time.'
-'Try to imagine the picture: You and me as brother and sister. There are so many possible relationships. A mother and her son. A hill and woods. A stone and water.'
-Amos Oz
