“Een bibliotheek is een eenvoudiger soort maatschappij, een idealer soort maatschappij ook. Het mag er allemaal naast en door elkaar bestaan. Alles is er even marginaal. Het zijn allemaal boeken, dat is het enige wat ze gemeen hebben, en ze staan allemaal rechtop, rug aan rug, dat is de solidariteit van een bibliotheek. En toch zijn ze allemaal onderling verschillend, want twee keer hetzelfde boek koop je niet.”
― Herman de Coninck, Over de troost van pessimisme: Essays

“Talking nonsense is the sole privilege mankind possesses over the other organisms. It's by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! I talk nonsense, therefore I'm human”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
― Bob Marley

“They say ignorance is bliss.... they're wrong ”
