Then come the gloomy hours, when the fire will neither burn on our hearths nor in our hearts; and all without and within is dismal, cold, and dark. Believe me, every heart has its secret sorrows, which the world knows not, and oftentimes we call a man cold, when he is only sad."

Zůstaň šílený, ale chovej se jako normální člověk. Riskni odlišnost, ale nauč se takový být, aniž si přitahoval pozornost.

“I am going to marry my novels and have little short stories for children.”
Chystám se oženit se svými romány a mít malé povídky jako děti.

Jack Kerouac (1922–1969) American writer

Kerouac, as quoted by Allen Ginsberg in The Book of Martyrdom and Artifice (2006), page 250.

“Only through our connectedness to others can we really know and enhance the self. And only through working on the self can we begin to enhance our connectedness to others.”
Pouze díky spojení s druhými můžeme skutečně poznat a posílit sebe sama. A teprve prací na sobě samém můžeme začít posilovat své propojení s ostatními.

“When you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.”
Když se směješ, směj se pořádně. A když se rozzlobíš, zlob se pořádně. Zkus být naživu. Brzy budeš mrtvý.

William Saroyan (1908–1981) American writer

Preface
The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze (1934)
Kontext: The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.

“As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment.”
Jak už to někdy bývá, okamžik se ustálil, vznášel se a zůstal mnohem déle než jen na chvíli. A zvuk se zastavil a pohyb se zastavil na mnohem, mnohem déle než na chvíli.
