John Connolly citáty a výroky

„Z útrob Asketické jeskyně v nitru Nezajímavé hory, která se tyčí v části pekla nazývané Tady-není-nic-k-vidění-jeďte-jinam, se ozývaly kutilské zvuky. Kutilství, jak možná víte, je převážně doménou mužů. Ženy - až na světlé výjimky - kutilství neprovozují, což je i důvod, proč právě muži vynalezli kůlnu a garáž, dvě místa, kam se zpravidla uchylují za účelem provádění činností nemajících žádný konkrétní účel, vyjma toho nějak zaměstnat chlapské ruce - a pokud možno něčím, co nezahrnuje jídlo, pití ani mačkání tlačítek dálkového ovladače televizoru. Velmi zřídka přinese kutilství nějaký užitečný objev; většinou je jeho náplní opravování součástek, které dosud bezvadně fungovaly, a výsledkem situace, kdy inkriminované součástky dělají něco jiného, než by měly, popřípadě nedělají vůbec nic, takže je třeba dalšího kutilství za účelem jejich opravy; jenže ani poté nefungují tak dobře jako na začátku, takže se s nimi dál kutí, což pokračuje prakticky do chvíle, než dotyčný kutil zemře, přičemž jeho smrt mívá zhusta na svědomí rozezlená manželka, která ho umlátí nefungujícím papiňákem či kusem lednice.“

“There's a difference between living and just surviving. Do something you love, and find someone to love who loves that you love what you do.
It is really that simple.
And that hard.”

“No matter how hard Evil tries, it can never quite match up to the power of Good, because Evil is ultimately self-destructive. Evil may set out to corrupt others, but in the process corrupts itself.”
