And then it changes suddenly; and is dark and sorrowful, and clouds shut out the sky. In the lives of the saddest of us, there are bright days like this, when we feel as if we could take the great world in our arms and kiss it. 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."

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.

“Stay mad, but behave like normal people. Run the risk of being different, but learn to do so without attracting attention.”
Zostaň šialený, ale správaj sa ako normálny človek. Riskni odlišnosť, ale nauč sa taký byť bez toho, aby si priťahoval pozornosť.

“I am going to marry my novels and have little short stories for children.”
Chystám sa vziať si svoje romány a malé poviedky budú naše deti.

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.”
Iba prostredníctvom nášho spojenia s druhými môžeme skutočne spoznať a posilniť samých seba. A len prostredníctvom práce na sebe môžeme začať posilňovať svoje prepojenie s ostatnými.

“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.”
Keď sa smeješ, smej sa ako peklo. A keď sa hneváš, hnevaj sa poriadne. Skúste žiť naplno, pretože čoskoro umrieš.

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.

“To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.”
Byť odvážnym znamená milovať niekoho bezpodmienečne a bez toho, aby sme niečo chceli na oplátku. Len dávať. To si vyžaduje odvahu, pretože nechceme padnúť na zem alebo byť zraniteľní.

“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.”
Ako to niekedy býva, chvíľa sa ustálila, vznášala sa a zostala oveľa dlhšie ako chvíľu. A zvuk sa zastavil a pohyb sa zastavil na oveľa, oveľa dlhšie ako na chvíľu.
