John Irving najznámejšie citáty

„Ľudská pamäť je príšera; človek zabúda - pamäť nikdy. Všetky spomienky ukladá. Niektoré veci pre nás odkladá, iné pred nami ukrýva - po čase ich vyvoláva do nášho vedomia úplne podľa vlastnej vôle. Človek si myslí, že má pamäť, ale ona má jeho!“

John Irving

„Dajte si pozor na ľudí, ktorí sa nazývajú pobožnými; uistite sa, že viete, čo tým myslia - uistite sa, že vedia, čo myslia!“

John Irving
