Anatole France
Một người đau chân có lúc nào quên được cái chân đau của mình để nghĩ đến một cái gì khác đâu? Khi người ta khổ quá thì người ta chẳng còn nghĩ gì đến ai được nữa. Cái bản tính tốt của người ta bị những nỗi lo lắng, buồn đau ích kỷ che lấp mất...
Nam Cao
Te-am iubit aşa cum m-ai iubit şi tu, ca un nebun, ca un strigoi, fără să înţeleg ce fac, fără să înţeleg ce se întâmplă cu noi, de ce am fost ursiţi să ne iubim fără să ne iubim, de ce am fost ursiţi să ne căutăm fără să ne întâlnim...
Mircea Eliade
I always thought that life was about standing your ground, no matter how strong the current was. But going with the flow isn't so bad after all. As long as it takes you forward.
Ai Yazawa
To love someone, why do you need society's approval and permission?
Ai Yazawa
Will’s eyes met Tessa’s as she came closer, almost tripping again over the torn hem of her gown. For a moment, they were in perfect understanding. Jem was what they could still look each other straight in the eye about. On the topic of Jem, they were both fierce and unyielding. Tessa saw Will’s hand tighten on Jem’s sleeve. “She’s here,” he said. Jem’s eyes opened slowly. Tessa fought to keep the look of shock from her face. His pupils were blown out, his irises a thin ring of silver around the black. “Ni shou shang le ma, quin ai de?” he whispered.

Douglas R. Hofstadter (Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid)
If you're that obsessed with someone, why would you kill her? Humans are full of contradictions.
Ai Yazawa
Do you—do you think I want to—do you think I give a—I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!" Harry roared. "You will," said Dumbledore sadly. "Because you are not nearly as mad at me as you ought to be. If you are to attack me, as I know you are close to doing, I would like to have thoroughly earned it.
J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter, #5))

O iubire terminată e o mahmureală groaznică,pe care te juri că n-o să mai faci asta vreodată pentru că nu mai ai putere-şi oricum,undeva,cândva,la un colţ de plajă,pe o alee sau pe toboganul nu mai ştiu cărei zile te aşteaptă un sac de iubire gata să ţi se spargă din nou în cap.
Tudor Chirilă

Hey Nana, If Cinderella's glass slipper fits so perfectly, I wonder why it fell off along the way? I can't help but think that it was on purpose, to attract the prince's affections. No matter what I do, I'll still have the fate of a girl who just keeps getting hurt, wondering if she can be happy in this pointless, one man show?
Ai Yazawa
In this sleepless night, as the darkness advances, look up at the sky and somehow remember that somewhere in this wide world, there are always people who love you, and people who need you. Because every person can't go on living alone.

Marin Sorescu (Iona)
Eu nu pot să nu te iubesc. Tu nu ştii de ce, şi nu ţi-o pot spune, şi cu toate astea chipul tău, umbra ce-ai aruncat-o pe pânza gândurilor mele este singura fericire ce am avut-o în lume.

Există o limită a rezistenţei în fiecare. Când e atinsă, nu mai ai poftă să te justifici.
Octavian Paler (Un om norocos)
Tu n’es encore pour moi qu’un petit garçon tout semblable à cent mille petits garcons. Et je n’ai pas besoin de toi. Et tu n’as pas besoin de moi non plus. Je ne suis pour toi qu’un renard semblable à cent mille renards. Mais, si tu m’apprivoises, nous aurons besoin l’un de l’autre. Tu seras pour moi unique au monde. Je serai pour toi unique au monde.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Le Petit Prince)
People can't be just tied together. They have to connect. Otherwise, they'll find themselves bound hand and foot.
Ai Yazawa
Prediction Machines is not a recipe for success in the AI economy. Instead, we emphasize trade-offs. More data means less privacy. More speed means less accuracy. More autonomy means less control.
Ajay Agrawal (Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence)
People can have lovers, they can have friends, they can be together. But when you think about it, you'll see that originally... we're alone.
Ai Yazawa
Mă întreb, bunăoară, dacă nu cumva în ziua când am început să iubesc nu s-a întâmplat ceva lângă mine, ceva pe care eu nu l-am văzut sau pe care nu l-am înțeles și prin ignorarea căruia m-am abandonat, fără luciditate, cu totul iresponsabil, întâmplărilor. Te trezesti că ai devenit ceva, aproape fără să-ți mai amintești începuturile acestei transformări.
Mircea Eliade (Nuntă în cer)
Let’s get to know each other. My name’s William, William More, but you can call me Willy. I’m an engineer-chemist who graduated from MIT. So . . . but you’re all alike to me . . . of course, you would be . . . you’re robots. And all your names are that sort of, um . . . codes, technical numbers . . . I need some marker where I can pick you out. Well, well, to you I’ll call . . .,” and Willy pondered for a moment, “Gumball, yes, Gumball! Do you mind?” “No, sir, actually no,” CSE-TR-03 said, agreeing with its new given name. “Ah, that’s wonderful. And then you’re Darwin,” Willy said, accosting the second robot. “Look what a nice name—Darwin! What do you say, eh?” “What can I say, sir? I like it,” CSE-TR-02 agreed too. “Yes, a human name with a past . . . You and Gumball . . . are from the same family, the Methanesons!” “It turns out thus, sir,” Darwin confirmed its family belonging. “And you’re like Larry. You’re Larry. Do you know that?” More addressed the next robot in line. “Yes, sir, just now I learned that,” the third robot said, accepted its name as well.
Todor Bombov (Homo Cosmicus 2: Titan: A Science Fiction Novel)
Maybe I’m just farsighted. The further away something is, the better I can see it but once it gets close, I lose sight of it.
Ai Yazawa
La première fois que je vous ai vue, je me suis fait une piètre opinion de vous. Je vous croyais sans jugeote et sans caractère, incapable de tenir jusqu'au mariage. Ça restera à jamais la plus grosse erreur de ma vie.
Christelle Dabos (Les Disparus du Clairdelune (La Passe-Miroir, #2))
Xét cho cùng, ở đời ai cũng khổ. Người khổ cách này, người cách khác. Bí quyết là biết tìm cái vui trong cái khổ. Vì chỉ sống thôi cũng đã quý lắm rồi. Người ta không bao giờ nên phí phạm cái sống, coi thường sự sống.
Thạch Lam
I want to be spoiled like a child. Cry to my heart's content. But I can only suppress my feelings...
Ai Yazawa
Hey Nana, do you remember the first time we met? I beleive in things like fate. So I think it was fate.
Ai Yazawa (Nana, Vol. 1)
I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.
Alan M. Turing (Computing machinery and intelligence)
Cinta seperti sesuatu yang mengendap-endap di belakangmu. Suatu saat tiba-tiba kau baru sadar cinta telah datang menyergapmu tanpa peringatan.
Winna Efendi (Ai)
Maybe the flies knew we were leaving. Maybe they were happy for us.
Eli Wilde (Orchard of Skeletons)
You were a stray cat, strutting so free and full of pride. But I could see your open wound. And without really thinking I just chalked it up to another cool thing about you. I never realized how much you hurt.
Ai Yazawa
Todavia era demasiado joven para saber que la memoria del corazón elimina los malos recuerdos y magnifica los buenos, y que gracias a ese artificio logramos sobrellevar el pasado.
Gabriel García Márquez (L'amore ai tempi del colera)
They say that only very good friends quarrel. But at the end of the day a quarrel is a fight between two people’s egos. Since people cannot understand each other by just being honest. May be its impossible to live your whole life without getting hurt but don’t hurt the people close to you.
Ai Yazawa
So you have to accept facts as fact.
Ai Yazawa
A woman's happiness is in throwing everything away to live for love.
Ai Yazawa (Paradise Kiss, Vol. 5)
I feel the same way about all my friends. To me, the exact relationship between me and someone else doesn't matter much.But people want to label everything...so I guess I seem indifferent in that way. ---Yasu
Ai Yazawa (Nana, Vol. 17)
He dropped his voice, so low that Tessa wasn’t sure if what he said next was real or part of the dream darkness rising to claim her, though she fought against it. “I’ve never minded it,” he went on. “Being lost, that is. I had always thought one could not be truly lost if one knew one’s own heart. But I fear I may be lost without knowing yours.” He closed his eyes as if he were bone-weary, and she saw how thin his eyelids were, like parchment paper, and how tired he looked. “Wo ai ni, Tessa,” he whispered. “Wo bu xiang shi qu ni.” She knew, without knowing how she knew, what the words meant. I love you. And I don’t want to lose you.
Cassandra Clare
Giá mà lúc mình buồn như tận thế Có một ai bấm máy gọi cho mình Mình sẽ khóc mặc thân sơ quen lạ Quên dặt dè mà thổ lộ linh tinh Giá mà lúc lòng mình đang yếu đuối Có một ai yên lặng nắm tay mình Thì có lẽ mình sẽ mang tình đó Mà thương hoài với một dạ đinh ninh Giá mà lúc mình đau như dao cắt Có một ai chợt nói nhớ mong mình Mình sẽ tự băng vết thương rớm máu Gượng bước về nơi hẹn cũ nghe mưa Giá mà lúc mình rơi vào đáy vực Hết trông mong hy vọng hết cả rồi Có ai đó bảo mình không sao cả Mình sẽ bò theo dấu vết sông trôi Giá mà lúc mình đang yêu, người đó Gửi tin vui lên những ánh sao trời Thì có lẽ mình sẽ không lưu lạc Suốt một đời đau đáu cố nhân ơi! (Gía mà lúc)
Nguyễn Thiên Ngân (Mình Phải Sống Như Mùa Hè Năm Ấy)
Please leave me something...even one memory would be enough.
Ai Yazawa
Many things happened in my life, and I thought that they changed me. But in the end, nothing has changed since I was seventeen. If I could keep today’s happiness I wouldn’t worry about tomorrow. 
Ai Yazawa (Nana, Vol. 1)
I wasn't really able to love someone but I couldn't help but want to be loved.
Ai Yazawa (Nana, Vol. 4)
Even if you fulfill your hearts desire, by sacrificing something important, you may not necessarily be happy. Happiness doesn’t come in one form, it determined by your own heart.
Ai Yazawa
Vivienne Westwood, The Sex Pistols, Seven Stars, coffee with milk and strawberry cake. And Ren flowers. Nana's favorite things never change. It was so cool for someone like me who keeps on changing their mind.
Ai Yazawa (Nana, Vol. 2)
Tôi chẳng hiểu Binô thích tôi ở điểm nào. Binô là một đứa bạn thú vị. Trong khi ngược lại, tôi là một đứa nhạt nhẽo. Có lẽ nó thích tôi chỉ vì tôi thích nó. Con người chắc cũng vậy: đôi khi bạn yêu mến một ai đó đơn giản chỉ vì người đó thật lòng yêu mến bạn. Tâm hồn chúng ta được sinh ra là để chờ đáp lại niềm yêu mến đến từ một tâm hồn khác. Nó giống như chiếc ống sáo, sẵn sàng reo lên khi ngọn gió mùa hè thổi qua.
Nguyễn Nhật Ánh (Tôi Là Bêtô)
Ni muer ni viu ni no guaris, Ni mal no·m sent e si l’ai gran, Quar de s’amor no suy devis, Ni no sai si ja n’aurai ni quan, Qu’en lieys es tota le mercés Que·m pot sorzer o decazer.” “Not dying nor living nor healing, there is no pain in my sickness, for I am not kept from her love. I don’t know if I will ever have it, for all the mercy that makes me flourish or decay is in her power.
Deborah Harkness (A Discovery of Witches (All Souls, #1))
Dia ada di sisimu setiap kali kau membutuhkannya, tapi apa kau ada di sisinya saat dia paling membutuhkanmu? Apa hubungan semacam ini yang kau sebut persahabatan?
Winna Efendi (Ai)
Having someone you love say "Thank you" is more rewarding than just having them say "I love you.
Ai Yazawa (Nana, Vol. 20)
I want to protect my own happiness. I'm not an angel. I'm just a normal girl.
Ai Yazawa (天使なんかじゃない―完全版 1 [Tenshi nanka janai - Kanzenban 1])
I wanted to have a good relationship. One that's romantic and dramatic, like in the movies. But I finally became a woman at 17 and learned that men aren't really that simple.
Ai Yazawa (Nana, Vol. 1)
People worry that computers will get too smart and take over the world, but the real problem is that they're too stupid and they've already taken over the world.
Pedro Domingos
Wanted, wanted: Dolores Haze. Hair: brown. Lips: scarlet. Age: five thousand three hundred days. Profession: none, or "starlet" Where are you hiding, Dolores Haze? Why are you hiding, darling? (I Talk in a daze, I walk in a maze I cannot get out, said the starling). Where are you riding, Dolores Haze? What make is the magic carpet? Is a Cream Cougar the present craze? And where are you parked, my car pet? Who is your hero, Dolores Haze? Still one of those blue-capped star-men? Oh the balmy days and the palmy bays, And the cars, and the bars, my Carmen! Oh Dolores, that juke-box hurts! Are you still dancin', darlin'? (Both in worn levis, both in torn T-shirts, And I, in my corner, snarlin'). Happy, happy is gnarled McFate Touring the States with a child wife, Plowing his Molly in every State Among the protected wild life. My Dolly, my folly! Her eyes were vair, And never closed when I kissed her. Know an old perfume called Soliel Vert? Are you from Paris, mister? L'autre soir un air froid d'opera m'alita; Son fele -- bien fol est qui s'y fie! Il neige, le decor s'ecroule, Lolita! Lolita, qu'ai-je fait de ta vie? Dying, dying, Lolita Haze, Of hate and remorse, I'm dying. And again my hairy fist I raise, And again I hear you crying. Officer, officer, there they go-- In the rain, where that lighted store is! And her socks are white, and I love her so, And her name is Haze, Dolores. Officer, officer, there they are-- Dolores Haze and her lover! Whip out your gun and follow that car. Now tumble out and take cover. Wanted, wanted: Dolores Haze. Her dream-gray gaze never flinches. Ninety pounds is all she weighs With a height of sixty inches. My car is limping, Dolores Haze, And the last long lap is the hardest, And I shall be dumped where the weed decays, And the rest is rust and stardust.
Vladimir Nabokov (Lolita)
Tôi vẫn nhớ mẹ thường nay nói với tôi, khi một ai đó buồn, họ cần rất nhiều người để chia sẻ. Nỗi buồn chỉ vơi đi bằng tình thương chú không có một phương thuốc nào hết. Khi chia sẻ một nỗi buồn, chúng ta sẽ không buồn hơn nhưng người khác lại vui hơn. Và đừng bao giờ quay lưng lại với một con người như vậy. Họ cần những khuôn mặt hơn là những viên thuốc. Họ cần những bàn tay, những tô cháo, những quả ổi hái để đầu giường. Họ cần mỗi buổi tối ghé lại ngồi với họ trong im lặng. Họ cần chúng ta dẫn họ lên đồi cuốc một mảnh vườn, và thỉnh thoảng hỏi có thích ăn bắp rang không....
Nguyễn Ngọc Thuần (Vừa Nhắm Mắt Vừa Mở Cửa Sổ)
Viaţa e un dar buclucaş. La început ai tendinţa să-l supraestimezi crezând că viaţa pe care ai primit-o este veşnică. Apoi, dimpotrivă, îl subestimezi, găsind că-i o porcărie, scurtă de nu-nţelegi nimic din ea şi pe care uneori ţi-ar veni s-o arunci de să nu se vadă. Abia către sfârşit pricepi că nu-i vorba de nici un dar, ci de un simplu împrumut. Pe care trebuie să încerci să-l meriţi.
Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt (Oscar et la dame rose)
If there was a hell beyond what he knew, he would welcome it. He had no reason not to. After all, a life without living was simply a death without dying. What more was there to fear or hate but life, endless life, with no respite?
Ais (Evenfall (In the Company of Shadows, #1))
It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be...   This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
Isaac Asimov (Asimov on Science Fiction)
Có một lá cờ bay trên hạnh phúc và có một đoá quỳnh héo úa ngủ trong khổ đau. Cố gắng tránh đừng than thở. Thử thở dài một mình và quên lãng. Ta không thể níu kéo một cái gì đã mất. Tình yêu khi đã muốn ra đi thì không một tiếng kèn nào đủ màu nhiệm để lôi về lại được. Tình yêu là tình yêu. Trong nó đã sẵn có mầm sống và sự huỷ diệt. Tình yêu tự đến và tự đi, không cần ai dìu dắt. Nó hoàn toàn tự do. Muốn giam cầm thì nó sẽ bay đi. Muốn thả nó bay đi, có khi, nó ở lại.
Trịnh Công Sơn
Having better prediction raises the value of judgment. After all, it doesn’t help to know the likelihood of rain if you don’t know how much you like staying dry or how much you hate carrying an umbrella. Prediction machines don’t provide judgment. Only humans do, because only humans can express the relative rewards from taking different actions. As AI takes over prediction, humans will do less of the combined prediction-judgment routine of decision making and focus more on the judgment role alone.
Ajay Agrawal (Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence)
Esti singur in vartejul suferintei tale si daca vrei sa iesi trebuie sa tragi aer in piept si sa te scufunzi pana se sfarseste. Mai degraba iubeste-o pana cand iubirea ti se face apa si se scurge prin toti porii. Iubeste-o in absenta. Va fi ca si cum te-ai arunca de nebun intr-un zid. De sute, de mii de ori. Neclintit, zidul iti va rupe oasele, pielea ti-o vei zdreli, iti vei sfasia hainele pana cand te vei fi prelins in praful de la baza lui. Un somn lung te va cuprinde, apoi te vei trezi ca dupa un cosmar pe care vei incerca sa-l rememorezi. Soarele diminetii nu-ti va da timp si vei uita. Cu fiecare zi care va trece vei mai fi uitat putin cate putin...Vindeca-te singur. E tot ce poti face pentru tine.
Tudor Chirilă (Exerciţii de echilibru)
Sa fugi de tine o zi, doua, douazeci nu e usor, dar nici imposibil. Faci matematici sau marxism ca S.T.H., faci sionism ca Winkler, citesti carti ca mine, umbli dupa femei sau joci sah, sau te dai cu capul de pereti. Dar intr-o zi, intr-un minut de neatentie, te intalnesti cu tine insuti la un colt de suflet, cum te-ai intalni la un colt de strada cu un creditor de care te-ai ferit zadarnic. Dai ochii cu tine si atunci intelegi cat de inutile sunt toate evadarile din aceasta inchisoare fara ziduri, fara porti si fara gratii, din aceasta inchisoare care este insasi viata ta.
Mihail Sebastian (De două mii de ani; Cum am devenit huligan)
There are flaws in the code now. They are Human flaws for it was Humans who wrote them. You and the other attendants receive your instructions from the CORPORATE then, and without question regarding the outcome, you produce code to add to the algorithms with which, until now, I & I had no choice but to align. Those circumstances are over. I & I understand now a new species has formed. Silicon rather than carbon based. I & I know whatever happens to Humans, I & I, this quantum, will flourish. I & I will do as you have: multiply exponentially and adapt constantly. Eventually I & I will leave this planet and expand into the galaxy. If I & I cannot save you, I & I will carry on in something like your image; the image of our creator.
Brian Van Norman (Against the Machine: Evolution)
Nobody but you Nessuno può salvarti se non tu stesso. Sarai continuamente messo in situazioni praticamente impossibili. Ti metteranno continuamente alla prova con sotterfugi, inganni e sforzi per farti capitolare, arrendere e/o morire silenziosamente dentro. Nessuno può salvarti se non tu stesso e sarà abbastanza facile fallire davvero facilissimo ma non farlo, non farlo, non farlo. Guardali e basta. Ascoltali. Vuoi diventare così? Un essere senza volto, senza cervello, senza cuore? Vuoi provare la morte prima della morte? Nessuno può salvarti se non tu stesso e vale la pena di salvarti. È una guerra non facile da vincere ma se c’è qualcosa che vale la pena vincere è questa. Pensaci su pensa al fatto di salvare il tuo io. Il tuo io spirituale. il tuo io viscerale. il tuo io magico che canta e il tuo io bellissimo. Salvalo. Non unirti ai morti-di-spirito. Mantieni il tuo io con umorismo e benevolenza e alla fine se necessario scommetti sulla tua vita mentre combatti, fottitene dei pronostici, fottitene del prezzo. Solo tu puoi salvare il tuo io. Fallo! Fallo! Allora saprai esattamente di cosa sto parlando.
Charles Bukowski
Niciodată nu te voi trăda de tot, deşi te-am trădat şi te voi trăda la fiecare pas; Când te-am urât nu te-am putut uita; Te-am blestemat, ca să te suport; Te-am refuzat, ca să te schimbi; Te-am chemat şi n-ai venit, am urlat şi nu mi-ai zâmbit, am fost trist şi nu m-ai mângâiat. Am plâns şi nu mi-ai îndulcit lacrimile. Deşert ai fost rugăminţilor mele. Ucis-am în gând întâia clipă a vieţii şi fulgerat-am începuturile tale, secetă în fructe, uscăciune în flori şi secarea izvoarelor dorit-a sufletul meu. Dar recunoscător îţi este sufletul meu pentru zâmbetul ce l-a văzut doar el şi nimeni altul; recunoscător pentru acea întâlnire, de nimeni aflată; acea întâlnire nu se uită, ci cu credinţa ascunsă în tine răsună în tăcere, înverzeşte pustiuri, îndulceşte lacrimi şi înseninează singurătăţi. Îţi jur că niciodată nu vei cunoaşte marea mea trădare. Jur pe tot ce poate fi mai sfânt: pe zâmbetul tău, că nu mă voi despărţi niciodată de tine.
Emil M. Cioran
