"A hundred children, a hundred individuals who are people--not people-to-be, not people of tomorrow, but people now, right now--today.""To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is the bad dream.""It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone." "Don't cry for me after I'm gone; cry for me now.""It was kind of boring for me to have to eat. I would know that I had to, and I would." "...z bydłaśmy wyszli i w bydło się obrócimy. I cały wzrost indywiduum był tylko etapem rozwoju społecznego, aby ich siła, indywiduów, rozpuściwszy się w masie, doprowadziła tę masę do możności samoorganizacji." "Najprostszy akt surrealistyczny to wyjść na ulicę z rewolwerami w pięściach i strzelać w tłum na chybił trafił. Kto nie miał chociaż jeden raz w życiu ochoty skończyć w ten sposób z drobnym systemem zbydlęcenia i prawomocnego skretynienia, ten ma wyznaczone miejsce w tym tłumie z brzuchem na poziomie lufy." A. Breton
