“By uniting the thirst of our mind with the pureness and wellness of the air we are breathing, we can take possession of the most profound fibers in our being, imbibe its hidden primal forces, and transcend all irrelevant trivialities. ("My radio")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“There are two schools of thought about the resilience of time. The first is that time is highly volatile, with every small event altering the possible outcome of the earth's future. The other view is that time is rigid, and no matter how hard you try, it will always spring back toward a determined present. Myself, I do not worry about such trivialities. I simply sell ties to anyone who wants to buy one...”
― Jasper Fforde, The Eyre Affair

“The affair seems absurdly trifling, and yet I dare call nothing trivial when I reflect that some of my most classic cases have had the least promising commencement. You will remember, Watson, how the dreadful business of the Abernetty family was first brought to my notice by the depth which the parsley had sunk into the butter upon a hot day.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventure of the Six Napoleons / The Adventure of the Crooked Man

“I write because the security of your love allows me to develop my craft without concerning myself with trivialities — as if your love could be any more complete. But I write, in the first place,
because of you, my muse. I write for your green eyes to glance at my humble words and for the pleasure of hearing you utter them.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“Nothing by chance, nothing is random, nothing is in vain, nothing is trivial”
― Miguel el Portugués, Zori 2ª Parte

“Don’t be too engrossed with things of the world; discover your purpose in life”
― Sunday Adelaja

“For my part, I despise trivial occurrences; I am only for those which surprise and astonish.”
― Marie Rabutin-Chantal De Sevigne, The Letters of Madame De Sevigne to Her Daughter and Friends

“Hur många fragment av onödiga kunskaper finns det egentligen i en människa som har nått femtionio år? Och kanske är de inte alldeles onödiga? Kanske är det av fragmenten som man i grund och botten består? Passioner, känslor, längtan, ja till och med hat kommer och går. Det är fragmenten som blir kvar och som lever sitt myllrande liv, ungefär som myrorna i myrstacken. Valmiki, den store hinduiske asketen och mystikern, satt stilla så länge att myrorna byggde en stack kring honom. "Valmiki" betyder, som alla förstår, "myrstack" på sanskrit.”
― Lars Gustafsson, La clandestina

“Trivial things weren't so trivial when they piled up, not a corn on the sole of a foot or dust heaped on a forgotten shelf.”
― Gu Byeong-mo, Apartment Women
