Los hombres adultos manifiestan la misma facilidad para hacer suposiciones metafisicas completamente absurdas que ellos encuentran consoladoras. Por ejemplo, la suposicion de que el bien es reluciente y bueno mientras que el mal es tetrico o por lo menos muy oscuro. En realidad la experiencia contradice por completo esa suposicion. El bien es aburrido. ?Que novelista ha logrado hacer interesante a un hombre bueno? Es caracteristico de este ..

The past and the present are after all so close, so almost one, as if time were an artificial teasing out of a material which longs to join, to interpenetrate, and to become heavy and very small like some of those heavenly bodies scientists tell us of.

What is more tormenting than a meeting after a long time, when all the words fall to the ground like dead things, and the spirit that should animate them floats disembodied in the air? We both felt its presence.

This talk of love means very little. Love is not a feeling. It can be tested. Love is action, it is silence. It's not the emotional straining and scheming for possession that you used to think it was.

Por que esta mal robar? --Es cuestion de como se defina --dijo Julius. --?Que quiere usted decir? --Es una tautologia. <> es un concepto con un sentido peyorativo inevitable. Asi, decir que robar esta mal es sencillamente como decir que esta mal lo que esta mal. No es una afirmacion significativa. Es una vaciedad. --Pero, en resumidas cuentas, ?quiere usted decir que esta mal? --No me ha comprendido usted --dijo Julius--. Observacion..

Ce mi se potriveste mie cel mai bine este dramatismul despartirilor sau asteptarea impacientata a inceputurilor si a intalnirilor.Nicicand n-as putea prefera plicticoasa eterna prezenta a casniciei.Nu imi place nici macar sa imi impart patul.[...]Casatoria e un fel de lavaj al creierului,care iti sileste spiritul sa accepte o suita intreaga de orori.Cat de neglijenti,de urati si lipsiti de farmec isi ingaduie adeseori sa devina oamenii casa..

It is not simply that suppression of self is required before accurate vision can be obtained. The great artist sees his objects (and this is true whether they are sad, absurd, repulsive or even evil) in a light of justice and mercy. The direction of attention is, contrary to nature, outward, away from self which reduces all to a false unity, towards the great surprising variety of the world, and the ability so to direct attention is love.

To anyone who will take the trouble to become attached to her she will immediately give a devoted, generous, imaginative and completely uncapricious attention, which is still a calculated avoidance of self-surrender. This is no doubt another reason why she never went into films; her private life must be an almost full-time activity. This has the sad result too that her existence is one long act of disloyalty; and when I knew her she was con..

No niegas que hay una causalidad... --dijo Morgan que estaba decidida a no enfadarse con el. Pero deseaba de todo corazon que se marchara. Julius se sento en uno de los sillones, quito un cojin y se puso comodo. --Causalidad, en efecto. Si es que te refieres a algo como la ley de Grimm o la de Verner. Pero estas son simples observaciones de las regularidades superficiales y son en definitiva extremadamente aburridas. El lenguaje es un lio b..
