dienos miegas yra lyg kuno nuodeme: kuo daugiau jos esi patyres, tuo daugiau jos troksti, bet jautiesi nelaimingas, kartu sotus ir alkanas.

Kas tai yra meile? Nieko nera pasaulyje, nei zmogaus, nei velnio, nei kito dalyko, kuris man atrodytu toks pat itartinas, kaip meile, nes ji isilauzia i siela giliau nei kas kitas, ir nera nieko kito, kas taip pripildytu ir supanciotu sirdi, kaip meile. Todel per meile siela nugarma i giliausius pragarus, nebent jei turi ginklu, kuriais gali jai atsispirti.

If our eye could penetrate the earth and see its interior from pole to pole, from where we stand to the antipodes, we would glimpse with horror a mass terrifyingly riddled with fissures and caverns. --Thomas Burnet, Telluris Theoria Sacra, Amsterdam, Wolters, 1694, p. 38

You mean the Grail also comes into this?" Belbo asked. "Naturally. And I'm not the only one who says so. You are educated men; there is no need for me to go into the legend of the Grail. The Knights of the Round Table, the mystical quest for this miraculous object, which some believe was the chalice in which the blood of Jesus was collected. The Grail taken to France by Joseph of Arimathea. Others say it is a stone that possesses mysterious..

Perhaps if this abbey exists and if we still speak of the Holy Roman Empire, we owe it to the Irish. At that time, the rest of Europe was reduced to a heap of ruins; one day they declared invalid all baptisms imparted by certain priests in Gaul because they baptized 'in nomine patris et filae' [In the name of the Father and of the Daughter]--and not because they practiced a new heresy and considered Jesus a woman, but because they no longer..

Carino, buscaremos un pais donde no haya secretos y todo se desarrolle a la luz del sol. Entre Centroamerica y Sudamerica hay un monton. Nada esta oculto: se sabe quien pertenece al cartel de la droga, quien dirige las bandas revolucionarias; te sientas en un restaurante, pasa un grupo de amigos y te presentan a uno como el jefe del contrabando de armas, bien puesto, afeitado y perfumado, con esa camisa blanca almidonada que se lleva por fu..

perche aveva scritto che alla stazione di Torino "due treni diretti s'incrociavano: l'uno in partenza, e l'altro in arrivo". La sua descrizione pareva stolidamente ridondante. Ma, a ripensarci bene, l'annotazione non e cosi ridondante come appare a prima vista. Dov'e che due treni che s'incrociano non ripartono entrambi dopo essere arrivati?"

Gustaba a napolitanos y sicilianos, mestizos tambien ellos, no por error de una madre pelleja sino por historia de generaciones, nacidos de cruces de levantinos desleales, arabes sudorientos y ostrogodos degenerados, que tomaron lo peor de cada uno de sus hibridos antepasados: de los sarracenos, la indolencia; de los suabos, la ferocidad; de los griegos, la infructuosidad y el gusto de perderse en charlas con tal de dividir un pelo en cuatr..
