| c159b99 | Nao temos juventude, ficamos logo adultos, e continuamos entao adultos por um tempo demasiadamente longo, vem dai um certo cansaco e uma certa desesperanca que atravessa com um vinco largo a essencia no conjunto tao tenaz e cheia de esperanca do nosso povo | Franz Kafka | ||

| b7b0463 | Today, and let us celebrate this fact, We can eat the light of our beloved, warmed by compassion or cooled by intellectual feeling. And if we are surprised, and some of us disappointed, that the light is now only green - well, such was the vital probability awaiting us. We have, after all, an increase in the energy available for further evolution; we can use the energy of our position relative to the probabilities in the future to reach the.. | light green | William S. Wilson | |

| 839831d | His wounds, incidentally, must have healed up by now, he felt no handicap anymore, which was astonishing; for, as recalled, after he had nicked his finger with a knife over a month ago, the injury had still been hurting the day before yesterday. "Am I less sensitive now?" he wondered, greedily sucking at the cheese, which had promptly exerted a more emphatic attraction on him than any of the other food. His eyes watered with contentment as .. | Franz Kafka | ||
| e1b82a5 | All he wanted to do now was to get up quietly and undisturbed, get dressed, and, most important, eat breakfast, and only then consider what to do next, because, as he was well aware, in bed he could never think of anything through to a reasonable conclusion. | Franz Kafka | ||
| dbaba89 | calm consideration was much better than rushing to desperate conclusions. | Franz Kafka | ||
| ffd45e0 | First of all, I am delighted that you are a vegetarian at heart. I don't like strict vegetarians all that much, because I too am almost a vegetarian, and see nothing particularly likable about it, just something natural, and those who are good vegetarians in their hearts, but, for reasons of health, from indifference, or simply because they underrate food as such, eat meat or whatever happens to be on the table, casually, with their left ha.. | Franz Kafka | ||
| cf57323 | Lo raro es que, cuando uno se despierta por la manana, por lo menos en lineas generales vuelve a encontrar las cosas en el mismo estado en que estaban por la noche. Sin embargo, durante el sueno uno se ha encontrado, por lo menos en apariencia, en un estado esencialmente distinto de la vigilia y hace falta una infinita presencia de animo, o mejor dicho, de presteza para cogerlo todo, al abrir los ojos, por asi decir en el mismo punto en que.. | Franz Kafka | ||
| 0f4001f | No es necesario que salgas de casa. Quedate a tu mesa y escucha. Ni siquiera escuches, espera solamente. Ni siquiera esperes, quedate completamente solo y en silencio. El mundo llegara a ti para hacerse desenmascarar, no puede dejar de hacerlo, se prosternara extatico a tus pies. | Franz Kafka | ||

| 7dbb073 | Svijetla kosa i tamna kosa, to su dva pola ljudskog karaktera. Tamna kosa znaci muzevnost, odvaznost, otvorenost i poduzetnost, dok je svijetla kosa simbol zenstvenosti, njeznosti, bespomocnosti i pasivnosti. Plavusa je, prema tome, dvostruka zena. Princeza mora biti plavokosa. Zato zene, da bi bile zenstvenije, boje kosu u zuto, a nikad u crno. | Milan Kundera | ||

Liubovta se proiaviava ne chrez pl'tsko zhelanie(tova zhelanie mozhe da se otnasia za ogromen broi zheni), a chrez zhelanie da spodelish s'nia si (tova zhelanie biva nasocheno samo k'm edna-edinstvena zhena). | Milan Kundera | ||

| 92a93d6 | By stablishing an acquaintance with Lucie, I too had set my destiny in motion; but I did not lose sight of it. Though we didn't meet very often, at least our mettings were fairly regular, and I knew she was capable of waiting several weeks and then greeting me as if we'd seen each other the day before | Milan Kundera | ||
| bfbc608 | Si, de repente lo vi asi: la mayoria de la gente se engana mediante una doble creencia erronea: cree en el eterno recuerdo (de la gente, de las cosas, de los actos, de las naciones) y en la posibilidad de reparacion (de los actos, de los errores, de los pecados, de las injusticias.Ambas creencias son falsas.

| 80d47f5 | In times when history still moved slowly, events were few and far between and easily committed to memory. They formed a commonly accepted for thrilling scenes of adventure in private life. Nowadays, history moves at a brisk clip. A historical event, though soon forgotten, sparkles the morning after with the dew of novelty. No longer a backdrop, it is now the itself, an adventure enacted before the backdrop of the commonly accepted banal.. | Milan Kundera | ||

| 3796e4f | Horror is a shock, a time of utter blindness. Horror lacks every hint of beauty. All we can see is the piercing light of an unknown event awaiting us. Sadness, on the other hand, assumes we are in the know... The light of horror thus lost its harshness, and the world was bathed in a gentle, bluish light that actually beautified it. | sadness harshness horror | Milan Kundera | |
| 8ff8279 | She felt attracted by their weakness as by vertigo. She felt attracted by it because she felt weak herself. Again she began to feel jealous and again her hands shook. When Tomas noticed it, he did what he usually did: he took her hands in his and tried to calm them by pressing hard. She tore them away from him. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Nothing." "What do you want me to do for you?" "I want you to be old. Ten years older. Twenty years.. | Milan Kundera | ||

| a7110ae | The uniform is that which we do not choose, that which is assigned to us; it is the certitude of the universal against the precariousness of the individual.
