| 239c001 | Lo mismo que ella en el, en la mas extrema soledad, tambien el piensa en ella en el mismo momento. Apartada por leguas y muros, invisibles e inalcanzables una para otra, respiran sus dos almas con identico deseo en el mismo segundo del tiempo: en espacios inalcanzables, por encima del tiempo, se unen sus pensamientos, al difundirse en vibraciones circulares, lo mismo que labio y labio en el beso. | Stefan Zweig | ||

| 6f3933d | I've been left at the altar now a couple of times. | Barack Obama | ||
| 7835626 | For him books are not like men, who impose themselves and burden him with their chatter, and of whom it is hard to be rid. When you don't call for them they stay put; you can just pick up this one or that, according to your whim: "Books are my kingdom. And here I seek to reign as absolute lord." Books offer him their opinion and he responds with his own. They express their thoughts and arouse in him further thoughts. They do not disturb him.. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| fdce42d | It is my opinion that you should lend yourself to others and give yourself only to yourself. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| d7a48b8 | Life is servitude if we lack the freedom to die. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 848496e | Zweig, who had made frequent journeys around Italy before World War l, was delighted to discover that "the Germans, formerly the largest contingent of travelers, are reduced to a modest number, among whom only the 'Thomas Mann German, the quiet, cultivated one' is to be found." | meta-quote pre-world-war-i stefan-zweig thomas-mann travel | Sabine Arque | |

| 1407c15 | How to safeguard the deepest region of my spirit and its matter which belongs to me alone, my body, my health, my thoughts, my feelings, from the danger of being sacrificed to the deranged prejudices of others, to serve interests which are not my own? | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 448265f | Montaigne's greatest pleasure is in the search, not the discovery. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 698d173 | Only he knows that no task on earth is more burdensome and difficult than to maintain one's intellectual and moral independence and preserve it unsullied through a mass cataclysm. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 496484a | For a society is always most cruel to those who disclose and reveal its secrets, when through dishonesty society itself has outraged Nature. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 675609f | It's not your fault. But whose fault is it? Why are we always the ones who suffer? We didn't do anything, we didn't do anything to anyone, but every step we take is a trap. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| be2bd64 | With secret envy Christine thought: If only I could go back to taking pleasure in such little things, instead of yearning for the impossible. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 68227bd | Carlyle's axiom that the true university of these days is a good collection of books has remained valid as far as I'm concerned, and even today I am convinced that one can become an excellent philosopher, historian, philologist, lawyer, or what will you, without having attended a university or even a Gymnasium. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 6235765 | But you wouldn't believe what a dead finger does to a living hand. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| e877074 | Few men on earth have ever fought with such faithfulness and tenacity to preserve their most intimate selves, their "essences", from all impurities, from all toxins left by the rank spume of an epoch's storm waves, and fewer still have managed to rescue from the time in which they lived, and for all time, their deepest selves." | Stefan Zweig | ||
| e8e90a3 | His tactic was to be as inconspicuous as possible, to attract the minimum of attention through outward appearance, to travel the world as if wearing a mask, to seek out only the path that would lead to himself. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 437f5b0 | I wanted to go back over what I had so fleetingly experienced step by step, relishing in retrospect by virtue of that magical self-deception we call memory. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 3aac711 | Those minutes were the beginning of his abandoning himself to a very strange kind of devotion, such a reeling, intoxicated sensation that the proud and portentous word 'love' is not quite right for it. It was that faithful, dog-like devotion without desire that those in mid-life seldom feel, and is known only to the very young and the very old. A love devoid of any deliberation, not thinking but only dreaming. He entirely forgot the unjust .. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 5a19db3 | d'aussi purs poetes, tout entiers devoues au lyrisme, seront-ils encore possibles dans notre epoque de turbulence et de desordre universel ? N'est-ce pas une lignee disparue que je regrette en eux avec amour, une lignee sans posterite immediate dans nos jours traverses par tous les ouragans du destin ? Ces poetes ne convoitaient rien de la vie exterieure, ni l'assentiment des masses, ni les distinctions honorifiques, ni les dignites, ni le .. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 2937092 | des ames totalement consacrees a l'art lyrique seront-elles encore possibles a notre epoque, dans nos nouvelles conditions d'existence qui arrachent les hommes a tout recueillement et les jettent hors d'eux-memes dans une fureur meurtriere, comme un incendie de foret chasse les animaux de leurs plus profondes retraites ? | Stefan Zweig | ||
| dcfe86c | Insan zekasini hicbir sey tutkulu bir supheden fazla keskinlestirmez, karanliklara uzanan bir izin pesinden israrla gitmek kadar baska hicbir sey o gune kadar olgunlasmamis zekayi gelistirmez. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 5731163 | Durant cette heure, j'avais vu a decouvert le secret eternel de tout grand art et meme, a vrai dire, de toute production humaine : la concentration, le rassemblement de toutes les forces, de tous les sens, la faculte de s'abstraire de soi-meme, de s'abstraire du monde, qui est le propre de tous les artistes. J'avais appris quelque chose pour la vie. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 9648787 | pain is cowardly, it gives way before the overpowering will to live which seems to cling more strongly to our flesh than all the mortal suffering of the spirit. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| ea5344a | The vast power of money, mighty when you have it and even mightier when you don't, with its divine gift of freedom and the demonic fury it unleashes on those forced to do without it-- | Stefan Zweig | ||
| de46889 | This contact with the overpowering is her first encounter with travel's disconcerting ability to strip the hard shell of habit from the heart, leaving only the bare, fertile kernel. | Stefan Zweig | ||

| 4544ed1 | As if I already had some inkling of my own future fate, I was most moved by those of the people here who had no homeland, or even worse, had not just one but two or three, and privately still did not feel sure where they belonged. | travel | Stefan Zweig | |
| d8289cd | See, that's what we're like. You're brave and you're not afraid to die, but you're afraid of being late for work. That's how enslaved we are, that's how ingrained it is. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 547d864 | Has this new dress, this new world made me so different? Or was this inside me all along, and I was just too fainthearted, too timid? That's what Mother always said. Maybe everything's not so hard, maybe life is so much easier than I thought, you just need courage, you just need to have a sense of yourself, then you'll discover your hidden resources. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 60e1bb0 | Arzulandigi zaman guzeldi, zeki insanlarin arasinda nuktedandi, gururu oksandiginda kibirliydi, sevildigi zaman asikti. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 9ad6fb1 | Whether we do it or not, we'll have to see--but still, just to have an idea, to think it through, work it out, and calculate the alternatives down to the ultimate consequences, that'll be a pleasure I'd never expected to have. | Stefan Zweig | ||
