Quotes by Antanas Škėma (?)

“Mes esame nelaimingi vieni, ir mes nelaimingi bendruomenėje; vedę ir nevedę; mes lyg ežiai, besiburią šilimai, mums nepatogu, kai mes sugrūsti, ir mes dar nelaimingesni išsiskyrę; optimizmas yra karti pajuoka iš žmogaus sielvarto; gyvenimas - blogis, nes gyvenimas - karas; kuo tobulesnis organizmas, tuo tobulesnis kentėjimas; istorijos motto: eadem sed aliter*.

* Tas pats, bet kitaip (lot.)”

“Kai angelas atsisveikina su naujai gimusiuoju, jis paliečia pirštu jo veidą, kad atvykėlis į žemę neprisimintų dangaus. Štai kodėl tarp nosies ir viršutinės lūpos įspaustas griovelis.”
