I'm Not Scared by Niccolò Ammaniti
"A real horror. Evil is committed in pursuit of the "good", the victims are innocent and young, their innocence lost in the most painful way possible, and the story ends without any expectation of redemption or happiness for anyone.

I'm Not Scared by Niccolò Ammaniti
"I'm not sure how to describe this book. Is it a shattering of innocence, a coming of age story, a mystery, a suspense novel or is it all of these? I was drawn into the story immediately by the short terse prose, the descriptions of the countryside an" Read more of this review »

I'm Not Scared by Niccolò Ammaniti

A book of the kind we need more of: literary fiction that is also a page-turner difficult to put down, and it needn't be, if you got all afternoon. It is also a rather brutal, perhaps precisely because not at all moralizing, look into the poor and ho ...more

Quotes by Rein Raud  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Kõik, mis on täiuslik ja vastuoludeta, peab kaduma. Täiuslikuks saamise hetk on tema lõpp-punkt, edasi pole tal enam kohta. Muidugi ei tähenda see, et ta kohe otsa saaks - aga ta sureb paratamatult, elu lahkub temast, ükskõik, kui kaua ta füüsiliselt siin meie keskel ringi ka ei liiguks. Ja see ei ole see täiuslikkus, mida teil enda ümber vaja on, uskuge mind.”
Rein Raud, Hotell Amalfi

“Love springs from the ability to prefer imperfection over perfection.”
Rein Raud, Vend

“Kõik inimesed on kenad, ainult mõned neist ei anna sellest endale alati aru,' väitis munk.”
Rein Raud, Ratsanik Melchior

Maailm mängib keelte pilliga.
Olla elus - siin on õudset riski;
verd ja higi, puid ja lilli ka.”
Juhan Viiding

“Love of God is pure when joy and suffering inspire an equal degree of gratitude.”
Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace

“A concept is a brick. It can be used to build a courthouse of reason. Or it can be thrown through the window.”
Gilles Deleuze, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

“Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve.”
Karl Popper

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
Albert Camus
