“Virtue is virtue, and, like suffering, it is inexplicable, irreducible, unintelligible.”

“Колкото и да се мъчех да се загубя, та да не се озова пак пред живота ми, той чисто и просто беше навсякъде.”

“The big event that rips through the heart of things and changes life for everyone, the unforgettable moment when something ends and something else begins. Was that what this was, he asked himself, a moment similar to the outbreak of war? No, not quite. War announces the beginning of a new reality, but nothing had begun today, a reality had ended, that was all, something had been subtracted from the world, and now there was a hole, a nothing where there had once been a something, as if every tree in the world had vanished, as if the very concept of tree or mountain had been erased from the human mind.”
― Paul Auster, 4 3 2 1
