Milan Kundera
“Being in a foreign country means walking a tightrope high above the ground without the net afforded a person by the country where he has his family, colleagues, and friends, and where he can easily say what he has to say in a language he has known from childhood.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Milan Kundera
“Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation (a desire that extends to an infinite number of women) but in the desire for shared sleep (a desire limited to one woman).”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“Mi ljudi skupljači smo uspomena, patnji, trenutaka, materijalnih stvari, novca, a sukladno tomu i podočnjaka. Kod zadnje stavke bitno je zbog čega ćemo ih skupljati. Način, svrha. Kako god bilo, podočnjake bismo trebali skupljati radeći stvari koje volimo i koje nas ispunjavaju, one koje nas približavaju željenom snu i cilju. Na kraju krajeva, nije li bolje sanjati otvorenih očiju nego zatvorenih? Živjeti snove svakoga dana na javi.”
― Kristina Paj, Ne gubi fokus

Bernhard Schlink
“Posjedovala je mudrost koja mu se sviđala i zbog koje joj je opraštao prenaglašenu blagost i odmjerenost u glasu i govoru. Svećenici postanu dostojanstveni, rekao je sebi, kao što i novinari postanu uobraženi. Pa iako se kod svećenika nikad ne zna u kojoj je mjeri njihova ljubaznost dio zanimanja, a koliko je utemeljena na simpatiji.”
― Bernhard Schlink

Ann Patchett
“I see the past as it actually was," Maeve said. She was looking at the trees.

"But we overlay the present onto the past. We look back through the lens of what we know now, so we're not seeing it as the people we were, we're seeing it as the people we are, and that means the past has been radically altered.”
― Ann Patchett, The Dutch House

Malo nas je, al' nas ima :). Mjesto za razmjenu komentara prvenstveno o knjigama koje se mogu nabaviti na domaćem tržištu, a zatim i o svim ostalima o ...more
