Salvador Espriu
“EUMOLP: Sé tots els mots que amaguen la solitud de l’home, no he d’aprendre res més.”
Salvador Espriu, Antígona

Thomas Mann
“I know I am talking nonsense, but I’d rather go rambling on, and partly expressing something I find it difficult to express, than to keep on transmitting faultless platitudes.”
Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain

Salvador Espriu
“Estimem la ciutat dels beocis i volem que sigui eterna, a desgrat dels pressentiments de Tirèsias, el qual mou, pesarós, el cap i ens prediu que serà destruïda. Però ell és cec i, encara que expert en el crit i el presagi dels ocells, ignora la claror de les estrelles. Prou comprenem, tan bé com l’endeví, que cal sepultar i perdonar, que cal procurar de complir la llei moral, aquesta flameta, dèbil, vacil.lant, tanmateix inapagable. Mai no pararíem de mostrar el sacrifici de la princesa, la lliçó del seu alt exemple. Però, criminosa com és, estulta, turbulenta i rica de males riqueses, que Tebes no sigui, en càstig, destruïda. Perquè hi ha la font, el cel, el riu de tots i pobres beocis que no en tenen gens la culpa.”
Salvador Espriu, Antígona

P.G. Wodehouse
“And she's got brains enough for two, which is the exact quantity the girl who marries you will need.”
P.G. Wodehouse, Mostly Sally

Thomas Mann
“Yet each, in itself—this was the uncanny, the anti-organic, the life-denying character of them all—each of them was absolutely symmetrical, icily regular in form. They were too regular, as substance adapted to life never was to this degree—the living principle shuddered at this perfect precision, found it deathly, the very marrow of death—Hans Castorp felt he understood now the reason why the builders of antiquity purposely and secretly introduced minute variation from absolute symmetry in their columnar structures.”
Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain
