Demetra Demetra said: " Το δανείστηκα από περιέργεια, θέλοντας να διαπιστώσω αν είναι βάσιμος ο χαρακτηρισμός του Χωμενίδη ως μοναδικού λογοτεχνικού επιγόνου του Καραγάτση(!). Ούτε η γραφή του μου άρεσε, ούτε και το περιεχόμενο. Ακατάσχετη παράθεση υπερβολών, τερατολογιών κ ...more "

Joseph Conrad
“It’s extraordinary how we go through life with eyes half shut, with dull ears, with dormant thoughts. Perhaps it’s just as well; and it may be that it is this very dullness that makes life to the incalculable majority so supportable and so welcome.”
― Joseph Conrad

Kingsley Amis
“You'll find that marriage is a good short cut to the truth. No, not quite that. A way of doubling back to the truth. Another thing you'll find is that the years of illusion aren't those of adolescence, as the grown-ups try to tell us; they're the ones immediately after it, say the middle twenties, the false maturity if you like, when you first get thoroughly embroiled in things and lose your head. Your age, by the way, Jim. That's when you first realize that sex is important to other people besides yourself. A discovery like that can't help knocking you off balance for a time.”
― Kingsley Amis, Lucky Jim

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Joseph Conrad
“Being a woman is a terribly difficult trade since it consists principally of dealings with men.”
― Joseph Conrad, Chance

Charles Bukowski
“We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”
― Charles Bukowski
