“Tautas dzīve ir kā bulta. Ir brīdis, kad liktenis ir tautas ziņā, kad sabiedriskie spēki ir nospriegoti kā uzvilkts loks, kad pati tauta izvēlas mērķi, kad bultas lidojums un tālums ir paredzams. Kad bulta ir izšauta, to atgriezt nevar nekāds spēks, ne lūgšanas, ne pavēles.”

who browses the shelf

“You see, I have never felt the need to invent a world beyond this world, for this world has always seemed large and beautiful enough for me. I have wondered why it is not large and beautiful enough for others-- why they must dream up new and marvelous spheres, or long to live elsewhere, beyond this dominion... but that is not my business. We are all different, I suppose. All I ever wanted was to know this world. I can say now, as I reach my end, that I know quite a bit more of it than I knew when I arrived. Moreover, my little bit of knowledge has been added to all the other accumulated knowledge of history-- added to the great library, as it were. That is no small feat, sir. Anyone who can say such a thing has lived a fortunate life.”

“Don’t try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the center and everything coming out equal. When you’re good, bad things can still happen. And if you’re bad, you can still be lucky.”
