Alex’s Quotes

“Всё это мешало им расширять район своих набегов и вторгаться в землю соседей: как люди воинственные они этим очень огорчались.”
― Гай Юлий Цезарь, Записки о Галльской войне. Готовому перейти Рубикон

“Odgar loved her enough, God knows. It was liking, and liking the body, and introducing the body, and persuading, and taking chances, and never frightening, and assuming about the other person, and always taking never asking, and gentleness and liking, and making liking and happiness, and joking and making people not afraid. And making it all right afterwards. It wasn’t loving. Loving was frightening.”
― Ernest Hemingway, Nick Adams Stories

“Думнориг в ответ на требование вернуться оказал сопротивление, стал защищаться с оружием в руках и просил своих земляков о помощи, причём не раз кричал, что он свободный человек и гражданин свободного государства. Согласно приказу Цезаря, его люди окружили Думнорига и убили, а эдуйские всадники, все до одного вернулись к Цезарю.”
― Гай Юлий Цезарь, Записки о Галльской войне. Готовому перейти Рубикон

“It was good to be in bed, sheets, stretching out full length, dipping his head in the pillow. Good in bed, comfortable, happy, fishing tomorrow, he prayed as he always prayed when he remembered it, for the family, himself, to be a great writer, Kate, the men, Odgar, for good fishing, poor old Odgar, poor old Odgar, sleeping up there at the cottage, maybe not sleeping, maybe not sleeping all night. Still there wasn’t anything you could do, not a thing.”
― Ernest Hemingway, Nick Adams Stories
