“Everything is blowing up around us, but there are still those who care about a broken lock, and others who are dutiful enough to try to fix it … But maybe that’s the way it should be. Maybe working on the little things as dutifully and honestly as we can is how we stay sane when the world is falling apart.”

“In the midst of all his sadness, Pierre felt deep compassion penetrate his heart. He was upset by the thought that mankind should be so wretched, reduced to such a state of woe, so bare, so weak, so utterly forsaken, that it renounced its own reason to place the one sole possibility of happiness in the hallucinatory intoxication of dreams. Tears once more filled his eyes; he wept for himself and for others, for all the poor tortured beings who feel a need of stupefying and numbing their pains in order to escape from the realities of the world.”

I da ponekad nisu svjesni koliko često zapravo odaju svoje razočaranje, gađenje, Nisu svjesni malih gesti, izdaha i tikova koji govore ono što oni nikada ne bi izgovorili. Pretvaranje i sudjelovanje u tuđem pretvaranju omogućuje da živimo u koliko-toliko uređenom svijetu.”

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
