Rainer Maria Rilke
“Memory Is Not Enough

Memory is not enough…
I do not recollect. What I am
is alive in me because of you. I do not reinvent you
at sadly cooled-off places you have left behind.
Even your absence is filled
with your warmth and is more real
than your not-existing. Longing often meanders
into vagueness. Why should I throw myself away
when something in you may be
touching me, very lightly, like moonlight
on a window seat.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Henri Bosco
“I became lucid, with an impersonal lucidity. I sensed I was at the heart of a mysterious peace, where everything miraculously took shape without my being surprised. I saw clearly that I was rising, and that I was free. I had an ease of soul that allowed me to think all and to believe all. I could do all, without risk. Without understanding it, I saw that the lofty thought that lived in this house was now entering me, had become my substance. And I no longer sought its meaning, because it was my own self. From now on, I whispered, in this state of the soul’s ethereal life, it is of my self that I must ask the secret of this place. And I stretched out on the bed, where the true sleep of my fathers enveloped”
Henri Bosco, Malicroix

Paul Bowles
“Godinama je njegovo praznovjerje da se stvarnost i istinske predodžbe mogu naći u razgovoru s pripadnicima radničke klase. Iako je sada jasno vidio da su njihove formule razmišljanja i govora jednako krute i šablonske, pa stoga i jednako daleko od bilo kakvog izraza istinitosti kao i formule svake druge klase, često bi i dalje znao uhvatiti sebe kako čeka, iracionalno vjerujući da bi im iz usta mogli izaći biseri mudrosti.”
Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky

Paul Bowles
“Duša je najumorniji dio tijela.”
Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky

Yukio Mishima
“Zašto mi je oprostila? Je li mogla postojati veća uvreda od takve velikodušnosti? Ah, možda bi, govorio sam si, moja bol mogla zacijeliti kad bi me ona barem još jednom jasno uvrijedila.”
Yukio Mishima, Confessions of a Mask
