Dragi Jón, to stran bi lahko izpustil.

"You will not touch her hair," he repeated.

Me, excited: Oooohh!

Rhys is my new favourite fantasy boyfriend 😍

Beletrina pravi: "Ena najlepših ljubezenskih zgodb vseh časov." Pa da vidimo. 🙂

"There is a disease that strikes foxes sometimes. It causes them to abandon their ways, to attack strangers. War is a human sickness like this."

"I passed out at the foot of my goal. And that's how I knew I was still human."

Sanjariš, da v dolgi rožnati krinolini pritečeš z gradu po belem stopnišču v objem nekoga, ki te čaka z odprtim naročjem. On je tisti, ki reče: "Končno si prišla!"
Vživljaš se v tistega, ki te čaka ob vznožju stopnišča in dahne: "Končno!"
V resnici pa čakaš samo sebe.

"Zločin je spoznan za nekaj normalnega, postal je vsakdanja dejavnost. Vsi to počnejo. Natančno tako bi izgledal svet, če bi koncentracijska taborišča postala norma. Nihče ne bi videl v njih nič slabega."

"Še najnizkotnejši zločinec ima dušo, ne pa ti, lepa Srna, niti ti, Merjasec, niti ti, divja Gos, niti ti, Svinja, niti ti, Pes. Ubijanje ni več kaznivo. In ker ni več kaznivo, ga nihče več ne opaža. In ker ga nihče ne opaža, ne obstaja."

"O državi pričajo njene Živali. Odnos do Živali. Če se ljudje zverinsko obnašajo do Živali, jim ne no pomagala nobena demokracija in sploh nič."

"Duševnost je naš obrambni sistem - skrbi za to, da ne bi nikdar dojeli tega, kar nas obdaja. Ukvarja se v glavnem s filtriranjem informacij, čeprav so zmožnosti naših možganov ogromne. Ker te vednosti ne bi bilo mogoče prenesti. Vsak najmanjši delček sveta namreč sestoji iz trpljenja."

🤦‍♀️
Mogoče, če bi bila stara 14 let...

Hudo se trudim, da je ne bi sodila po naslovnici - največji Photoshop fail ever! 🤭

"Odysseus, the son of Laertes, the great traveller, prince of wiles and tricks and a thousand ways. He showed me his scars, and in return he let me pretend that I had none."

ironija osamljenosti
je da smo vsi osamljeni
ob istem času

pogosto
smo jezni na druge
ker ne počnejo tistega
kar bi morali sami storiti zase

"Lepota je prolazna. Ružnoća traje zauvek."

"Perhaps ignoring things was an underestimated art. A critical survival skill even. Ignoring the bullet wound so you could get to the hospital. Ignoring the phone call so you could avoid the news. Ignoring the memories so you didn't hurt."

"It was words that gave people away. Silence, she knew, after years of interviewing people, was the only safety."

"Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone."
- Pablo Picasso

"Literature. Now that was some good shit.
He was glad they'd come up with that."

"Two places everyone gets treated the same: Heaven and really, really good hotels."

"There are two kinds of people in this world: people who want to be desired, and people who want to be desired so much that they pretend they don't."

"At the heart of most antagonisms are irreconcilable similarities. Hundred-year wars were fought over whether Jesus was human in divine form or divine in human form. Belief is murderous."

"One touch of clearsightedness reduces us to our primary state: nakedness."

"No loss is felt more keenly than the loss of what might have been. No nostalgia hurts as much as nostalgia for things that never existed."

"Ramena dol, trebuh noter. Stisnem roke in napnem mišice. Moraš imeti prostor. Med sabo in sovražnikom, pestjo in notranjimi organi, posameznikom in družbo, preteklostjo in sedanjostjo, spomini in srcem... pri vsem, kar delaš ali čutiš v tem življenju, potrebuješ prostor. Prostor te bo varoval. Trik sprejemanja močnih udarcev je, da veš, kako ustvariti dodaten prostor."

"Pembe je oboževala pse od malih nog. Všeč ji je bilo, kako lahko celo v globokem spancu in skozi zaprte oči vidijo ljudem v dušo. Večina odraslih je mislila, da psi ne razumejo veliko, ona pa je bila prepričana, da to ni res. Vse so razumeli. Samo odpuščali so."

One of the loveliest covers, though.

Ghosts? Srsly? *sigh*
