Iată, de ce, postarea de azi, va fi datorată câtorva citate pe care le consider magice (din diferite motive), citate ce aparțin, evident, unor cărți pe care le-am citit!
"Oamenii observă culorile unei zile numai la sfârşit şi la început, dar pentru mine este destul de clar că ea combină o multitudine de nuanţe şi tonuri, cu fiecare moment care trece. O singură oră poate consta în mii de culori diferite. "(Markus Zusak, Hoțul de Cărți)
"Doar pentru că am fost învinşi cu o sută de ani înainte de a începe nu înseamnă că nu putem încerca să câştigăm. " (Harper Lee, Să Ucizi o Pasăre Cântătoare)
"Nici nu se putea altfel: mirosul de migdale amare îi amintea de fiecare dată de soarta iubirilor neîmplinite. "(Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Dragostea în Vremea Holerei)
"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer." (F.Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby)
"The artist, like the God of creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails. "(James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man)
"Society, civilized society at least, is never very ready to believe anything to the detriment of those who are both rich and fascinating. It feels instinctively that manners are of more importance than morals, and, in its opinion, the highest respectability is of much less value than the possession of a good chef. And, after all, it is a very poor consolation to be told that the man who has given one a bad dinner, or poor wine, is irreproachable in his private life. Even the cardinal virtues cannot atone for half-cold entrées, as Lord Henry remarked once, in a discussion on the subject; and there is possibly a good deal to be said for his view. For the canons of good society are, or should be, the same as the canons of art. Form is absolutely essential to it. It should have the dignity of a ceremony, as well as its unreality, and should combine the insincere character of a romantic play with the wit and beauty that make such plays delightful to us. Is insincerity such a terrible thing? I think not. It is merely a method by which we can multiply our personalities." (Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Grey)
