    Knygos tvirtina: ji padarė tai todėl ir todėl. Gyvenimas tvirtina: ji padarė tai. Tik knygose viskas paaiškinama, o gyvenime ničniekas. Nesistebiu, kad kai kurie žmonės teikia pirmenybę knygoms. Knygos įprasmina gyvenimą. Visa bėda, kad jos įprasmina kitų žmonių gyvenimą, bet ne tavąjį.

    Nu cred că mi-ar plăcea un zeu dezaprobator. Oricum ai parte de destulă dezaprobare în viață. Milă, iertare și-nțelegere - de astea avem nevoie. Și de ideea unui plan de ansamblu.

    No penséis mal de mí, guardad un buen recuerdo. Decid a la gente que me teníais afecto, que me amabais, que no era un mal tipo. Aun en el caso, quizás, de que no fuese cierto.

  • Quote

    Art belongs to everybody and nobody. Art belongs to all time and no time. Art belongs to those who create it and those who savour it. Art no more belongs to the People and the Party than it once belonged to the aristocracy and the patron. Art is the whisper of history, heard above the noise of time. Art does not exist for art’s sake: it exists for people’s sake.
