143 Quotes About Emma

  • Author John Fowles
  • Quote

    I am Emma Woodhouse. I feel for her, of her and in her. I have a different sort of snobbism, but I understand her snobbism. Her priggishness. I admire it. I know she does wrong things, she tries to organize other people's lives, she can't see Mr Knightley is a man in a million. She's temporarily silly, yet all the time one knows she's basically intelligent. Creative, determined to set the highest standards. A real human being.

    Эмма... Ты спрашивала меня, верю ли я в вечную любовь. Любовь – это нечто абстрактное и неуловимое. Она зависит от наших ощущений и нашего жизненного опыта. Если мы не существуем, не существует и ее. Но мы такие изменчивые... Значит, и любовь не может быть иной.Любовь воспламеняется, умирает, разбивается, разбивая нас, воскресает... и воскрешает нас. Любовь не может быть вечной, но она делает вечными нас...Любовь, которую мы пробудили, и после нашей смерти продолжает свой путь.
