Mother Teresa

"I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask,
'How much love did you put into what you did?'"


Friedrich Nietzsche

Art thou pure air and solitude and bread and medicine to thy friend?

[mk] Дали си му на својот пријател чист воздух, самотија, леб и лек?

Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov (1814-1841)

[ru]
Женщины! женщины! кто их поймет? Их улыбки противоречат их взорам, их слова обещают и манят, а звук их голоса отталкивает... То они в минуту постигают и угадывают самую потаенную нашу мысль, то не понимают самых ясных намеков...

[en]
Oh women, women! Who really does understand them? Their smiles contradict their glances, their words promise and beguile, but their tone of voice repulses. They either figure out in a flash your innermost thought or they don't get the most obvious hint . . .

Ivo Andrić

***

Ko u ovom svetu ne ume da organizuje sam svoj život, nije vredan da živi, a ko ga sa uspehom organizuje, izgubi pri tome toliko snage i svežine da mu i ne vredi mnogo što živi.

***

Što ne boli - to nije život, što ne prolazi - to nije sreća.

***

Kolumbo priča da je prilikom otkrića Kube video biljku pamuka i na njoj stalno u isto vreme jedne čahure koje tek dozrevaju, druge koje su već dozrele i otvorene, i treće koje su tek u cvetu.

Takva biljka trebalo bi da bude čovek.

Toliko je bilo u životu stvari kojih smo se bojali. A nije trebalo. Trebalo je živeti.

Svuda u svetu, a naročito valjda u ovim balkanskim zemljama, možete na dva načina da se odbranite i održite u struji života i da ljude prisilite da vas poštuju i - poštede. Prvi je: da stečete toliko novca i sigurnih dobara da vam niko ne sme i ne može ništa. Drugi je: da pokažete takvu ravnodušnost prema novcu, vlasti i svakom društvenom sjaju i uspehu, da vam i opet - ne može niko ništa.
***
"Posrnućete, ali nećete pasti; a ako se i desi - izuzetan slučaj! - baš i da padnete, nećete se povrediti nego ćete, čim
se pridignete, produžiti mirno i bodro svoj put. Različiti ste od svega oko sebe, sve vam preti i sve vas ugrožava, ali vam se ne može ništa zlo i nepopravljivo desiti, jer u vama od začetka vašeg zivi skrivena i neuništiva iskra životne radosti koja je moćnija od svega što vas okružuje. Samo ćete celog veka, sve do poslednjeg daha, patiti zbog svog neprirodnog položaja u svetu u koji ste bačeni. Tako se može reći da vam je, kroz sve mene i obrte dugog života, dvoje zajemčeno i osigurano: duga patnja i sigurna pobeda."
***
Ne smrt, zaborav rešava sve. Zaborav, i to ne samo pojmova, reči i lica, nego svega što postoji i živi. Zaborav tela i zaborav vremena. Zaborav, da bi se moglo predahnuti i živeti dalje u telu bez sećanja, sa duhom bez imena. Zaborav, smrt sa pravom na nadu.

Expecting something for nothing is the most popular form of hope.
