...besides which Lucille would never understand me because I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion. ↗

Į žmones reikia žiūrėti iš aukštai. Būdavo, užgesinu šviesą ir atsistoju prie lango: jie nė neįtaria, kad juos galima stebėti ir iš viršaus. Jie rūpinasi savo priekiu, kartais užpakaliu, bet visi jų triukai skirti metro setyniasdešimties centimetrų ūgio žiūrovui. O ar kas nors kada pagalvojo, kaip atrodo katiliuko formos kepurė žvelgiant iš septinto aukšto? <...> Vieną vakarą man toptelėjo mintis pašaudyti į žmones. ↗

Your Majesty, I'm afraid everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong," said Major Sir Michael Parker, an impresario for royal events with an expertise in pyrotechnics. "Oh good, what fun!" she replied with a smile. ↗

Silence does not always imply consent. Sometimes it simply means that the silent one has opted out of a discussion with idiots. ↗

While everyone adjusted themselves and their packs, Donna sniffed curiously at Louie's nose. Her attitude suggested she might want to make friends with the giant dog; Lou couldn't resist the temptation. Once Donna lured Louie in, she slowly, cautiously, turned about to align her hooves with Louie's head. Perhaps she didn't like dogs. Perhaps she didn't want a rival for Monty's attentions. Perhaps she was merely an impish tarkus much like the Dane himself. Cody watched as the Dane failed to grasp the gravity of his predicament. At the last moment, Cody smacked Louie's hind end, scuttling the devious donkey's murderous trap. ↗

Happiness is the contentment in the heart, peace of mind, a sense of stability, a right attitude and being content with what is sufficient. ↗

¿Qué tienen esos momentos intemporales que luego siempre se recuerdan con una dulce melancolía? A veces me parece que es en esos intervalos de vacío, sin que fuera consciente de ello, cuando he vivido de manera más real y auténtica. ↗

Etre vivant, cela veut dire être conscient de sa vie, de son destin personnel, et répandre la Vie autour de soi. Etre vivant, cela veut dire être libéré de toute attitude unilatérale, de tout fanatisme et être ouvert à tout ce qui est bon et grand, être préservé de toute sclérose et de toute petrification du corps comme de l´esprit. Etre vivant, cela signifie être toujours prêt à apprendre et, si besoin est, à changer de méthode et de ne tenir aucune limitation pour insurmontable. Cela signifie prendre part à tout, entendre en tout gronder le torrent d´abondance et de plénitude, avoir part au royaume de vie dans tout ce qui se passe, aimer et louer tout ce qui est véritablement vie et se désaltérer auprès d´elle comme à une source rafraîchissante. ↗

...the very greatest satire, I came to think -- the kind that lives forever -- ultimately grew out of a debunking attitude toward the self. To see the world mock-heroically was necessarily to engage in a sort of preliminary self-burlesque. You couldn't take yourself *that* seriously. You were part of it. All the Lilliputian preening and pomposity was, at bottom, one's own. ↗
