My daughter, people are only used to seeing the glorified in a story, because a story is only a tiny, tiny piece of a person’s life. Legends, sacred writings, they’re all like that. But I assure you, dear child, every one of those people up there on that wall felt like, thought like, and suffered like you! ↗
По опънатото бяло платно тя везеше сложни шарки и плетеници, строго симетрични и чисти, без нито едно възелче или погрешен бод. Те поразяваха със своята сложност и дълбока планомерност, нямаше нито една излишна чертица или фигура и всички - толкова различни по багри и толкова разнообразни по форма и посока - бяха свързани в едно цяло, в една обща, дълбока и прекрасна мисъл. В подбора на багрите и в неуловимата на пръв поглед хармония, в която се сливаха, тлееше скрита, сподавена, но непобедима скръб и само тук-там ярко пламваха искри на смели надежди, на твърда, непоколебима вяра и храбър дух. Младата жена видя в опънатото платно, като в огледало, ясно отражение на душата си, образите и на своите най-скрити мисли. Тя се виждаше изправена пред една истина - сурова, жестока, неумолима. И застана смело срещу нея. ↗
Тайнствените изживявания могат да се окажат незабравими, но същевременно - и това е парадоксалното - подробностите, които си спомняме от тях, често са незначителни, несвързани и дори глупави. Изменчивата ни памет запечатва като с нагорещено желязо в спомените ни определени усещания, но в същото време не позволява те да са най-подходящите за едно обективно описание на цялостното събитие. ↗
It isn't the subjects we write about but the seriousness and subtlety of our expression that determines the worth of or effort. ↗
أي حيوانٍ هوَ الإنسان ؟ ، الملاك الرئيسي بسيفه فوق رأسِه و لكن عقلَه ثابت هُناك! ، هُناك و ليس في مكان آخر ، ليت الشيطان يأخذ العنزَة العَجوز ... ↗
You see, Momo,' he [Beppo Roadsweeper] told her one day, 'it's like this. Sometimes, when you've a very long street ahead of you, you think how terribly long it is and feel sure you'll never get it swept.' He gazed silently into space before continuing. 'And then you start to hurry,' he went on. 'You work faster and faster, and every time you look up there seems to be just as much left to sweep as before, and you try even harder, and you panic, and in the end you're out of breath and have to stop - and still the street stretches away in front of you. That's not the way to do it.' He pondered a while. Then he said, 'You must never think of the whole street at once, understand? You must only concentrate on the next step, the next breath, the next stroke of the broom, and the next, and the next. Nothing else.' Again he paused for thought before adding, 'That way you enjoy your work, which is important, because then you make a good job of it. And that's how it ought to be.' There was another long silence. At last he went on, 'And all at once, before you know it, you find you've swept the whole street clean, bit by bit. What's more, you aren't out of breath.' He nodded to himself. 'That's important, too,' he concluded. ↗
Drama is based on the Mistake. I think someone is my friend when he really is my enemy, that I am free to marry a woman when in fact she is my mother, that this person is a chambermaid when it is a young nobleman in disguise, that this well-dressed young man is rich when he is really a penniless adventurer, or that if I do this such and such a result will follow when in fact it results in something very different. All good drama has two movements, first the making of the mistake, then the discovery that it was a mistake. ↗
