Quote by Валер'ян Підмогильний

“До того ж читати на вулиці чи в бібліотеці він не зміг би; процес читання, одна з найглибших насолод його життя, був неодмінно пов'язаний з кімнатою, де немає нікого іншого, де можна лягти на канапі, вільно підклавши під голову подушку й присунувши лампу близько, щоб проміння з-під абажура падало лише на книжку, щоб лише вона світилася в тихій навколишній сутіні, як алегоричний екран, оживлений контактом душі.”

“Then there are the fully intentional pleasures, which, although in some way tied up with sensory or perceptual experience, are modes of exploration of the world. Aesthetic pleasures are like this. Aesthetic pleasures are contemplative - they involve studying an object OUTSIDE of the self, to which one is GIVING something (namely, attention and all that flows from it), and not TAKING, as in the pleasure that comes from drugs and drinks. Hence such pleasures are not addictive - there is no pathway to reward that can be short-circuited here, and a serotonin injection is not a cheap way of obtaining the experience of PARISFAL or THE MERCHANT OF VENICE.”

“I've written you sixty-seven love poems. Here’s another one for you. But really, for me. These poems are the candles that I light with the fire you have ignited in me. I place this candle here and another there so even if the stars have argued with the moon and are sulking away in a corner, you can still find your way to me. Sixty-eight poems now. What does the future hold for us? Joy? Disappointment? Gentle caresses? And subtle neglect? I hope the good is more than the bad. Much more. For what is the point of love if by lighting these candles our own flame loses its brightness? I know the good is more than the bad. Much more. I cannot wait to write you sixty-nine.”
