“Ja, obywatel Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej czuję się zaszczycony umożliwieniem mi wykonania lotu kosmicznego na radzieckim statku Sojuz 30 i orbitalnej stacji Salut 6. Okazanego mi zaufania nie zawiodę.”

“Ja sam sve što kažete da jesam, i još gore od toga. I da nisam, ipak jesam. Šta imam od toga?! (Bol i revolt)”
“Ja sam za vreme rata imao dnevnik koji sam vukao za sobom, kao neku kupusaru. Bio je strašno narastao. Ono što sam bio rešio da štampam na Univerzitetu u Beogradu iznosilo je, čini mi se, najmanje dvanaest štampanih tabaka.
Pošto izdanje "Maske", latinicom, niko nije čitao, ja sam prvo preštampao "Masku" u časopisu "Dan", a posle sam počeo da tražim izdavača za "Dnevnik", koji sam bio nazvao "o Čarnojeviću".
Našao sam izdavača za "Đerleza" Ive Andrića, ali "Dnevnik" je bio isuviše dug.
Međutim, Vinaver je bio bolje sreće.
On je, u jesen 1920, uspeo da zadobije kompanjone knjižare koja se nazivala "Sveslovenska", da izdadu jednu biblioteku modernih. U tu biblioteku trebalo je da uđe, prvo, moja knjiga o Čarnojeviću, Vinaverov "Gromobran", i Rastkov "Perun".
Samo, posle dugih pregovora, knjižara je tražila da nijedno delo ne sme biti duže od 7 tabaka.
Pored toga, ta knjižara, odnekuda, umešala je u to i profesora Univerziteta Vladu Ćorovića, inače mog prijatelja, kao nekog arbitra o moralu. On je tvrdio da u mom "Dnevniku" treba iseći dobar deo kao pornografiju. Sem toga je tvrdio da u toj knjizi ima isuviše pesimizma i da, posle jednog strašnog rata, nama treba sasvim drukčija literatura. Optimistička. Zdrava. Ne dekadentna.
Protiv optužbe da sam "dekadent" ja sam se nekako još borio, ali protiv optužbe da sam pornograf bilo je nemoguće boriti se. Morao sam pristati na tu književnu cenzuru, koju je i jedan profesor Univerziteta podupirao.
Međutim, nije se na tome svršilo.
Oktobra 1920, ja sam se bio rešio da odem iz Beograda i čekao sam na to, sa stanom u jednoj sobi hotela "Pariz", u Beogradu. Sa mnom, u istoj sobi, stanovao je i slikar Petar Dobrović. Petar se, sa mnom zajedno, i u Pariz spremao.
Tu mi je jednog dana saopšteno da u "Dnevnik o Čarnojeviću", ne može ući više od 5 tabaka.
Tih dana ja sam imao mnogo briga, i neprilika, u svom privatnom životu, i bio sam razdražen toliko, da sam spaljivao stara pisma, pa i rukopise, koje u Zagrebu nisam štampao. Pa sam i ono što nije moglo da uđe u Dnevnik spalio.
Dobrović se tome, grohotom, smejao.
Veli, kad dođe u Pariz, i on će svoje stare slike tako.
Petar je autor vinjete na naslovnim stranama biblioteke "Albatros" (po Bodleru). Njegov Albatros tu liči na patku. Možda pravog albatrosa nije bio još video, ili ga se nije sećao.
Vinaver je vršio korekturu "Dnevnika", dok se štampao, pa je pomešao i raspored pojedinih poglavlja.
Ja sam onda već bio u Parizu.”

“Ja se pyöri tuo pallo, ja sen mukana kiersivät yhtä pirun viuhakkaa ihmiset ja hevoset, kissat ja pässit, mehtikanat ja petäjät, pilvenpiirtäjät ja pellavaloukut, rautatiet ja hauet ja matikat, kunnanvaltuustot ja muikkunuotat ja siinä oli vaikka minkälaista porukkaa ja häntäsakkia.

“Ja smatram da postoje svi razlozi za život, ali ne uvek, ne i za svakoga. Ponekad nema smisla živeti samo života radi. Ali o tome ne možemo ubedljivo razgovarati. Ni sporiti. Sva su ta velika pitanja života sasvim lična stvar.”

“Ja, smutek, jestem z tobą. Ja jestem twój smutek, ponieważ smutki innych ludzi wstydzą się ciebie, kryją się, nie chcą się ośmieszyć. Dzielą z tobą łoże, chleb i sól, a ty beze mnie nigdy nie poznałbyś ich smaku. Zasypiasz, kiedy cię kołyszą, śpisz mną przykryty i budzisz się, kiedy przypomnisz sobie o mnie. Ubieram cię i żywię, bo przeze mnie, tylko przeze mnie jesteś zawzięty i uległy, jesteś wariatem i mędrcem, jesteś tym, w czym inni widzą twoją wartość i marność, tym, co ich smutki w tobie cenią i czego nie cenią. Ja, smutek, prowadzę cię ku wszystkim zabawom, w to, w czym chciałeś albo nie chciałeś być i czym jesteś, chociaż nie chcesz o tym wiedzieć. I ja jestem winny temu, jakie kłamstwa mówisz innym i do czego przyznajesz się przed samym sobą, jestem winny i temu, że nie czujesz się winny. Prowadzę cię, byś szukał i nie znalazł, prowadzę cię, żebyś stał się tym, co poszukuje. Umiem udawać, umiem schować się w kącie i zmaleć, umiem być wielki i cię zagarnąć. Jestem wszystkimi twoimi miłościami, nigdy twoją nienawiścią, dlatego nie żywisz jej tam, gdzie powinieneś. Ale skoro mnie poznałeś, to już zawsze w wodach stojących i tych, co płyną wartko, będziesz widział moje postrzępione odbicie. A jeśli zechcesz mieć duszę, będziesz ją mieć, bo ja, smutek, jestem całą twoją duszą, twoim współczuciem i nieczułością, uczynkami dobrymi i złymi oraz świadomością tego, czym są. Ty i ja nazywamy to życiem. Przywykliśmy. Nie jesteśmy niczym innym niż sobą nawzajem i to właśnie nazywamy życiem. Jeżeli znasz mnie wystarczająco dobrze, to wiesz, że prowadzę cię ku śmierci jak baranka potulnego i pozbawionego wełny - do owczarni, gdzie już mnie przy tobie nie będzie, bo ja, smutek, nie mam nikogo poza tobą (…)”
“Ja sutra imam ispit za koji nisam dovoljno učila.

“Ja też czuję, jak coś we mnie wrzeszczy, jak skowyczy. Czuję, jak mnie wypełnia coś takiego obcego, coś czarnego. Taka ciemność skłębiona, złość, smutek, beznadzieja taka. Czuję, jakbym się nażarł, ja wiem, takiej czarnej waty i ona mnie teraz całego wypełnia i ja już nie wiem nawet, czy ja dalej jestem sobą, czy to, co czuję, to są moje uczucia, czy to ta ciemność we mnie.”

“Ja, verdammt, sie leidet darunter, dass es mir einfach nicht mehr so schlecht geht wie ihr. Nicht mehr schlecht genug, um mich bei ihr auszuweinen. Unsere Freundschaft ist einseitig geworden: Früher hatten wir gemeinsame Themen, gemeinsame Ärgernisse, gemeinsame Feinde – zum Beispiel Männer und ihre Makel. Das war ergiebig, da hatten wir uns Bände zu erzählen, da konnten wir aus dem Vollen schöpfen. Seit Bernhard ist das anders geworden. Ich kann beim besten Willen nichts Schlechtes über ihn sagen. Es hat keinen Sinn, mich künstlich über Lappalien aufzuregen, nur um Mia ein Gefühl der Solidarität vorzutäuschen. Wir befinden uns eben in grundverschiedenen Lebenssituationen. Das ist das Problem zwischen Mia und mir”

“Ja viem, že to nejde, poznať Božie plány, ale tých ľudí som mu zazlievala, že mu tak ledabolo vykĺzli z hlavy. Ťažko na nich pozerať, ako trčia do prázdna, grambľaví, a nielenže neplnia svoje poslanie, oni sa, kde môžu, Bohu dokonca priečia: keď prší, skrývajú sa pod dáždnikom, napríklad v zime si obliekajú hrubé kabáty, a keď ochorejú, hltajú kadejaké prášky a bylinky, len aby z choroby vykľučkovali. Že by im Boh chcel tým všetkým niečo naznačiť, to im ani nezíde na um.”
“Ja volim jesen, to je žalosno godišnje doba kao stvoreno za uspomene. Kada stabla više nemaju lišće, kada nebo zadržava još i u sutonu riđu šaru koja pozlaćuje uvelu travu, slatko je gledati gdje se gasi sve ono što je još nedavno gorjelo u vama.”

“JA: We wouldn’t mind a leak from Google, which would be, I think,
probably all the Patriot Act requests.275
ES: Which would be [whispers] illegal.
[Nervous chuckles]
JA: It depends on the jurisdiction . . . !
[Chuckles]
ES: We are a US—
JA: There are higher laws. First Amendment, you know.
ES: No, I’ve actually spent quite a bit of time on this question because I am
in great trouble because I have given a series of criticisms about Patriot I
and Patriot II, because they’re nontransparent, because the judge’s orders
are hidden and so forth and so on. The answer is that the laws are quite
clear about Google in the US. We couldn’t do it. It would be illegal.”
“Ja, wir wussten viel und fühlten wenig. Wir durften es nicht fühlen und hörten doch T. S. Elliot fragen: "Where is the wisdom we lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we lost in information?".
Hörten es und häuften mehr Informationen auf. Als bräuchten wir zum Handeln einen neuen Klimabericht, einen Schadensbericht über die Weltmeere, den Regenwald, die grassierende Armut. Aber aus all den Fakten ist keine Praxis entsprungen, die auf der Höhe der drohenden Zukunft wäre.
Das Gefühl ist ein schlechter Ratgeber, sagen wir immer noch - als ob der gesunde Menschenverstand ein besserer wäre! - und stärken unser Immunsystem durch Bilder vom Schwund der Menschen, der ertrinkenden, zerbombten, ausgesetzten Menschen, die wir in keine Erzählung bringen, nicht weiterdenken, nicht weiter fühlen wollen.

“Jace had disappeared under the table. He appeared a moment later, holding Church, the Institute's part-time cat. Church had his paws stuck straight out and a look of satisfaction on his face. "We thought the same thing," said Jace, settling the cat on his lap. "But apparently, according to Magnus, there are spells that can be constructed to be activated by a warlock's death."
Emma glared at Church. She knew the cat had once lived in the New York Institute, but it seemed rude to show preference so blatantly. The cat was lying on his back on Jace's lap, purring and ignoring her.”

“Jace looked as if she had slapped him. "Why are you determined not to believe us?" "Because she loves you," said Valentine. Clary felt the blood drain out of her face.”
“Jace perched on the windowsill and looked down at him. "You really don't get this bodyguard thing, do you?" "I didn't even think you liked me all that much," said Simon. "Is this one of those keep-your-friends-close-and-your-enemies-closer things?"

“Jace set what he was holding down on the windowsill and reached out to her. She came to lean against him, and his hand slid up under her t-shirt and rested caressingly, possessively, on the small of her back. He bent to kiss her, gently at first, but the gentleness went quickly and soon she was pressed up against the glass of the window, his hands at the hem of her shirt — his shirt —
“Jace.” She moved a little bit away. “I’m pretty sure people down there in the street can see us.”
“We could …” He gestured toward the bed. “Move…over there.”
She grinned. “You said that like it took you a while to come up with the idea.”
When he spoke, his voice was muffled against her neck. “What can I say, you make my thought processes slow down. Now I know what it’s like to be a normal person.”
“How … is it?” The things he was doing with his hands under the t-shirt were distracting.
