“Supuestamente estábamos destinados a ser Europa: pero no la Grecia ahora periférica o la España de la crisis o los barrios marginados de los suburbios parisinos actuales. Porque esa Europa también fue fabricada a partir de un recorte muy pequeño; así, se suponía que la Argentina sería como los barrios centrales de París. Eso posiblemente era lo que deseaban también los otros barrios de París y las otras ciudades francesas. Una aspiración bastante vanidosa y vana, incluso para varios países europeos. Esa ilusión tan desmesurada se combinó con caminos políticos que llevaban a rumbos bastante discordantes con el objetivo. Con el paso del tiempo se fue instalando la idea de que los argentinos teníamos un destino magnífico que no habíamos podido alcanzar, por alguna razón misteriosa o por culpa de tal o cual grupo.”

Jusqu'à ce qu'il connaisse
L'abomination de la désolation.
Et que tous les démons qui peuplent les ténèbres
Comprennent enfin, avec stupeur,

Dévore le cœur de l'homme.”

“Sur ma tombe, comme dans ma vie, il n'y aura pas de phrase grandiloquente. Sur la dalle de mon tombeau, on ne devra lire que deux syllabes: «zwi-zwi». C'est le cri des mésanges charbonnières que j'imite si bien qu'elles accourent aussitôt. Et imaginez que dans ce zwi-zwi qui d'habitude brillait comme une aiguille d'acier et rendait un son très clair et très grêle, il y a depuis quelques jours un trille tout à fait menu, une minuscule note de poitrine. Et savez-vous, mademoiselle Jacob, ce que cela signifie ? C'est le premier léger mouvement du printemps à venir : malgré la neige, le froid et la solitude, nous croyons, les mésanges charbonnières et moi, à la venue du printemps ! Et si, par trop d'impatience, il ne devait pas m'être donné de vivre ce printemps, n'oubliez pas que sur la dalle de ma tombe on ne doit lire rien d'autre que «zwi-zwi».

“Sura gyorsan összebarátkozott az újonnan érkezőkkel, Már teljesen meg is feledkezett a közöttük tátongó korkülönbségről, Egy alkalommal, amikor az ifjak elmentek újratölteni az italokat, maguk maradtak Tatjával. A fiatal nő barátságosan megfogta Sura kezét, majd így szólt: - Kedves Alekszandra Julianovna, bárcsak több időt tölthetnél itt. Ó, annyit mulathatnánk együtt. Sura ugyanolyan őszinteséggel válaszolt. - El tudom képzelni, Tatjána Tchoupilkina... - A közeli barátaim Tatyának hívnak. - Rendben van, Tatya. - Sajnos Dzselil és Kurt Szejit nemsoká távoynak Moszkvából. - Gyakran jönnek ide ? - Nem igazán. Soha nem tudni, hogy mikor tévednek ide legközelebb. Ahova a cár megy, oda szólítja őket a kötelesség. Nem mondhatnám, hogy unalmas életük van. Erre élénken felkacagott. - Tudod mit, kedves Alekszandra... - Szólíts nyugodtan Surának. Tatjána tovább kacagott. - Igen, kedves Sura, tudod mit ? Ha nem volnék balerina, akkor azt kívánnám, hadd lehessek az ő helyükben. Sura nem értette, hogy miért akarna a férfiak helyébe lépni egy ilyen híres és tündérszép hölgy, aki könnyedén elbűvölte a másik nem tagjait. Kérdő pillantást vetett felé, melytől Tatjána ismét elnevette magát.”

love is cruel

“Sure all life's highways at some point must end,
so I plan to ride it in style and plummet in a swan dive
when the pavement runs out...
And hopefully leave behind artistically
that which may make other roads
an even better ride...”

“Sure am glad I'm not royalty," I muttered. "I wouldn't want to have to bump uglies with someone I can't stand. On a regular basis. And no one else." "Ow!" I exclaimed, trying to yank my fingers from Trent but finding them caught. Then I colored, realizing what I'd said. "Oh… sorry," I stammered, meaning it. "That was insensitive." Trent's frown turned into a sly smirk. "Bump uglies?" he said, eyes on the table behind me. "You are a font of gutter slang, Rachel. We must do this again.”

“Sure as the most certain sure .... plumb in the uprights, well entreated, braced in the beams, Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical, I and this mystery we stand. Clear and sweet is my soul .... and clear and sweet is all that is not my soul, Lack one lacks both .... and the unseen is proved by the seen Till that becomes unseen and receives proof in its turn. To elaborate is no avail .... Learned and unlearned feel that it is so.”
“Sure as the most certain sure, plumb in the uprights, well entretied, braced in the beams, Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical, I and this mystery here we stand.”
