“Uma vez me falaram algo que nunca esqueci: nossas vidas são livros, livros dos quais nós somos os autores . Imagine que você, autor, continua insistindo em trazer um personagem antigo à vida apenas porque tem um apego muito grande nele, mas não o desenvolve direito, não lhe dá tempo para melhorar suas atitudes e continua lhe permitindo continuar a mesma coisa de sempre . Seus leitores ficariam de saco cheio de ler toda hora sobre um personagem desse jeito, não é?”

“Uma visão de mundo calcada em meras polarizações binárias frequentemente pavimenta o caminho para perspectivas que simplesmente não abarcam realidades outras, tornando-se perigosamente conflituosas: a oposição entre o “Eu” e o “Outro” pode facilmente desdobrar-se em valorações como “civilizado” e “bárbaro”, “local” e “estrangeiro”, “virtuoso” e “monstruoso”, “bom” e “mau”
- desdobramentos esses que atravessam a figura do vampiro.
É necessário continuamente fomentar a discussão sobre a leviandade da aplicação desse tipo de oposição rigidamente binária para valorar e/ou definir indivíduos ou grupos. Enquanto falharmos em considerar que entre um ponto qualquer e outro há um continuum permeado por significativas variantes geográficas, temporais, socioculturais, políticas, religiosas e morais, que se aproximam, atraem-se e entrelaçam-se de diversas maneiras, estaremos em desserviço para com a complexidade da natureza humana.”

“Umanii faceau mereu lucruri pe care nu la placea sa le faca. De fapt, in conformitate cu cea mai buna estimare a mea, in orice moment dat, doar 0.3 procente dintre umani faceau, in mod activ, ceva ce le placea sa faca si, chiar si cand o faceau, simteau o cantitate arzatoare de vina in legatura cu asta si isi promiteau, cu ravna lor insisi ca se vor reintoarce la a face ceva oribil de neplacut foarte, foarte curand.”

“Umbert hacía todo lo posible por ser correcto. Y lo era de veras, genuinamente. Tenía el más profundo respeto por las niñas ordinarias, con su pureza y vulnerabilidad, y bajo ninguna circunstancia habría perturbado la inocencia de una criatura de haber el menor riesgo de alboroto. Pero cómo latía su corazón cuando vislumbraba entre el montón inocente a una niña demoníaca, «enfant charmante et fourbe», de ojos turbios, labios brillantes, diez años encarcelados, no bien le demostraba uno que estaba mirándola.”

that I had cut school

I had cut school
to sit in the park
on a bench with my sketch pad
drawing trees and leaves and sky and birds
just to get my skills up
just to understand the rules
of line and texture
and shading
and
black and white
Just so I can break those rules
And I didn’t need Ms. Rinaldi
to tell me that I wasn’t advanced
or I didn’t have history”

“Umiem dodawać, odejmować, dzielić i mnożyć, ale zupełnie gubię się w ułamkach. W każdym razie chodzi o to, że obierając kolejne skórki z atomowej cebuli dochodzimy wreszcie do miejsca, gdzie wszystko jest już obrane i nie ma żadnego atomu ani jego cząsteczek, tylko inne maleńkie cząsteczki, które nie są właściwie cząsteczkami, ale wibrującymi falami energii.
Wniosek: wszystko, co jest materialne, składa się z niczego.”

“Umjesto da osjetiš zavist, samo se smješkaš, ideš dalje i nastojiš se usavršiti u radu. Boriš se sa svojim nesavršenostima koje možda otkriješ u tuđim dostignućima! Samo što većina ljudi nije takva, naprotiv, rade upravo suprotno! Možda zato što je mnogo teže raditi nego cmizdriti!”

“Umjetnost je ono u što stane Svijet. Roman koji ću čitati sljedećih petnaest dana sasvim će me izmijeniti, preusmjeriti mi život. Film, simfonija, veličanstveni spjev Borisa A. Novaka, o kojemu će tek biti riječi... U to stane svijet. I onda se, ponekad, plače. Nije ta mala Terezina pjesma velika zato što se majka nad njom rasplakala - plače se i dok se guli i reže kapula- ona je velika zato što njoj, mojoj majci, sugerira sav njen život.”
“Umjetnost temeljena isključivo na estetskoj vrijednosti nepotpuna je.”

underage drinking, trying to kill a government
leader man, that was fun. Oh, killed fifty people
in one sitting, and ran from the law and yet the
