“Wives' at these events had limited choices: either they could stay by their husbands' sides to coach them on other guests' names and remind them of the ages of their children when asked, or they could congregate with other wives in a corner, like pedestrians caught in a rain shower with only one umbrella between them.”

“Wives, children, and goods must be had, and especially health, by him that can get it; but we are not so to set our hearts upon them that our happiness must have its dependence upon them; we must reserve a backshop, wholly our own and entirely free, wherein to settle our true liberty, our principal solitude and retreat. And in this we must for the most part entertain ourselves with ourselves, and so privately that no exotic knowledge or communication be admitted there; there to laugh and to talk, as if without wife, children, goods, train, or attendance, to the end that when it shall so fall out that we must lose any or all of these, it may be no new thing to be without them. We have a mind pliable in itself, that will be company; that has wherewithal to attack and to defend, to receive and to give: let us not then fear in this solitude to languish under an uncomfortable vacuity.”

“Wizard
Draw wisdom from inside
Don't lose vision
In circles, lines collide.”
“Wizard Hare was quite a sight,
With magic powers, he took flight.
He soared across the land so wide,
With his wand and hat by his side.
One day he met seven devils,
Who were up to their usual revels.
They looked at him with wicked eyes,
And said, "We'll make you pay the price."
But Wizard Hare was not afraid,
He knew his magic could be displayed.
He raised his wand and cast a spell,
And sent the devils straight to hell.
But they were not so easily defeated,
And soon they rose up, quite conceited.
They laughed and jeered at Wizard Hare,
And said, "We'll get you yet, beware!"
The devils plotted and schemed all night,
And when the dawn broke, they took to flight.
They flew to Wizard Hare's castle gate,
And there they lay in wait.
But Wizard Hare was not so daunted,
He had a plan, his magic flaunted.
He called upon the spirits of the air,
And sent them forth to do his share.
The spirits blew a mighty gust,
And the devils were thrown into the dust.
Wizard Hare then struck his wand,
And sent the devils to beyond.
The devils were never seen again,
And Wizard Hare remained a friend.
To all who knew him far and wide,
With his magic wand and hat by his side.”

“Wizards don't believe in gods in the same way that most people don't find it necessary to believe in, say, tables. They know they're there, they know they're there for a purpose, they'd probably agree that they have a place in a well-organised universe, but they wouldn't see the point of believing, of going around saying "O great table, without whom we are as naught." Anyway, either the gods are there whether you believe in them or not, or exist only as a function of the belief, so either way you might as well ignore the whole business and, as it were, eat off your knees.”

“Więc każdy z nas jest jak kupon od biletu całego, bo każdy powstał, niby ryba płaszczka, wraz z kimś drugim z jakiejś dawnej, jednej istoty. Toteż zawsze każdy z nas swego kuponu szuka.”
“Większość kobiet i mężczyzn zna miłość tylko ze słyszenia, a raczej liże ją przez szybę telewizyjnego ekranu, na którym nieskończonym wężem przesuwają się kolorowe sceny z brazylijskich seriali.

“Większość lekarzy sądowych to patolodzy sądowi – lekarze specjalizujący się w chorobach lub urazach tkanki. Jeśli mają okazję przeprowadzić sekcję zwłok w ciągu kilku godzin lub nawet dni od śmierci danej osoby, potrafią zwykle z zadziwiającą dokładnością określić czas i przyczynę zgonu. Kiedy jednak ciało znajduje się w stanie zaawansowanego rozkładu, przeprowadzenie autopsji może być trudne lub nawet niemożliwe. Tkanka miękka przechodzi w stan ciekły za sprawą oddziaływania bakterii, zmian chemicznych na poziomie komórek (proces rozpadu komórek zwany autolizą) oraz żerowania czerwi. Wraz z tkanką miękką znikają fizyczne ślady, których szuka patolog, takie jak rany zadane nożem. Jeśli jednak ślady ostrza lub innych urazów widoczne są na kościach, wykwalifikowany antropolog sądowy może odczytać ze szkieletu zdumiewającą ilość informacji długo po tym, gdy przeprowadzenie sekcji staje się niemożliwe.”

“Wo der Anfang der Existenz ist, ist auch der Anfang der Literatur. Wenn der Wind durchs Haus geht, muß man sich danach erkundigen, warum es so ist. Die Schönheit ist ein gutes Ding. Aber Schönheit ohne Wahrheit ist böse. Wahrheit ohne Schönheit ist besser. Sie bereitet die legitime Schönheit vor, die Schönheit hinter der Selbstdreingabe, hinter dem Schmerz.”
“Wo die Liebe herrscht, da gibt es keinen machtwillen, und wo die macht den vorrang hat, da fehlt die Liebe. Das eine ist der Schatten des andern.
Translation: Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.”

WO PAL BHI KYA PAL THE.
JO BITE HUE KAL ME THE.”
