comments in swedish, norwegian, danish, english, german are most welcome -- and even though i do read some french, spanish, dutch and italian, i prefer the aforementioned five languages -- please avoid double-posting quotes in both, e g, italian and english (choose the english version, since this would be the one most people have a chance to understand) -- note: i'm the dictator and if i'll find a comment to be destructive, to discussion or to another person, i won't hesitate to edit it or delete it.
"Perhaps humankind can't bear too much reality, but neither can it bear too much unreality, too much abuse of the truth." --Saul Bellow
"448 OMAR KHAYYÁM Omar had a personality; I, for better or worse, have none. In an hour I’ll have strayed from what I am at this moment; tomorrow I’ll have forgotten what I am today. Those who are who they are, like Omar, live in just one world, the external one. Those who aren’t who they are, like me, live not only in the external world but also in a diversified, ever-changing inner world. Try as we might, we could never have the same philosophy as Omar’s. I harbour in me, like unwanted souls, the very philosophies I criticize. Omar could reject them all, for they were all external to him, but I can’t reject them, because they’re me." --Pessoa
"Mrs Glass looked over, abstractedly, at the blue bathmat, across the tiled floor. Zooey stood as still as possible, in order not to break her mood. 'You can't live in the world with such strong likes and dislikes,' Mrs Glass said to the bathmat, then turned again toward Zooey and gave him a long look, with very little, if any, morality in it. 'Regardless of what you may think, young man,' she said." --JD Salinger
"Art only begins where imitation ends." --Oscar Wilde
