“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
—Ernest Hemingway (via concupisco)
“Just imagine living in a world without mirrors. You’d dream about your face and imagine it as an outer reflection of what is inside you. And then, when you reached forty, someone put a mirror before you for the first time in your life. Imagine your fright! You’d see the face of a stranger. And you’d know quite clearly what you are unable to grasp: your face is not you.”
—Milan Kundera (via glasgow)
“meni se pričinja kao da je u svakom odlaženju nešto užasno tajnovito; kao da zbilja iza nas ostaje komad života koji nigda, nigda više ne možemo dostignuti. i strah me hvata - strah, kao da ću u onom novom svijetu u koji hrlim naći nešto nepoznato i novo na što se neću moći priučiti.”
—milutin cihlar nehajev (via eardur)
