For Whom The Bell Tolls
“For him it was a dark passage which led to nowhere, then to nowhere, then again to nowhere, once again to nowhere, always and for ever to nowhere, heavy on the elbows in the earth to nowhere, dark, never any end to nowhere, hung on all time always to unknowing nowhere, this time and again always and to nowhere, now beyond all bearing up, up, up, and into nowhere, suddenly, scaldingly, holdingly all nowhere gone and time absolutely still and they were both there, time having stopped and he felt the earth move out and away from under them.”
Sayfa 154 - Penguin BooksKitabı okudu
... “Now he would like to retire like a matador de toros. Like a bullfighter. But he cannot retire.”
Anselmo
You never kill anyone you want to kill in a war, he said to himself.
“That is unjust”, said Pablo. “I expose the horses all the time for the cause.”
“Very little,” said Anselmo scornfully. “Very little in my judgment. To steal, yes. To eat, yes. To murder, yes. To fight, NO.”
Pablo-Anselmo
...I wonder if you keep on learning or if there is only a certain amount each man can understand. I thought I knew so many things that I know nothing of. I wish there was more time.
There is only now
There is nothing else than now. There is neither yesterday, certainly, nor is there any tomorrow. How old must you be before you know that?
There is only now, and if now is only two days, then two days is your life and everything in it will be proportion. This is how you live a life in two days. And if you stop complaining and asking for what you never will get, you will have a good life. A good life is not measured by any biblical span.
There will always be people who say it does not exist because they cannot have it. But i tell you it is true and that you have it and that you are lucky even if you die tomorrow.
