Niste citate:

“She felt a nausea of the soul, a hideous and sickening despair, a melancholy
weariness so profound that she was going to die of it. Her last conscious thought was disgust at life; her senses had lied to her. The world was not made of energy and delight but of foulness, betrayal, and lassitude. Living was hateful, and death was no better, and from end to end of the universe this was the first and last and only truth. Thus she stood, bow in hand, indifferent, dead in life. ”

“Tirelessly they flew on and on, and tirelessly she kept pace. She felt a fierce joy possessing her, that she could command these immortal presences. And she rejoiced in her blood and flesh, in the rough pine bark she felt next to her skin, in the beat of her heart and the life of all her senses, and in the hunger she was feeling now, and in the presence of her sweet-voiced bluethroat daemon, and in the earth below her and the lives of every creature, plant and animal both; and she delighted in being of the same substance as them, and in knowing that when she died her flesh would nourish other lives as they had nourished her.”

“We feel cold, but we don’t mind it, because we will not come to harm. And if we wrapped up against the cold, we wouldn’t feel other things, like the bright tingle of the stars, or the music of the Aurora, or best of all the silky feeling of moonlight on our skin.”

Recomand deci cartea asta, nu e orice carte, la fel ca si Ishmael – multe lucruri care apar in ea, m-am gandit si eu la ele inainte, si acum aflu ca nu sunt singur, si autorul cartii s-a gandit si probabil si altii dar nu le-au exprimat. Ce spun citatele de mai sus, mai ales ultimul – nu e doar “poezie” si “asa vorbesc poetii si scriitorii, get real”. Asemenea lucruri fac viata sa merite traita, fara un “motivational speaker”. Le-am pierdut. Nu sunt “nimicuri”. Daca astea sunt nimicuri, ce e important atunci ? “Economia” ? …. La fel cum animatorii lui Myazaki nu stiau cum arata un foc de lemne cand au vrut sa-l deseneze.
