Doris Lessing цитаты

„Художники пишут глазами любви, и только глазам любви следует судить их.“

„Обучение - это, на самом деле, когда ты вдруг что-то понимаешь, что ты понимал всю свою жизнь, но иначе.“

„Думай неправильно, думай, как хочешь, но в любом случае думай для себя.“

“This world is run by people who know how to do things. They know how things work. They are equipped. Up there, there's a layer of people who run everything. But we — we're just peasants. We don't understand what's going on, and we can't do anything.”

“Pearls mean tears.”

“I knew, and it was an illumination — one of those things one has always known, but never understood before — that all sanity depends on this: that it should be a delight to feel the roughness of a carpet under smooth soles, a delight to feel heat strike the skin, a delight to stand upright, knowing the bones are moving easily under flesh. If this goes, then the conviction of life goes too. But I could feel none of this. … I knew I was moving into a new dimension, further from sanity than I had ever been.”
