Мурасаки Сикибу

„Пусть ты непостоянна и ветрена, если нрав твой от природы открыт и людям с тобой легко, они не станут осуждать тебя.“

Мурасаки Сикибу

„Там, где льются изящные стихи, не остается места суесловию.“

Мурасаки Сикибу

„Как все-таки странно, что мелочи вдруг приходят на память, а то, что волновало когда-то, с годами забывается.“

Мурасаки Сикибу

„Ах, если бы знали, сколько на этом свете злых языков и как много в нем печали!“

Мурасаки Сикибу

„Следует говорить взвешивая слова. Такое умение встречается редко. И разве достойно держаться чересчур неприступно? С другой стороны, вряд ли стоит соваться туда, куда тебя не просят. Словом, трудно вести себя, как то следует при всяком ходе дел.“

Мурасаки Сикибу Цитаты о мужчинах

„Главное для женщин — быть приятной и мягкой, спокойной и уравновешенной. И тогда ее обхождение и доброта будут умиротворять. Пусть ты непостоянна и ветрена — если нрав твой от природы открыт и людям с тобой легко, они не станут осуждать тебя. Та же, кто ставит себя чересчур высоко, речью и видом — заносчива, обращает на себя внимание излишне, даже если ведет себя с осторожностью. А уж если на тебя устремлены взоры, то тут уже не избежать колкостей по поводу того, как ты входишь и садишься, встаешь и выходишь. Те же, чья речь полна несуразностей, суждения о людях — пренебрежительны, привлекают к себе еще больше глаз и ушей. Если же у тебя нет дурных наклонностей, то злословить о тебе не станут и отнесутся с сочувствием, хотя бы и показным.“

Мурасаки Сикибу

„Трудно найти человека, который бы действительно понимал тебя. Обычно люди судят лишь своими мерками, а других просто не принимают в расчет.“

Мурасаки Сикибу

„Тот, кто выходит из себя и задевает других, достоин насмешек. Люди истинно добросердечные думают и заботятся даже о тех, кто ненавидит их. Но так трудно достичь этого.“

Мурасаки Сикибу

„Если человек хорош в чем-то, в чем-то он и плох. Не к лицу, когда молодая дама ведет себя чересчур серьезно, а дамы, занимающие высокое положение, предаются шалостям.“

Мурасаки Сикибу цитаты

„Выискивать недостатки у других — легко, а себя сдерживать — трудно. Тот же, кто забывает о том и мнит о себе много, одних — умаляет, других — поносит, обнаруживает лишь собственную мелочность.“

Мурасаки Сикибу

„Беды этого мира — лишь недолговечная роса, и не должно душе заботиться ими, и не стоит жалеть сил, дабы прилепиться к праведности.“

Мурасаки Сикибу

„Сердце изменяется так быстро — не уследишь.“

Мурасаки Сикибу

„Для каждой малости есть свое место и время.“

“Sei Shōnagon is a smug and horrible person. She acts so smart and is always writing in true [Chinese] characters, but if you look closely, you can find lots of mistakes. People who try that hard to be different from everyone else always end up falling behind, with trouble waiting in their future; and people who are that affected act all mono no aware and attend all the interesting events even when they're lonely and bored, so that in the end the affectation stops being an act. How exactly are things going to end well for a person like that?”

Источник: The Tale of Genji

“Seeing the water birds on the lake increase in number day by day, I thought to myself how nice it would be if it snowed before we got back to the Palace—the garden would look so beautiful; and then, two days later, while I was away on a short visit, lo and behold, it did snow. As I watched the rather drab scene at home, I felt both depressed and confused. For some years now I had existed from day to day in listless fashion, taking note of the flowers, the birds in song, the way the skies change from season to season, the moon, the frost and snow, doing little more than registering the passage of time. How would it all turn out? The thought of my continuing loneliness was unbearable, and yet I had managed to exchange sympathetic letters with those of like mind—some contacted via fairly tenuous connections—who would discuss my trifling tales and other matters with me; but I was merely amusing myself with fictions, finding solace for my idleness in foolish words. Aware of my own insignificance, I had at least managed for the time being to avoid anything that might have been considered shameful or unbecoming; yet here I was, tasting the bitterness of life to the very full.”

trans. Richard Bowring (Penguin Books, 1996)
The Diary of Lady Murasaki

“To be pleasant, gentle, calm and self-possessed: this is the basis of good taste and charm in a woman. No matter how amorous or passionate you may be, as long as you are straightforward and refrain from causing others embarrassment, no one will mind. But women who are too vain and act pretentiously, to the extent that they make others feel uncomfortable, will themselves become the object of attention; and once that happens, people will find fault with whatever they say or do: whether it be how they enter a room, how they sit down, how they stand up or how they take their leave. Those who end up contradicting themselves and those who disparage their companions are also carefully watched and listened to all the more. As long as you are free from such faults, people will surely refrain from listening to tittle-tattle and will want to show you sympathy, if only for the sake of politeness. I am of the opinion that when you intentionally cause hurt to another, or indeed if you do ill through mere thoughtless behavior, you fully deserve to be censured in public. Some people are so good-natured that they can still care for those who despise them, but I myself find it very difficult. Did the Buddha himself in all his compassion ever preach that one should simply ignore those who slander the Three Treasures? How in this sullied world of ours can those who are hard done by be expected to reciprocate in kind?”

The Diary of Lady Murasaki

“I have finally realized how rarely you will find a flawless woman, one who is simply perfect. No doubt there are many who seem quite promising, write a flowing hand, give you back a perfectly acceptable poem, and all in all do credit enough to the rank they have to uphold, but you know, if you insist on any particular quality, you seldom find one who will do. Each one is all too pleased with her own accomplishments, runs others down, and so on. While a girl is under the eye of her adoring parents and living a sheltered life bright with future promise, it seems men have only to hear of some little talent of hers to be attracted. As long as she is pretty and innocent, and young enough to have nothing else on her mind, she may well put her heart into learning a pastime that she has seen others enjoy, and in fact she may become quite good at it. And when those who know her disguise her weaknesses and advertise whatever passable qualities she may have so as to present them in the best light, how could anyone think ill of her, having no reason to suspect her of being other than she seems? But when you look further to see whether it is all true, I am sure you can only end up disappointed.”

Spoken by Tō no Chūjō in Ch. 2: The Broom Tree (trans. Royall Tyler)
Tale of Genji

“[The art of the novel] does not simply consist in the author's telling a story about the adventures of some other person. On the contrary, it happens because the storyteller's own experience of men and things, whether for good or ill—not only what he has passed through himself, but even events which he has only witnessed or been told of—has moved him to an emotion so passionate that he can no longer keep it shut up in his heart.”

“So all they see of me is a façade. There are times when I am forced to sit with them and on such occasions I simply ignore their petty criticisms, not because I am particularly shy but because I consider it pointless. As a result, they now look upon me as a dullard.
"Well, we never expected this!" they all say. "No one liked her. They all said she was pretentious, awkward, difficult to approach, prickly, too fond of her tales, haughty, prone to versifying, disdainful, cantankerous and scornful; but when you meet her, she is strangely meek, a completely different person altogether!"
How embarrassing! Do they really look upon me as such a dull thing, I wonder? But I am what I am. Her Majesty has also remarked more than once that she had thought I was not the kind of person with whom she could ever relax, but that I have now become closer to her than any of the others. I am so perverse and standoffish. If only I can avoid putting off those for whom I have a genuine regard.”

“When my brother… was a young boy learning the Chinese classics, I was in the habit of listening with him and I became unusually proficient at understanding those passages that he found too difficult to grasp and memorize. Father, a most learned man, was always regretting the fact: "Just my luck!" he would say. "What a pity she was not born a man!" But then I gradually realized that people were saying "It's bad enough when a man flaunts his Chinese learning; she will come to no good," and since then I have avoided writing the simplest [Chinese] character. My handwriting is appalling.”
