Роберт Вальзер цитаты

„Все женщины заслуживают комплиментов. В каждой женщине есть что-то благородное. Я видел, как прачки двигаются, как королевы.“

„Кто не умеет отказываться, тому не испытать глубокого наслаждения.“

“With all my ideas and follies I could one day found a corporate company for the propagation of beautiful but unreliable imaginings.”

“That is all very senseless, but this senselessness has a pretty mouth, and it smiles.”

“When we realize that words can destroy something good, wonderful, and dear, and that by keeping silent we can avoid causing the least damage or harm, it’s easy to stay silent.”

“Every sensitive person carries in himself old cities enclosed by ancient walls”

“One is always half mad when one is shy of people.”

“How small life is here
and how big nothingness.
The sky, tired of light,
has given everything to the snow.

The two trees bow
their heads to each other.
Clouds cross the world’s
silence in a circle dance”

“I am not here [in the sanitarium] to write, but to be mad.”
