Туве Янссон цитаты

„Был конец августа. По ночам ухали совы, большими чёрными стаями слетались и бесшумно кружили над садом летучие мыши. В лесу мерцали блуждающие огоньки, море волновалось. Воздух был полон предвкушения и печали, луна стала огромная, жарко-оранжевая.
Муми-тролль всегда любил эти последние недели лета, хотя толком не знал почему. По-другому звучали ветер и море, всё пахло грядущими изменениями, деревья стояли в ожидании.“

Туве Янссон: Цитаты на английском языке

“I love borders. August is the border between summer and autumn; it is the most beautiful month I know.

Twilight is the border between day and night, and the shore is the border between sea and land. The border is longing: when both have fallen in love but still haven't said anything. The border is to be on the way. It is the way that is the most important thing.”

“A theatre is the most important sort of house in the world, because that's where people are shown what they could be if they wanted, and what they'd like to be if they dared to and what they really are”

“But that's how it is when you start wanting to have things. Now, I just look at them, and when I go away I carry them in my head. Then my hands are always free, because I don't have to carry a suitcase.”

I met a little girl with a book under her arm.
I asked her why she was out so early and
she answered that there were too many books and
