Gultā viss šķiet skaisti.

If you ever live to be as old as I am you will find many things strange. You never seem old. It is the body that is old. Sometimes I am afraid I will break off a finger as one breaks a stick of chalk. And the spirit is no older and not much wiser. You are wise. No, that is the great fallacy; the wisdom of old men. They do not grow wise. They grow careful. Perhaps that is wisdom. It is a very unattractive wisdom.

Then nothing worries you? Only being sent away from you. You’re my religion. You’re all I’ve got.

I remember all of these things happening and the places we lived in and the fine times and the bad times we had in that year. But much more vividly I remember living in the book and making up what happened in it every day. Making the country and the people and the things that happened I was happier than I had ever been. Each day I read the book through from the beginning to the point where I went on writing and each day I stopped when I was still going good and when I knew what would happen next. The fact the book was a tragic one did not make me unhappy since I believed that life was a tragedy and knew it could have only one end. But finding you were able to make something up; to create truly enough so that it made you happy to read it; and to do this every day you worked was something that gave a greater pleasure than any I had ever known. Beside it nothing else mattered.

Love is the wanting to do things for.

Drink it down, baby, and look forward to being sick.

We slept when we were tired and if we woke the other one woke too so one was not alone. Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that. We could feel alone when we were together, alone against the others ... But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together.

It evidently made no difference whether I was there to look after things or not.

The whole thing seemed to run better while I was away.

It was one of those things that gave you a false feeling of soldering.

You have that pleasant air of a dog in heat.

You wouldn't believe it. It's like a wonderful nightmare.""Sure," I said. "I'd believe anything. Including nightmares." "What's the matter? Feel low?""Low as hell.

She was looking into my eyes with that way she had of looking that made you wonder whether she really saw out of her own eyes. They would look on and on after everyone else's eyes in the world would have stopped looking. She looked as though there were nothing on earth she would not look at like that, and really she was afraid of so many things.

You paid some way for everything that was any good. I paid my way into enough things that I liked, so that I had a good time. Either you paid by learning about them, or by experience, or by taking chances, or by money.

remember him, Brett said. I do. Remember him perfectly. Look, Jake, we’ll come down the night

I knew that now, reading it in the oversensitized state of my mind after much too much brandy, I would remember it somewhere, and afterwards it would seem as though it had really happened to me. I would always have it. That was another good thing you paid for and then had.

Let us not doubt, brother. Let us not pry into the holy mysteries of the hen-coop with simian fingers.

I drank a bottle of wine for company. It was a Château Margaux. It was pleasant to be drinking slowly and to be tasting the wine and to be drinking alone. A bottle of wine was good company.

The grain-fields went up the hillsides. Now as we went higher there was a wind blowing the grain.

Ma arvasin, et olin juba kõige eest maksnud. Mitte nii nagu naised, kes aina maksavad ja maksavad ja maksavad. Ei mingit tasu ja karistuse põhimõtet. Lihtne väärtuste vahetus. Sa annad midagi ära ja saad midagi vastu. Või sa töötad millegi eest. Nii või teisiti maksad sa kõige eest, mis midagi väärt on. Olin lunastanud endale elus palju asju, mis mulle meeldisid, ja sellepärast olin elust mõnu tundnud. Asjade eest, mis sulle rõõmu valmistavad, võib maksta mitmeti - teadmiste, kogemuste, riski või rahaga. Et elust mõnu tunda, selleks tuleb õppida oma raha eest midagi täisväärtuslikku saama ja seda teadlikult nautima. Üldiselt on see võimalik. Maailm on hea kaubamaja.
