"Nego je bio uveren čak i u to da u Evropi nema nikakvih političkih teškoća, da nema ni rata, nego ima nekakva komedija sa lutkama u kojoj igraju sadašnji ljudi, praveći se kao da rade neki posao."

Dečja priča- E, sad - reče Vanja i stavi svesku na sto - hajde da pišemo priču. - Hajde - reče Lenočka i sede na stolicu. Vanja uze olovku u napisa: Bio jednom jedan kralj. Onda se zamisli i zagleda u tavanicu. Lenočka pogleda u svesku i pročita šta je Vanja napisao. - Već postoji takva priča - reče Lenočka. - Otkud znaš? - upita Vanja. - Znam jer sam čitala - reče Lenočka. - Kako ide? - upita Vanja. - Kralj je pio kompot od jabuka kada mu nešto zape u grlu; kraljica ga udari po leđima kako bi mu izbila parče jabuke, ali kralj pomisli kako ona hođe da se bije pa je tresnu čašom po glavi. Kraljica se razjari i raspali kralja tanjirom. Kralj lupi kraljicu činijom. Kraljica udari kralja stolicom. Kralj skoči i udari kraljicu stolom. Kraljica sruši orman na kralja. Ali kralj ispuza ispod ormana i tresnu kraljicu svojom krunom. Onda kraljica dohvati kralja za kosu i zavitla ga kroz prozor. Ali kralj se dotetura natrag u sobu kroz drugi prozor, zgrabi kraljicu i gurnu je u peć. Međutim, kraljia se provuče kroz dimnjak na krov, spusti se niz gromobran u baštu i vrati se u sobu kroz prozor. Kralj zapali vatru u peći da spali kraljicu. Kraljica se došunja iza njega i gurnu ga. Kralj upade u peć i izgore. To je kraj priče - reče Lenočka. - Vrlo glupa priča - reče Vanja. - Ja sam hteo da napišem jednu sasvim drugu. - Hajde onda, napiši je - reče Lenočka. Vanja uze olovku i napisa: Bio jednom jedan razbojnik. - Čekaj malo! - uzviknu Lenočka. - Već postoji jedna takva bajka. - Nisam znao - reče Vanja. - Kako da ne! - reče Lenočka. - Razbojnik je pokušavao da pobegne od čuvara i skočio na konja, ali je skočio prejako, preleteo na durugu stranu i pao. Razbojnik onda opsova i ponovo skoči na konja, ali opet pade na drugu stranu jer nije dobro procenio svoj skok. Razbojnik se podiže, zapreti pesnicom, skoči na konja opet prejako i pade. Onda razbojnik izvuče iz opasača pištolj, opali u vazduh i ponovo skoči na konja, ali s takvom silinom da prelete preko njega i tresnu na zemlju. Onda zgrabi kapu s glave, zavitla je na zemlju, izgazi je i opet skoči na konja, i ponovo predaleko, pa pade i slomi nogu. Konj otkasa malo dalje. Razbojnik odšepa do konja i tresnu ga pesnicom po glavi. Konj pobeže. Čuvari dojahaše i baciše razbojnika u zatvor. - Ali ja neću da pišem o rabojniku - reč Vanja. - Pa o čemu hoćeš da pišeš? - upita Lenočka. - Hoću da pišem priču o kovaču - reče Vanja. Vanja napisa: Bio jednom jedan kovač. - Postoji već jedna slična priča! - viknu Lenočka. - Stvarno? - reče Vanja i ostavi olovku. - Naravno - reče Lenočka - bio jednom jedan kovač. I, jednog dana, kovao on potkovicu i toliko jako zamahnuo čekićem da je glava čekića poletela sa drške, odletela kroz prozor, ubila četiri goluba, udarila u vatrogasnu kulu, odbila se na drugu stranu, razbila prozor na kući komandira vatrogasne brigade, preletela preko stola za kojim su sedeli komandir vatrogasne brigade i njegova žena, probila zid kuće komandira vatrogasne brigade i izletela na ulicu. Tamo je zveknula u jednu banderu okrznula nogu sladolexije i pogodila Karla Ivanoviča Šusterlinga u glavu. Baš u tom trenutku on je skinuo svoj šešir da rashladi glavu. Pošto je pogodila u glavu Karla Ivanoviča Šusterlinga, glava čekića je poletela nazad, ponovo okrznula sladolexiju po nozi, udarila dva mačora koji su se borili na krovu, tresnula jednu kravu, ubila četiri vrapca, opet uletela u kovačnicu i vratila se na dršku koju je kovač još uvek držao zamahnutu u svojoj desnoj ruci. Sve se to desilo tako brzo da kovač nije ništa primetio, pa je nastavio da kuje potkovicu. - Znam da je priča o kovaču već napisana, ali ja hoću da napišem priču o sebi - reče Vanja i napisa: Bio jednom jedan dečak po imenu Vanja. - Već postoji takva priča - reče Lenočka. - Bio jednom jedan dečak po imenu Vanja i jednom on pođe... - Čekaj malo - reče Vanja - ja sam hteo da napišem jednu pirču o sebi. - Već je napisana jedna priča o tebi - reče Lenočka. - To je nemoguće - reče Vanja. - Kažem ti, već je napisana - reče Lenočka. - Ko je napisao? - upita Vanja zapanjeno. - Napisao je Danil Harms i zove se Dečja priča. 1935.

Fridrih Niče, Rođenje tragedije iz duha muzikeMetafizička uteha - kojom nas, kako sam ovde već nagovestio, otpušta svaka prava tragedija - da je život u osnovi, uprkos svekolikoj meni pojava, nerazorno moćan i pun naslade, pojavljuje se opipljivo jasno kao hor satira, kao hor prirodnih stvorenja što iza svekolike civilizacije neuništivo žive i, uprkos svekolikoj meni pokolenja i istorije naroda, večito ostaju ista. Tim horom teši sebe dubokomisaoni i za najtananije i najteže patnje jedinstveno sposobni Helen, koji se oštrim okom zagledao u središte strašnog razornog vrtloga tzv. svetske istorije, kao i u svirepo delanje prirode, pa se nalazi u opasnosti da ga obuzme čežnja za budističkim poricanjem volje. Njega spasava umetnost, a pomoću nje spasava ga za sebe - život.

Milan Kundera, Nepodnošljiva lakoća postojanja ...Iza svih evropskih vera, religijskih i političkih, stoji prvo poglavlje Postanka, iz kojeg sledi da je svet stvoren kako treba, da je postojanje dobro i da je, prema tome, ispravno i množiti se. Nazovimo tu osnovnu veru kategorička saglasnost s postojanjem. Ako je do pre kratkog vremena reč ''govno'' zamenjivana u knjigama tačkama, to nije bilo iz moralnih razloga. T? nećete, nadam se, tvrditi kako je govno nemoralno! Otpor prema govnima metafizičkog je karaktera. Trenutak deficiranja je svakodnevni dokaz neprihvatljivosti stvaranja. Ili-ili: ili je govno prihvatljivo (u tom slučaju, ne treba se zaključavati u zahodu), ili smo stvoreni na neprihvatljiv način. Iz toga proizilazi da je estetski ideal ''kategoričke saglasnosti s postojanjem'' svet u kome se o govnu ne govori, u kome se svi drže kao da ono ne postoji. Taj estetski ideal naziva se ''kič''. ''Kič'' je nemačka reč koja se rodila sredinom sentimentalnog XIX veka i kasnije prešla u sve jezike. Česta upotreba je, međutim, izbrisala njen prvobitni značaj - kič je apsolutno negiranje govna, u doslovnom i prenesenom smislu. Kič isključuje iz svog vidokruga sve što je u ljudskoj egzistenciji suštinski neprihvatljivo...

ELEGY II:THE TRIUMPH OF LOVEWho is it that can tell me why my bed seems so is hard and why the bedclothes will not stay upon it? Wherefore has this night-and oh, how long it was!-dragged on, bringing no sleep to my eyes? Why are my weary limbs visited with restlessness and pain? If it were Love that had come to make me suffer, surely I should know it. Or stay, what if he slips in like a thief, what if he comes, without a word of warning, to wound me with his cruel arts? Yes, ?tis he! His slender arrows have pierced my heart, and fell Love holds it like a conquered land. Shall I yield me to him? Or shall I strive against him, and so add fuel to this sudden flame? Well, I will yield; burdens willingly borne do lighter weigh. I know that the flames will leap from the shaken torch and die away in the one you leave alone. The young oxen which rebel against the yoke are more often beaten than those which willingly submit. And if a horse be fiery, harsh is the bit that tames him. When he takes to -the fray with a will, he feels the curb less galling. And so it is with Love; for hearts that struggle and rebel against him, he is more implacable and stern than for such as willingly confess his sway.Ah well, be it so, Cupid; thy prey am I. I am a poor captive kneeling with suppliant hands before my conqueror. What is the use of fighting? Pardon and peace is what I ask. And little, I trow, would it redound to your glory, armed as you are, to strike down a defenceless man. Crown thy brows with myrtle and thy mother's doves yoke to thy car. Thy step-father will give thee the chariot that befits thee, and upon that chariot, amid the acclamations of the throng, thou shalt stand a conqueror, guiding with skill thy harnessed birds. Captives in thy train, youths and maidens shall follow, and splendid shall be thy triumph. And I, thy latest victim, shall be there with my fresh wound, and with submissive mien I will bear my new-wrought fetters. Prudence shall be led captive with hands bound behind her back, and Modesty, and whatsoever else is an obstacle to Love. All things shall be in awe of thee, and stretching forth their arms towards thee the throng with mighty voice shall thunder "Io Triumphe!" Caresses shall be thy escort, and Illusion and Madness, a troop that ever follows in thy train. With these fighting on thy side, nor men nor gods shall stand against thee; but if their aid be lacking, naked shalt thou be. Proud to behold thy triumph, thy mother will applaud thee from High Olympus and scatter roses on thy upturned face. Thy wings and thy locks shall be adorned with precious stones, and all with gold resplendent shalt thou drive thy golden car. Then too, if I know thee well, thou wilt set countless other hearts on fire, and many a wound shalt deal as thou passest on thy way. Repose, even when thou art fain to rest, cometh not to thine arrows. Thy ardent flame turns water itself to vapour. Such was Bacchus when he triumphed over the land of the Ganges. Thou art drawn along by doves; his car was drawn by tigers. Since, then, I am to have a part in thy godlike triumph, lose not the rights which thy victory gives thee over me. Bethink thee of the victories of thy kinsman C?sar; he shields the conquered with the very hand that conquers them.

Publius Ovidius Nason:The Amores, ~18 BCE

Oscar Wild, Slika Dorijana GrejaRomantika živi od ponavljanja, a ponavljanje pretvara svaki prohtev u umetnost. Uostalom, svaki put, kad čovek voli, njemu se čini da jedino tad stvarno voli. Raznolikost predmeta ne menja jedinstvenost strasti. Ona je samo pojačava. U životu možemo, u najbolju ruku, imati samo jedan veliki doživljaj, a tajna života se sastoji u tome da taj doživljaj što je moguće češće ponavljamo. Ja izgleda ne znam da upotrebljavam servises ovog foruma, ali eto da pokusam: bas mi prijatno podsjetiti se ovih prica i pouka...

Izuzetno! -------The month of waiting for the Stones' arrival increased my wanton desire to feel those gigantic lips on mine. I started writing porno things in my diary for the first time: "Someday I will touch and feel him, I know it. Mick, my dear, dear PENIS!"

KRIVICAJedan pas je nešto važno ili nevažno zgrešio u kući, a zatim u strahu odlutao, ili se nekako izgubio... Elem, posle nekoliko dana pas je pronađen i vraćen vlasniku, ili se već nekako, ofucan sam vratio.Vlasniku je bilo drago, što se pas srećno vratio i što je ponovo sa njim, pa je u potpunosti zaboravio da je bio ljut na njega. Međutim, pas je po dolasku samo lunjao i kunjao po kući bez hrane i odmora. Zabrinuti čovek se konačno obratio veterinaru i ovaj saslušavši priču, reče vlasniku da smota novine i odalami psa po zadnjici par puta, pa će sve biti u redu. Čovek bi začuđen, ali posluša.I tako se dogodi čudo i pas bi izlečen i ponovo veseo i raspoložen.Računi su ponovo bili čisti.Naravoučenije: -Mehanizmi greha, krivice, iskupljenja i katarze duboko su instiktivno ukorenjeni u nama (pa i u psima) i postojali su i pre savremene psihologije i hrišćanstva i vere uopšte. Dobro razmislite kad i kako kažnjavate vašu decu, a kada je u ovom kontekstu reč o Vašem partneru, dobro razmislite o svrsishodnosti istog.

"It has been considered as of so much importance that a proper number of young people should be educated for certain professions, that, sometimes the public, and sometimes the piety of private founders have established many pensions, scholarships, exhibitions, bursaries, &c. for this purpose, which draw many more people into those trades than could otherwise pretend to follow them. In all christian countries, I believe, the education of the greater part of churchmen is paid for in this manner. Very few of them are educated altogether at their own expence. The long, tedious, and expensive education, therefore, of those who are, will not always procure them a suitable reward, the church being crowded with people who, in order to get employment, are willing to accept of a much smaller recompence than what such an education would otherwise have entitled them to...That unprosperous race of men commonly called men of letters, are pretty much in the situation which lawyers and physicians probably would be in upon the foregoing supposition. In every part of Europe the greater part of them have been educated for the church, but have been hindered by different reasons from entering into holy orders. They have generally, therefore, been educated at the public expence, and their numbers are every-where so great as commonly to reduce the price of their labour to a very paultry recompence.Before the invention of the art of printing, the only employment by which a man of letters could make any thing by his talents, was that of a public or private teacher, or by communicating to other people the curious and useful knowledge which he had acquired himself... The time and study, the genius, knowledge, and application requisite to qualify an eminent teacher of the sciences, are at least equal to what is necessary for the greatest practitioners in law and physic. But the usual reward of the eminent teacher bears no proportion to that of the lawyer or physician; because the trade of the one is crowded with indigent people who have been brought up to it at the public expence; whereas those of the other two are incumbered with very few who have not been educated at their own. The usual recompence, however, of public and private teachers, small as it may appear, would undoubtedly be less than it is, if the competition of those yet more indigent men of letters who write for bread was not taken out of the market. Before the invention of the art of printing, a scholar and a beggar seem to have been terms very nearly synonymous. The different governors of the universities before that time appear to have often granted licences to their scholars to beg.In ancient times, before any charities of this kind had been established for the education of indigent people to the learned professions, the rewards of eminent teachers appear to have been much more considerable."Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, knjiga 1, poglavlje X.
