Narodi se likvidiraju tako da im se najprije oduzme sjećanje. Unište im se knjige, obrazovanje, povijest. Netko drugi im napiše druge knjige, da im drugo obrazovanje i izmisli drugu povijest. I narod onda postupno počne zaboravljati što je bio i što je sada, a svijet oko njega to zaboravi još mnogo brže.

The old duality of body and soul has become shrouded in scientific terminology, and we can laugh at it as merely an obsolete prejudice.

But just make someone who has fallen in love listen to his stomach rumble, and the unity of body and soul, that lyrical illusion of the age of science, instantly fades away.

It is wrong, then, to chide the novel for being fascinated by mysterious coincidences (like the meeting of Anna, Vronsky, the railway station, and death or the meeting of Beethoven, Tomas, Tereza, and the cognac), but it is right to chide man for being blind to such coincidences in his daily life. For he thereby deprives his life of a dimension of beauty.

What he yearned for at that moment, vaguely but with all his might, was unbounded music, absolute sound, a pleasant and happy all-encompassing, over-powering, window-rattling din to engulf, once and for all, the pain, the futility, the vanity of words. Music was the negation of sentences, music was the anti-word!

Bėgant metams, ji ims įžvelgti visuose šiuose panašumuose žmonių suvienodėjimą (žmonės norėdami pasibučiuoti visi iki vieno sustoja toje pačioje vietoje, visi rengiasi vienodai, girdami moterį vartoja tas pačias metaforas) ir alinamą įvykių monotoniją (įvykių, kurie yra tik amžinas to paties įvykio pasikartojimas); tačiau būdama paauglė ji kaupia šiuos sutapimus tarsi stebuklą, trokšdama įspėti jų reikšmes.

If every second of our lives recurs an infinite number of times, we are nailed to eternity as Jesus was nailed to the cross. It is a terrifying prospect.

Zijn hele leven was hij bang haar te kwetsen. En alleen daarom onderwierp hij zich vrijwillig aan de discipline van een afstompende monogamie. Twintig jaar later blijkt opeens dat zijn bezorgdheid totaal overbodig is en dat hij tientallen vrouwen heeft gemist vanwege een misverstand!
