There comes a time in each life like a point of fulcrum. At that time you must accept yourself. It is not any more what you will become. It is what you are and always will be. You are too young to know this. You are still becoming. Not being.

If a person is intelligent, then of course he is either an agnostic or an atheist. Just as he is a physical coward. They are automatic definitions of high intelligence.

I saw that this cataclysm must be an expiation for some barbarous crime of civilization, some terrible human lie. What the lie was, I had too little knowledge of history or science to know then. I know now it was our believing that we were fulfilling some end, serving some plan - that all would come out well in the end, because there was some great plan over all. Instead of the reality. There is no plan. All is hazard. And the only thing that will preserve us is ourselves.
John FowlesIt's despair at the lack of (I'm cheating, I didn't say all these things - but I'm going to write what I want to say as well as what I did) feeling, of love, of reason in the world. It's despair that anyone can even contemplate the idea of dropping a bomb or ordering that it should be dropped. It's despair that so few of us care. It's despair that there's so much brutality and callousness in the world.

I have a strange illusion quite often. I think I've become deaf. I have to make a little noise to prove I'm not. I clear my throat to show myself that everything is normal. It's like the little Japanese girl they found in the ruins of Hiroshima. Everything dead; and she was singing to her doll.

Just those three words, said and meant. I love you.
They were quite hopeless. He said it as he might have said, I have cancer.

Ideeea ca ne plac oamenii este o iluzie pe care trebuie s-o pastram in noi daca vrem sa traim in societate. Dar eu am expulzat-o de mult, cel putin cat traiesc aici. Tu vrei sa fii iubit? Eu ma multumesc pur si simplu sa "fiu", sa exist. Poate intr-o zi ai sa inteegi si tu ce inseamana asta. Si ai sa zambesti. Un zambet aprobator, un zambet sarcastic.
John FowlesAs dori, de asemenea, sa tii seama de faptul ca astfel de intamplari nu au putut avea loc decat intr-o lume in care barbatul se considera superior femeii. In lumea pe care americanii o numesc a man's world - o lume a barbatilor. Adica o lume guvernata de forta brutala, de aroganta totalmente lipsita de umor, de gustul prestigiului iluzoriu si de prostia funciara. Continua, cu ochii atintiti pe ecran: Barbatilor le place razboiul pentru ca li se pare singurul mod de a fi luati in serios. Pentru ca isi imagineaza ca este singura ocazie cand femeile inceteaza sa-si mai bata joc de ei. Razboiul le permite sa reduca femeile la rand de obiecte. In aceasta consta marea deosebire dintre sexe. Barbatii vad obiebte acolo unde femeile vad relatiile dintre obiecte; relatiile generate de nevoia pe care obiectele o au unul de celalalt, de nevoia de dragoste si de dorinta de armonie. Este o dimensiune in domeniul sentimental care barbatilor le lipseste cu desavarsire. o dimensiune care face ca toate femeile adevarate sa nu vada in razboi decat o odioasa absurditate. Am sa-ti spun eu ce e raboiul. Razboiul e o psihoza creata de incapacitatea noastra de a percepe relatiile. Relatiile noastre cu cei din jur; relatiile cu situatia noastra economica si istorica. Si, mai ales, relatia noastra cu neamul. Cu moartea.
John Fowles- Nicholas, daca vrem sa incercam sa reproducem, fie si numai partial, cate ceva despre legile misterioase care guverneaza existenta, atunci trebuie sa stim sa depasim unele din conventiile pe care omul le-a inventat pentru a tine in frau aceste scopuri fundamentale. Asta nu inseamana ca in vietile noastre obisnuite asemenea conventii trebuie ignorate. Nicidecum. Ele sunt fictiuni necesare. Dar in jocul de-a Dumnezeu, noi am pornit de la premiza ca in realitate totul este fictiune si, totusi, nici o fictiune nu este necesara. Zambi: M-ai dacut sa spun mai mlt decat aveam de gand.
