Dopisy MIleny Jesenské
by |
|
“He was shy, timid, gentle, and kind, but he wrote gruesome and painful books. He saw the world as full of invisible demons, who tear apart and destroy defenseless people. He was too clear-sighted and too wise to be able to live; he was too weak to fight, he had that weakness of noble, beautiful people who are not able to do battle against the fear of misunderstandings, unkindness, or intellectual lies. Such persons know beforehand that they are powerless and go down in defeat in such a way that they shame the victor. He knew people as only people of great sensitivity are able to know them, as somebody who is alone and sees people almost prophetically, from one flash of a face. He knew the world in a deep and extraordinary manner. He was himself a deep and extraordinary world.”

“Hayatı yaşamanın iki yolu var: Bir tanesi kaderinin sorumluluğunu üstlenmek, kendi kararlarını kendin vermek ve uygulamak, avantaj ve dezavantajları, mutluluk ve mutsuzluğu kabul etmek; cesurca, dürüstçe, pazarlık etmeden, yücegönüllülük ve tevazuyla. Diğeri ise; kaderini aramak: Ama insan onu ararken sadece gücünü, zamanını, hayallerini, doğru ve iyi anlamdaki körlüğünü, içgüdülerini değil, kendi değerlerini de kaybeder. Gittikçe yoksullaşır; yeni gelen daima önceden var olandan daha kötüdür.”

“Uznat cizí dobré vlastnosti, k tomu je třeba sám nějaké mít. Lidé, kteří je nemají, druhým je závidí. Lidé, kteří je mají, nemusejí závidět; jsou jako sytí, jež nehladoví po soustu druhého. Jsou sytí, a proto mají dobré srdce a vlídný úsměv pro každého.”
