Guess the book

[fleeting ray]

Horia K n-a revenit cu fragment.
Imi voi lua aceasta libertate asupra mea.

hint: e greu sa scoti un citat din cartea asta, pentru ca titlul cartii se regaseste de cel putin doua ori pe fiecare pagina, cu atat mai mult in punctele esentiale, ca un laitmotiv obsesiv si obsedant.

"Matematicienii si jucatorii vostri cu margele de sticla, spunea el, v-au distilat o istorie universala care consta exclusiv dintr-o istorie a spiritului si a artei, istoria voastra e lipsita de sange si nu are nici o contingenta cu realitatea
; voi cunoasteti in amanunt decaderea sintaxei latine in al doilea sau al treilea secol si habar n-aveti de Alexandru cel Mare, Cezar, sau Iisus Christos. Voi tratati istoria universala la fel cum matematicianul trateaza matematica, in care exista numai legi si formule, dar nu realitati, bine si rau, in care nu exista timp, nici un ieri si nici un maine, ci doar prezent vesnic, neted, matematic."

Jocul cu margelele de sticla - Herman Hesse

Random book I've been reading:

“My meaning simply is, that whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do well; that whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself to completely; that in great aims and in small, I have always been thoroughly in earnest.”

David Copperfield by Dickens

“Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything.
They make you feel so alive that you'd follow them straight into hell, just to keep getting your fix.”

[James Dean]

Da-ne duduita un indiciu ca murim aici.

Duduie? not nice. in fine, este dintr-una din cartile de Karen Marie Moning, din seria Fever. Destule indicii?

Karen Marie Moning - Shadowfever; nu am citit cartea, dar asta e pentru tine, duduita.

"...all the suffering that humanity ever knew can be traced to the one fact that no man in the history of the Galaxy, until Hari Seldon, and very few men thereafter, could really understand one another. Every human being lived behind an impenetrable wall of choking mist within which no other but he existed. Occasionally there were the dim signals from deep within the cavern in which another man was located - so that each might grope toward the other. Yet because they did not know one another, and could not understand one another, and dared not trust one another, and felt from infancy the terrors and insecurity of that ultimate isolation - there was the hunted fear of man for man, the savage rapacity of man toward man.”

ce aveti toti cu duduie/duduita nu stiu
stiu cu siguranta ca este un citat dintr-o carte de Isaac Asimov, dar nu imi amintesc exact ce carte. Asa ca o sa revin putin mai tarziu cu numele la carte, trebuie sa o caut

PSS:Am gasit, desi mi-a dat batai de cap Este din A doua fundatie.


PS: Este o serie foarte buna. Lumea creata de Moning si personalitatea personajelor cat si relatiile dintre ele sunt foarte credibile, realiste si bine create. Este una dintre seriile din genul fantasy care se afla foarte sus in lista mea de carti preferate. Daca te pasioneaza genul acesta le poti incerca, nu cred ca vei regreta.

P.S. DUDÚIE ~i f. (folosit și ca termen de adresare) Persoană de sex feminin până la casatorie; fată; domnișoară. [Art. duduia; G.-D. duduie; Sil. -du-ie] /cf. turc. dudu



Am primit confirmarea feciori.

Let me but imagine a topic — say... men who have died by the sword— and I have them in all of their gore, every image intact, every moan, every grimace. Joys of motherhood, I think, and the birthing beds are mine. Serial baby smiles and the sweet cooings of new generations. The first walkings of toddlers and the first victories of youths brought forth for me to share. They tumble one upon another until I can see little else but sameness and repitition. "Keep it all intact," I warn myself. Who can deny the value of such experiences, the worth of the learning through which I view each new instant? Ahhh, but it's the past. Don't you understand? It's only the past!

4th book in the Dune series.

Next:

"In relating the circumstances which have led to my confinement within this
refuge for the demented, I am aware that my present position will create a
natural doubt of the authenticity of my narrative. It is an unfortunate fact
that the bulk of humanity is too limited in its mental vision to weigh with
patience and intelligence those isolated phenomena, seen and felt only by a
psychologically sensitive few, which lie outside its common experience. Men of
broader intellect know that there is no sharp distinction betwixt the real and
the unreal; that all things appear as they do only by virtue of the delicate
individual physical and mental media through which we are made conscious of
them; but the prosaic materialism of the majority condemns as madness the
flashes of supersight which penetrate the common veil of obvious empricism."

The tomb by H P Lovecraft.
Hai ca si topicul asta incepe sa moara incetul cu incetul

The movement of humanity, arising as it does from innumerable arbitrary human wills, is continuous. To understand the laws of this continuous movement is the aim of history. But to arrive at these laws, resulting from the sum of all those human wills, man's mind postulates arbitrary and disconnected units. The first method of history is to take an arbitrarily selected series of continuous events and examine it apart from others, though there is and can be no beginning to any event, for one event always flows uninterruptedly from another.
The second method is to consider the actions of some one man- a king or a commander- as equivalent to the sum of many individual wills; whereas the sum of individual wills is never expressed by the activity of a single historic personage.
