Papà Goriot / Un tenebroso affare QUOTES

1 " Biurokratija, kaip ir kariuomenė, turi savo pasyvų paklusnumą; tai sistema, kuri užgniaužia sąmonę, žmogų paverčia nieku ir galų gale jį, tartum kokį sraigtą ar veržlę, prisuka prie valdžios mašinos. "

― Honoré de Balzac , Papà Goriot / Un tenebroso affare

2 " There is far more happiness in another’s happiness than in your own. It is something that I cannot explain, something within that sends a glow of warmth all through you. In short, I live my life three times over. Shall I tell you something funny? Well, then, since I have been a father, I have come to understand God. He is everywhere in the world, because the whole world comes from Him. And it is just the same with my children, Monsieur. Only, I love my daughters better than God loves the world, for the world is not so beautiful as God Himself is, but my children are more beautiful than I am. Their lives are so bound up with mine that I felt somehow that you would see them this evening. Great Heavens! "

― Honoré de Balzac , Papà Goriot / Un tenebroso affare
