Quotes

  • Nato Kurtanidzehas quoted4 days ago
    They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves.

    Begin with an individual, and before you know it you find that you have created a type; begin with a type, and you find that you have created—nothing.

    Начните с индивидуума, и не успеете вы оглянуться, как обнаружите, что создали тип; начните с типа, и вы обнаружите, что не создали ничего.
