Цитаты из книги Секс в человеческой любви

17 октября 2010 г.

Пол - это результат эволюции и выживания наиболее приспособленных, и люди находятся на верху этой пирамиды. Люди более забавны, чем какие-либо иные существа, и человеческий секс лучше других (по крайней мере для людей), так что, как патриоты человеческой расы, мы должны гордиться. Кто этого не делает, может отправляться туда, откуда он пришел, - к медузам.

Some animals can be trained to perform a stunt here and there, but not tamed. Other animals can be tamed and also trained to perform a stunt here and there.

Некоторых животных можно натренировать для исполнения трюков время от времени, но не приручить. Других животных можно приручить и также натренировать для исполнения трюков время от времени. Но человек с самого начала и проводит всю свою жизнь, исполняя трюки для своих хозяев: Мамы и Папы сначала, а потом учителя, а после этого любого, кто сможет захватить его и научить подвигам войны или революции или трюкам мира.

The best way to tell a winner from a loser is this: A winner is a person who knows what he'll do next if he loses, but doesn't talk about it; a loser is one who doesn' know what he'll do if he loses, but talks about what he'll do if he wins.

Лучший способ определить, удачник или неудачник перед тобой, такой: Удачник – это человек, который знает, что он будет делать дальше, если он проиграет, но не говорит об этом, неудачник – тот, который не знает, что он будет делать, если проиграет, но говорит о том, что он будет делать, если выиграет.

Solemnity and indignation are what cause wars, and if everybody started laughing they would soon stop shooting at each other... So someone who is more solemn and indignant than you may be more righteous than you, but he is also going to make more troubles than you.

Drugs are instead of people, and people are better than drugs. The person who takes LSD is intoxicated, while the person in love is the purest state possible. In the intoxication of drugs, he is in the grip of an impersonal and inhuman force that will not listen and has no interest in his welfare. In the detoxication of love, he is in the grip of the most personal reality there is: someone whose greatest delight is to listen not only to his words but to the cadence of his voice, and whose greatest interest is precisely in his happiness and welfare. Love is a sweet trap from which no one departs without tears.
