"But would you kindly ponder this question: What would your good do if evil didn’t exist, and what would the earth look like if all the shadows disappeared? After all, shadows are cast by things and people. Here is the shadow of my sword. But shadows also come from trees and living beings.
Do you want to strip the earth of all trees and living things just because of your fantasy of enjoying naked light? You’re stupid."

The Master and Margarita, Mikhail Bulgakov (via literarylust)

"

Su cento persone:

che ne sanno sempre più degli altri
- cinquantadue;

insicuri a ogni passo
- quasi tutti gli altri;

pronti ad aiutare,
purché la cosa non duri molto
- ben quarantanove;

buoni sempre,
perché non sanno fare altrimenti
- quattro, be’, forse cinque;


propensi ad ammirare senza invidia
- diciotto;

viventi con la continua paura
di qualcuno o qualcosa
- settantasette;

dotati per la felicità,
- al massimo non più di venti;

innocui singolarmente,
che imbarbariscono nella folla
- di sicuro più della metà;


quelli col senno di poi
- non molti di più
di quelli col senno di prima;

che dalla vita prendono solo cose
- quaranta,
anche se vorrei sbagliarmi;

ripiegati, dolenti
e senza torcia nel buio
- ottantatré
prima o poi;

degni di compassione
- novantanove;

mortali
- cento su cento.
Numero al momento invariato

"

"

my father always said, “early to bed and
early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy
and wise.”

it was lights out at 8 p.m. in our house
and we were up at dawn to the smell of
coffee, frying bacon and scrambled
eggs.

my father followed this general routine
for a lifetime and died young, broke,
and, I think, not too
wise.

taking note, I rejected his advice and it
became, for me, late to bed and late
to rise.

now, I’m not saying that I’ve conquered
the world but I’ve avoided
numberless early traffic jams, bypassed some
common pitfalls
and have met some strange, wonderful
people

one of whom
was
myself—someone my father
never
knew.
