A Very Stained Glass Window
A miscellaneous collection of book quotes I find on my quest to read as many books as I want. And occasionally other stuff too.

My conclusion is this: there's no rule that says the unavailable person you waste your life being in love with has to be the greatest human you ever met.
It doesn't make the loss of him any less painful.

'So it is,' said she at last, 'that you must take her whom you love; her and no one else.'
["Niin se onkin", sanoi hän vihdoin, "että se on otettava, jota rakastaa; se eikä kukaan muu."]

Rosen bröt du för din glada syster,
valmon höll du sjelf.
Rosen, flicka, tyder lif och kärler,
valmon köld och död.
Anar du ej hjertats fröjder, — eller,
bleka engel, säg,
äger du vid femton år ett öde
att beteckna ren?

"Sometimes your lack of filter kills me," he says. "It's not even like you lack a filter; you lack a funnel."

En mä huoli huitukoille,
noille pojanruitukoille,
nillikoille, nallikoille,
noille naapurin nasoille.
Mie tahon tasaista miestä,
riskimpätä rinnoilleni,
kauniimpata kannoilleni,
vereväistä viereheni.

I've been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library.

'Hats off to the prick, I genuinely find it hard to choose a favourite line. I can't decide between "selfies on her phone which I had a God-given right to scour, to prove she was unfaithful" or "my parents being alive mean I am a more balanced person than her". Can you imagine not picking up on any of the red flags in that? More red flags than a communist parade.'

Hänen [Iiri Salmian] silmänsä olivat rohkeat ja kirkkaat. Pienet, sirot rinnat kaartuivat kauniisti ohuen puvun alla. Niistä voi kai mainita ohimennen, koska hän näytti ne tanssiessaankin jotakuinkin paljaina. Muuten tämä kyllä on puhdashenkinen kirja.

'A love that could ne'er be deeper,
One that seeks joy of you forever,
Joy it could never find elsewhere;
Such that no other thought I share;
Such that I wholly yield myself;
Such that I love you more than self;
Such that for your protection, I
As it please you, will live or die.'
[- An tel que graindre estre ne puet ;
En tel que de vos ne se muet
Mes cuers, n'onques aillors nel truis ;
An tel qu'aillors pansser ne puis ;
En tel que toz a vos m'otroi ;
An tel que plus vos aim que moi ;
En tel, s'il vos plest, a delivre,
Que por vos vuel morir ou vivre.]
'She'll wish to keep you in prison.'
'That,' he said, 'indeed, I'd wish,
Nor will it harm me in the least,
For in such a prison I long to be.'
[...]
For love is a prison, God knows,
And they are right who so claim,
For all who love do seek the same.

Miesten petkuttaminen ei ole loppujen lopuksi vaikeaa, kun vain siihen ensin perehtyy. Mitäpä miespoloiset sille mahtavat. Jumala loi heidät alunperin naisten narreiksi.

Your heart and ears to me now lend,
For soon it is forgot, the word,
If by the heart it is not heard.

The world is twisted. In it, boys are right and girls are wrong. If a girl is brave enough to defend herself, in the least she's a pig, a shrew, who doesn't have a sense of humour.
["Maailma on kiero. Pojat ovat siinä aina oikeassa ja tytöt väärässä. Jos tyttö uskaltaa puolustautua, on hän vähintään porsas, äkäsäkki, joka ei ymmärrä leikkiä."]

Kirje
Rakas, suloinen ystävä,
muistatko vielä
sinisen aamun Riemukaaren alla,
kun auringon hoikat, kultaiset sormet
nousivat onnellisten silmiemme ylle?
.
Muistatko metron kohisevan holvin,
hien ja hajuveden tuoksun,
kiveen hakatun aurinkolinnun
ja ruusut kostealla kadulla?
.
Suuren kaupungin unet elivät meissä,
värisevillä varjoilla oli oudon levottomat silmät,
muistatko vielä?
.
Rakas, suloinen ystävä,
ikävöithän niinkuin minä
sinistä aamua Riemukaaren alla?

'I can still hear you,' Marcus calls, having placed his order at the van. 'And I can confirm that I have absolutely no opinions about your life decisions. I myself am very partial to a quickie with a randomer.'
He walks back to us, taking a large bite from his bacon butty, as behind him Rodney places his order.
'Bacon butty with egg, mushroom and burger sauce, please, sir!' he says.
'His life choices, on the other hand,' Marcus says, pointing to Rodney, 'those I have opinions about.'
