"In Russia an honest man is rather like the chimney-sweep with whom nurses frighten children."
"Čast se ne može oduzeti, ona se može samo izgubiti."
Čehov
"Kad nema pravog života, čovek živi od fatamorgane."
Čehov
"I za tisuću godina čovjek će isto ovako uzdisati: “Ah, teško je živjeti” – i u isti mah ovako isto kao i sada, bojat će se i neće htjeti da umre."
"Drugi dio života kod pametnog čoveka sastoji se u oslobađanju od ludosti i predrasuda i pogrešnih mišljenja koje je stekao tokom prvog dijela života."
"Ne samo za dvije, tri stotine godina, nego i za milion godina, život će ostati kakav je i bio, on se ne mijenja, ostaje stalan, držeći se svojih vlastitih zakona, do kojih nama nije stalo, ili bar, kojih vi nikada nećete spoznati. Ptice selice, ždralovi na primjer, lete i lete, i ma kakve misli lutale, po njihovim glavama, visoke ili sitne, oni će isto letjeti, a neće znati zašto i kako. Oni lete i letjet će, ma kakvi se filozofi pojavili među nama; i neka filozofiraju kako ih je volja, samo neka lete…"
Čovjek je ono u što vjeruje.Anton Pavlovič Čehov
"Ravnodušnost je - paraliza duše, prijevremena smrt."
Gorky
"Čovjek sve može, samo ako hoće."
"Ne budite ravnodušni, ravnodušnost je smrtonosna za ljudsku dušu.
Ono što vjeruješ, to i postoji.
Reading Anton Chekhov's stories, one feels oneself in a melancholy day of late autumn, when the air is transparent and the outline of naked trees, narrow houses, grayish people, is sharp. Everything is strange, lonely, motionless, helpless. The horizon, blue and empty, melts into the pale sky and its breath is terribly cold upon the earth which is covered with frozen mud. The author's mind, like the autumn sun, shows up in hard outline the monotonous roads, the crooked streets, the little squalid houses in which tiny, miserable people are stifled by boredom and laziness and fill the houses with unintelligible, drowsy bustles. Here anxiously, like a gray mouse, scurries "The Darling," the dear, meek woman who

    Skrzynecki also feels isolation and insecurity when he states “Our lady watched with outstretched arms, her face overshadowed by clouds.” He uses negative connotations which are symbolic of an unhappy place. This is also symbolic of his future. Skrzynecki could never belong since he did not create the intricate mix of social relationships and individual identity.…

    S. A Novel about the Balkans, by Slavenka Drakulic, is a story about a Bosnian woman, named S., who was tortured by the hands of brutal soldiers during the Bosnia war. The novel mainly centers on a series of S.’s flashbacks, as she recounts the horrific ill-treatment she endured throughout this time period. Through telling S’s story, the author creates a vivid image of how deep and dark human nature is during wartime. The story is a revelation of the terrifying aspects of war, which include torture, rape and mass murdering/genocide by the occupying forces. Slavenka Drakulic’s story depicts how S. rose above the war crimes and on top of injustice to show the true meaning of human life. During war, almost all men and women involved suffer immensely, however, as portrayed in the novel S., women suffer more through mistreatment, sexual abuse, mishandling and irreversible traumas acted upon by the inhumane soldiers. The events that occurred in Bosnia during the 1990’s will go down in history as one of the most inhuman and cruel time periods ever. Through the character S.,…

    The poem begins by undercutting the beautiful, pleasant imagery promised by the title through the terse bluntness of the “dusk, and cold.” Flowers are indeed present as the title suggests, but only “frail, melancholy” ones, gathered by the subservient act of “kneeling” among “ashes and loam”. There is a definite sense of ending – both of the day, and of something grander. The persona’s attempts at engaging with the natural world are crudely rebuffed – she cannot succeed in her musical engagement, merely “try”, which results only in an “indifferent” blackbird “fret[ting] and strop[ing]” under “Ambiguous light. Ambiguous sky.” This unfriendly environment in which the poem begins foregrounds the sense of loss which characterises so much of Harwood’s poetry, an inevitable, confronting finality emphasised by the bluntness of the language and plethora of full stops. The adult world presented here is one of uncertainty, difficulty and ambiguity.…

    The issues of acceptance and alienation are crucially present in Peter Skrzynecki's 'Feliks Skryzynecki'. Although the poem is a tribute to Peter Skrzynecki's father, a range of concepts are also revealed. Through the use of powerful and vivid imagery, the poet successfully conveys Feliks as a man who is comfortable, content and secure in his own identity. In this poem, concepts of belonging and not belonging occur within place, family, community and culture.…

    The three stories to be discussed in this essay are “The Bouquet” by Charles W. Chesnutt, “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and “Gimpel the Fool” by Isaac Bashevis Singer. It’s interesting to dissect these pieces of literature to see how they reflect the time period they were written in, by whom they were written, and if the stories they read have any abnormalities outside what is expected.…

    To fully appreciate literature, we must look at it from every angle possible. There are many ways to criticize a piece of literature. Each way helps a reader to better understand the work in its own different way.

    Detailed imagery emphasizes the notability of identity while suffering in One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. The labor camp is in desolate Siberia, where it is frigid and barren. There are few opportunities to escape the cold, as the prisoners are furnished with only tattered rags for clothes. Consequently, the cold is an acute struggly for almost every prisoner. When warmth is available, “A man who’s warm can’t understand a man who’s freezing?” (Solzhenitsyn 111). Although their bodies are physically cold, on a deeper level, someone privileged could never truly relate with someone in a worse situation. Literally, Tsezar could not fathom how cold Shukhov feels; metaphorically, those with freedom would not be able to understand the…

    In reviewing Charles Simic’s latest collection for the New York Times, Katha Pollitt briefly (and importantly) mentions his work as a translator of Serbo-Croatian poets, including Vasko Popa and Ivan Lalic. I adore Popa’s work, but am unfamiliar with Lalic’s, beyond the poems Simic included in his anthology of Serbian poets, The Horse Has Six Legs. Another star from this anthology, whose name I don’t often see mentioned (certainly not as frequently as Popa’s) is Aleksandar Ristovic.…

    Having laid the foundations and the influences for the understanding of St. Karol Wojtyła’s personalism, this section will elucidate that of his own conception of person. As what have been said, Wojtyła is very fond with regard to the issues on the human person because of his personal experience of injustices and unhuman cruelties. As a result, the meaning of the human person seems to impoverished. As a searcher of truth, his philosophical foundation led him to be aware of one’s uniqueness and not to stop in inquiring truths. He states:…
