Quotes from the Book
Books only change the world if the world is capable of digesting them.
...having already understood everything that you will understand henceforward and until the end of your days." -Q
When a faith stubbornly maintained comes into contact with learning, the product of that encounter is always something magnificent, whether it be for good or ill.
I smile. No plan can take everything into account. Other people will raise their heads, others will desert. Time will go on spreading victory and defeat among those who pursue the struggle. I sip with satisfaction. We deserve the warmth of baths. May the days be aimless. Do not advance the action according to a plan.
No one imagines keeping the powerful low for long, apart from anything because if the peasants governed and the lords worked the land, everyone would quickly die of hunger, because everyone gets the hands they deserve.
Io faccio il mio mestiere, capito? Io sono un libraio, vado in giro, vedo un sacco di gente, vendo i libri, scopro talenti nascosti sotto le montagne di carta… io propago idee. Il mio mestiere è il più rischioso del mondo, capito? Sono responsabile della diffusione dei pensieri, magari di quelli più scomodi.
Margharete von Osnabrück […] ha sputato in faccia ai predicatori e pisciato in testa a quelli che andavano a prenderla. Sapeva quello che l’aspettava, ma non ha voluto tacere. Ha urlato a tutta la città, mentre la trascinavano via, che le donne di Münster non hanno combattuto al fianco dei loro uomini per diventare volgari concubine. […] è morta uccidendoli con le parole. L’hanno seguita in tante, hanno preferito morire insultando i tiranni piuttosto che accettare le loro leggi.
Ursula is something I will never feel again: she is Melancholy, cut into the soul and flesh.
You're wrong Heinrich. While it might seem easy to believe, you and I aren't actually the same. You've been fighting someone else's war, you've been obeying orders, you've been carrying out a part in his plan. You've served other people all your life, for a goal that you won't even see accomplished: that's your defeat.
La memoria. Sacca piena di cianfrusaglie che rotolano fuori per caso e finiscono col meravigliarti, come se non fossi stato tu a raccoglierle, a trasformarle in oggetti preziosi.
