Я в последнее время частенько стал замечать на форуме цитаты из произведений этого писателя. Его размышления о значении искусства и прочих проявлений духовной жизни мне весьма интересны, хотя часто не хочется с ними соглашаться.
Так что прошу знакомых и не знакомых с его творчеством обсудить его идеи.
"Do you feel quite sure of that, Dorian?"
"Quite sure."
"Ah! then it must be an illusion. The things one feels absolutely certain about are never true. That is the fatality of faith, and the lesson of romance. How grave you are! Don't be so serious. What have you or I to do with the superstitions of our age? ... Play me something. Play me a nocturne, Dorian..."
Do you feel quite sure that Mozart was a genius and Salieri an envious mediocricity and that their music can not be even compared?
Come on, Mr. Simkin!Цитата:

Do you feel quite sure of your mission, Mr. Simkin?
I mean by that your mission of debunking "big myths" by means of your comparative method? If so it must be your illusion!
Cheers!
I thought that I have a PhD in Theoretical Physics from Brown University. Perhaps, this bleak heritage is not yet completely sweated out from me.Цитата:

Oops, I should have addressed you as Dr. Simkin instead of Mr. Simkin. Apologies!Цитата:

Well, I am talking about the motive of applying speculation, calculation and analysis to the problem of being genius.Цитата:

If you "don't feel"(c) [quite sure about that - WBL] why then you "calculate and analyze" (c) ?
Certainly Harry knew for sure that Dorian hadn't had a PhD in Theoretical Physics from Brown University. Otherwise he would have kept silence.

I was not requesting apologies, just took up an opportunity to quote from Faulkner. Here is the exact quotation from "Light in August":Цитата:

"...everything else except a kind of stubborn and despairing fortitude and the bleak heritage of his bloodpride had been sweated out of him. He called her whore."
Henry. This is the problem with you and other critics of my research: you can't get a single fact right.Цитата:

Тоже вертелась одна фраза-
Мин татарча бильммим...:-P
"Мин татарча бильммим... Beta и Тина.... Тина и Beta .... так медведи говорили между собой" (c/парафраз) :lol::beer:Цитата:

Oops:oops:. Yes, should be "Lord Henry". Thank you.Цитата:

Your problem is that you worship reverently single fact and math and can't see the the forest behind the trees! :-)Цитата:
