Lo habrás puesto en duda, pero seguro que te has deseado fama. Sin embargo, ¿no has deseado mil veces más lo otro: el regreso de algún muerto? Y no lo has conseguido. Sólo se cumplen los deseos mezquinos, superfluos, desvergonzados.
Los grandes, los dignos de un ser humano, no llegan a realizarse. Ninguno volverá, ninguno vuelve nunca; podridos están aquellos a los que odiaste, podridos están aquellos a los que amaste. ¿Sería posible amar más? ¿Hacer, mediante más amor, que un muerto vuelva a la vida? ¿Nadie habrá amado suficientemente todavía? ¿O bastaría una mentira que fuera tan grande como la Creación?

Additional quotes by Elias Canetti

Slepilo je oružje protiv vremena i prostora; naš život je jedno jedino, ogromno slepilo, izuzev ono malo stvari koje saznajemo zahvalјujući našim sićušnim čulima – sićušnim kako po njihovoj suštini tako i po njihovom domašaju. Vladajući princip u kosmosu jeste slepilo. Ono omogućava naporedno postojanje stvari koje bi bile nemoguće kad bi videle jedna drugu.

Важно е от време на време да се чувстваш засегнат, да се видиш такъв, какъвто те виждат ония, които нищо не разбират.

Those most beset by commands are children. It is a miracle that they ever survive the pressure and do not collapse under the burden of the commands laid on them by their parents and teachers. That they in turn, and in equally cruel form, should give identical commands to their children is as natural as mastication or speech.
