Louis de Bernières _ Corelli's Mandolin
Dzīve ir cietums, kas būvēts no nabadzības un nepiepildītiem sapņiem, tā ir lēna virzīšanās uz manu vietu zem zemes, tā ir Dieva viltība, lai liktu mums vilties miesā, tā ir tikai īsu brīdi degoša liesmiņa eļļas traukā starp vienu tumsu un citu, kas ir tās galā.

Louis de Bernières _ Corelli's Mandolin
Mīlestība ir pārejošs ārprāts, tā izverd kā vulkāns un pēc tam norimst. Un, kad tā norimusies, ir jāpieņem lēmums. Tad ir jāizdomā, vai jūsu abu saknes ir savijušās kopā tik cieši, ka par šķiršanos nespējat pat iedomāties. Jo tāda ir mīlestība. Mīlestība nav elpas trūkums, tā nav satraukums, tā nav nebeidzamās kaisles solījumu neapturamā plūsma, tā nav vēlēšanās katru mīļu brīdi pāroties, tā nav gulēšana naktī nomodā un iztēlošanās, ka viņš noklāj skūpstiem katru tavu miesas pleķīti. Nesarksti, es tev saku patiesību. Tā ir vienkārši "iemīlēšanās", tā katram muļķim pa spēkam. Mīlestība pati ir tas, kas paliek pāri pēc tam, kad iemīlēšanās izplēnējusi, un tā ir gan māksla, gan veiksme.

A todo o momento vejo coisas que gostaria que visses, gostaria que estivesses aqui para as veres com os teus próprios olhos. Procuro ver coisas para ti, e guarda-las na minha memória, e tenho a fantasia de que se me concentrar mesmo muito, posso fazê-las chegar a ti, para que tu as vejas nos teus sonhos. Como se a vida pudesse ser assim.

Louis de Bernières _ Corelli's Mandolin
Quando morrem aqueles que amamos, temos de viver por eles. Temos de ver as coisas pelos seus olhos. Temos de lembrar como é que eles costumavam dizer as coisas, e usar as palavras que eles usavam. Temos de agradecer o facto de podermos fazer coisas que eles já não podem fazer, e também de sentir uma grande tristeza por isso acontecer.

Louis de Bernières _ Corelli's Mandolin
We soldiers knew next to nothing about what was going on in the centres of power. We received so many orders and counter-orders that there were times when we did not obey any of them at all, knowing that they were likely to be countermanded almost immediately.

Families embraced more than had been the habit; fathers who expected to be beaten to death stroked the hair of pretty daughters who expected to be raped.
book-quote
Louis de Bernières _ Corelli's Mandolin
I would say to the priest that God made me as I am, that I had no choice, that He must have made me like this for a purpose, that He knows the ultimate reasons for all things and that therefore it must be all to the good that I am as I am, even if we cannot know what that good is. I can say to the priest that if God is the reason for all things, then God is to blame and I should not be condemned.
