"O remorso crónico, e com isto todos os moralistas estão de acordo, é um sentimento bastante indesejável. Se considerais ter agido mal, arrependei-vos, corrigi os vossos erros na medida do possível e tentai conduzir-vos melhor na próxima vez. E não vos entregueis, sob nenhum pretexto, à meditação melancólica das vossas faltas. Rebolar no lodo nao é, com certeza, a melhor maneira de alguém se lavar."

que bom gosto musical... (claro que existem as palavras. mas essas são mais difíceis de comentar.)
gostei muito deste livro... a tua citação levou-me a pegar nele novamente. Aqui fica outra, da parte que eu mais gostei:
"-Why don't you let them see Othello instead?
-I've told you; its old. Besides, they couldn't understand it.
Yes, that was true. He remembered how Helmholtz had laughed at Romeo and Juliet. [...]
-Because our world is not the same as Othello's world. You can't make flivers without steel - and you can't make tragedies without social instability. The world's stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can't get. They're well off; they're safe; they're never ill; they're not afraid of death; they're blissfully ignorant of passion and old age; they're plagued with no mothers or fathers; they've got no wives, or children, or lovers to feel strongly about; they are so conditioned that they practically can´t help behaving as they ought to behave. And if anything should go wrog, there´s soma."
Devias ser a primeira a tomar essa citaçao como exemplo .)
