Thomas Mann: Citáty anglicky

“Time cools, time clarifies, no mood can be maintained quite unaltered through the course of hours.”

Thomas Mann kniha The Magic Mountain

Zdroj: The Magic Mountain (1924), Ch. 7
Kontext: Time cools, time clarifies, no mood can be maintained quite unaltered through the course of hours. In the early dawn, standing weapon in hand, neither of the combatants would be the same man as on the evening of the quarrel. They would be going through it, if at all, mechanically, in obedience to the demands of honour, not, as they would have at first, of their own free will, desire, and conviction; and such a denial of their actual selves in favour of their past ones, it must somehow be possible to prevent.

“It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death.”

Thomas Mann kniha The Magic Mountain

Varianta: Love stands opposed to death. It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death.
Zdroj: The Magic Mountain (1924), Ch. 6; variant translation: It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death. Only love, not reason, gives sweet thoughts. And from love and sweetness alone can form come: form and civilization.
Kontext: Love stands opposed to death. It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death. Only love, not reason, gives kind thoughts.

“Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.”

“I stand between two worlds, am at home in neither, and in consequence have rather a hard time of it.”

Thomas Mann kniha Tonio Kröger

Zdroj: Tonio Kröger (1903), Ch. 9, as translated by Bayard Quincy Morgan
Kontext: I stand between two worlds, am at home in neither, and in consequence have rather a hard time of it. You artists call me a commoner, and commoners feel tempted to arrest me … I do not know which wounds me more bitterly. Commoners are stupid; but you worshippers of beauty who call me phlegmatic and without yearning, ought to reflect that there is an artistry so deep, so primordial and elemental, that no yearning seems to it sweeter and more worthy of tasting than that for the raptures of common-placeness.

“All interest in disease and death is only another expression of interest in life.”

“Only love, and not reason, yields kind thoughts.”

“I love and reverence the Word, the bearer of the spirit, the tool and gleaming ploughshare of progress.”
