„Do boje jdi vesele, neboť mrtví, kteří se nesmějí, jsou oškliví.“
When you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
Preface
The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze (1934)
Kontext: The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
„Do boje jdi vesele, neboť mrtví, kteří se nesmějí, jsou oškliví.“
„Je jen jeden sen, který stojí za to … žít, dokud jste naživu, a zemřít jen tehdy, když jste mrtví.“
