That grain of sand might be the last remnant of what had once been a mountain, but that which it is, it is. The tide comes and the tide goes. Let it hammer the grain of sand as it may. Let lofty mountains fear the slow, constant assault of the waters. Let the valleys shudder at the pitiless advance of ice. Let continents drown beneath the dark and rising tide. But that grain of sand? It isn't impressed. Let the tide roll in. The sand will still be there when it rolls out again. -Harry Dresden, Cold Days by Jim Butcher"

However, if Fergesson was not around, Hoppy gave up and after a while wheeled off, because he knew that the salesmen would not let him go downstairs;' they merely ribbed him, gave him the run-around. He did not mind. Or at least as far as Stuart McConchie could tell, he did not mind."

22. "Ona je kot kmetic, ki zasadi vrt, ko pa zagleda prve poganjke, se zboji, da jim lahko kaj škoduje. Zato si omisli široko plahto, odporno proti vodi in vetru, ter jo razprostre nad svojimi rastlinicami, da jih zavaruje pred slabim vremenom; da bi odgnal listne uši in licinke, pa jih še obilno poškropi z insekticidom. Dela brez predaha, noc in dan misli le na vrt in na to, kako ga bo zašcitila. Potem pa nekega jutra dvigne plahto in doživi kaj neljubo presenecenje: vse rastlinice so segnile in umrle. Ce bi jim pustila svobodno rasti, bi sicer ene pomrle, toda druge bi preživele in poleg zasejanih bi pognale še tretje, ki bi jih zanesla tja veter in mrces. Nekatere bi postale plevel in bi jih populil, druge pa bi morda zrasle v cvetlice in bi s svojimi barvami poživile enolicni vrt. Me razumeš? Je že tako, v življenju je potrebna širokosrcnost; obdelovati svoj mali znacajcek in biti slep za vse okrog sebe pomeni, da sicer dihaš, v resnici pa si že mrtev."

Author: Zora Neale Hurston
