خب! اگه بخوام عامیانه بگم: سامرست داستانی رو تعریف کرد که خیلی حوصله نداشت تعریف بکنه، ولی خیلی کشش داد چون حوصله نداشت ! …
شخصیت ها به شدت سطحی… داستان به شدت یکنواخت… تماما منتظر یک اتفاق… یک‌بینش… یک‌تفکر متفاوت …یک اوج… بودم و‌تماما یه جسد که معلوم‌نبود چی شده نصیبم شد… داستان شروع خیلی بدی داشت….. و پایان نا امیدکننده تری …

No pude con este libro y eso que me gusta Maugham. Creo que el problema es mío. No puedo con las novelas filosóficas aunque me encante la filosofía. Tampoco pude con Siddartha. El único que disfruté fue La Montaña mágica que me
Impactó en la adolescencia. No sé si resisto una segunda lectura en la madurez. Siempre me pregunto si hay libros para cada etapa de la vida.

P. 169-170 love vs passion, emotional significance for men vs. women
P. 211 "can anything be more practical in the world than to learn how to live to best advantage?"
P. 247 "it only means putting the idea in the sufferer's mind"
P. 250 "amused tenderness"
P. 251 "I felt that I was at home with infinitude"
P. 253 "Our wise old Church... has discovered that if you will act as if you believed belief will be granted to you" (in regards to Protestantism); "The distance that separates you from faith is no greater than the thickness of a cigarette paper"
P. 256- 257 "You are a deeply religious man who doesn't believe in God. God will seek you out. You'll come back. Whether here or elsewhere only God can tell."
Brahma by Ralph Waldo Emerson
P. 265 "But it's easy enough to bear our own evils, all we need for that is a little manliness; what's intolerable is the evil, often so unmerited in appearance, that befalls others. If you can persuade yourself that it is the inevitable result of the past you may pity, you may do what you can to alleviate, and you should, but you have no cause to be indignant."
P. 266 "That's a very difficult question to answer. I don't think it's possible for us Occidentals to believe in it as implicitly as these Orientals do. It's in their blood and bones. With us it can only be an opinion. I neither believe nor disbelieve in it."
P. 269 - 270
P. 278 "Nothing in the world is permanent, and we're foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we're still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it. If change is of the essence of existence one would have thought it only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy. We can none of us step into the same river twice, but the river flows on and the other river we step into is cool and refreshing too."
