I have started to read this book, as name suggest, full of negativity. I finsihed this book in installment rather than going thorugh the one shot. But as I am optimistic, i tried to find positivity in this negative story. One thing is very sure, madness is resides in each human being. It is the extent each one express in his/her own way. Some of the excerpts from Veronika decides to die:
“Veronika knew that life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.”
” During her life, Veronika had noticed that a lot of people she knew would talk about the horrors in other people’ lives as if they were genuinely concerned to help them, but the truth was that they tool pleasure in the suffering of others, because that made them believe they were happy and that life had been generous with them.”
“You have to put up a fight if you don’t want others imposing their rules on you.”
“……You have passed through the the two hardest testes on the spiritual road: the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what you encounter.”
” You have to decided how far you can go.”
“You have two choices: to control your mind or to let your mind control you.”
“Don’t confuse madness with a loss of control.”
“… Thatz how it should be with you; stay mad, but behave like normal people. Run the risk of being different, but learn to do so without attracting attention.”
” It’s what you are, not what others make of you.”
“But human beings are like that, we have replaced nearly all our emotions with fear.”
” And since, I’m not afraid of losing you, i don’t care what you think or don’t think about me.”
” There are only two prohibitions, one according to man’s law and other according to God’s. Never force a sexual relationship on anyone, because that is considered to be rape. And never have sexual relations with children, because that is the worst of all sins. Apart from that, you are free. There’s always someone who wants excatly what you want.”
Negative thoughts :
” Nothing in this world happens by chance.”
“But it must be impossible to forget a shattered skull.”
Overall rating : OK.
World of uncertainty
