James’s Quotes

“Wstrzymując oddech, usty chwytał jej westchnienie.
I okiem łowił wszystkie jej wzroku promienie.”
― Adam Mickiewicz, Pan Tadeusz

“Ty mnie zabiłeś! - ty mnie nauczyłeś czytać!
W pięknych księgach i pięknym przyrodzeniu czytać!
Ty dla mnie ziemię piekłem zrobiłeś
(z żalem i uśmiechem)
i rajem!
(mocniej i ze wzgardą)
A to jest tylko ziemia!”
― Adam Mickiewicz, Dziady

Nekankins to naktys, dienos ilgesingos.”
