Bogene Quotes

“If someone hurts you, think only about that concrete moment, about what can you do to save yourself. Don't try to remember anything, don't think about your mother, don't think about home - that will weaken you, you will be vulnerable. Exist only in each given moment. Memories make you human. So long as you only think of the present moment you are biological composition, a cell, a microbe, a bacterium, a virus, fighting for its existence. These things don't need loved ones, sons, first born daughters, homes or dreams about the life, that might be lived. All this will cause you pain, you will be hurt, stabbed in your most vulnerable spot, not in the ball of your foot.”
― Gundega Repše, Bogene

“Zupu par zupiņu, ķīseli par ķīselīti, mērci par mērcīti vien saukā. Jo negantāks cilvēks, jo mīlīgāku izpleš valodiņu.”
― Gundega Repše, Bogene
