  1. Alexander McCall Smith _ Full Cupboard of Life/In the

    It would be strange to live in a country where people were silent, passing one another in the street wordlessly, as if frightened of what the other might think or say. This was not the African way, where people would call out and converse with one another from opposite sides of a road, or across a wide expanse of bush, careless of who heard. Such conversations could be carried on by people walking in different directions, until voices grew too faint and too distant to be properly heard and words were swallowed by the sky. That was a good way of parting from a friend, so less abrupt than words of farewell followed by silence.

    Znajdujemy w życiu to, czego szukamy", powiedział kiedyś do niej ojciec. I miał rację: jeśli szukasz w życiu szczęścia, znajdziesz szczęście, jeśli szukasz nieufności, zazdrości i nienawiści, to znajdziesz nieufność, zazdrość i nienawiść.
