Animal Farm-George Orwell

Some lines from the book: -To that horror we all must come... -sooner or later justice will be done. -soon or late the day is coming -riches more than mind can picture -the whole farm was asleep in a moment. -when he was arguing some difficult point he had a way of skipping from side to side... -he could turn black into white. -can you not understand that liberty is worth more than ribbons? -at last they could stand it no longer. -his answer to every problem, every setback, was 'i will work harder' -as though nothing had happened. -on the whole, these projects were a failure. the attempt to tame the wild creatures, for instance, broke down almost immediately. they continued to behave very much as before, and when treated with generosity, simply took advantage of it. -keep it up for hours on end, never growing tired of it. -squealer was sent to make the necessary explanation to the others. -if there was one thing that the animals were completely certain of, it was...

豐子愷-兒童文學全集

#放在床頭已久,但久久未讀完的書。 #喜歡老師的畫、童心、童語。 #買前只讀過「漸」這一篇,很喜歡。世間一切都是慢慢的,一點一點在變化。從花開不知不覺走到花謝。好事、壞事,都是一點一點的累積。 #「物語」也夠發人心醒。動物、植物都在說話。數說人類的不是,常自稱是萬物之靈,明明我們都是「受命於天長育於地」而已。最近也在翻動物農莊,動物也在發聲。訴說人類如何剝削他物。人啊人,到底你有多傲慢! 喜歡的句子: -我們都是受命於天而長育於地的平等生物,應該各正性命,不相侵犯。 -人間的事,只要生機不滅,即使重遭天災人禍,暫被阻抑,終有抬頭的日子。 (待續)

情謎梵高 Loving Vincent

#悲傷的故事但精彩 #大開眼界。雖然一開始看時眼有些花頭有點暈,但慢慢習慣了就好。 #每人都有一個版本時,是覺得有點煩...but i like the message. Try not to think how the others think about you. As they just are the audience, they see what they want to see. #醫生覺得是「錢的現實」讓梵高掉進深藍裡,佢又咁欣賞梵高,點解唔出手資助救救呢兩兄弟呢? #睇完電影好想去睇梵高既畫,看他的作品,感受他當時的心情。 #your stars are rising. #starry starry night

熱帶風情-劉以鬯

時間過得太快,今年完全不知做了什麼就只剩兩個月了。為了讓自己起碼記得讀過什麼書,或鞭策自己多讀書,以後每讀完一書都來寫幾句感想或記錄一些喜歡的句子吧。 (入正題)從夏天開始看到入冬,終於差不多把劉以鬯的《熱帶風情》看畢。其實這本是可以看很快的短篇小說。就是不想太快看完,才故意慢慢省著看的。 劉先生寫的故事都很有趣,常常也叫人猜不著結局的,有時殘忍,有時又滿滿人情味⋯⋯這書的小故事都以南洋(新加坡?)做背景,異國風情味濃,極具神秘感。 有一篇講一對男女被朋友介紹而認識了對方,第一眼不是很合眼緣,跳舞時又互相認識一下,發現對方跟自己的喜好完全不同,什難發展下去。後來大家相繼遇到心中的「理想對象」,看似就是童話故事,大家都找到自己的心頭愛,皆大歡喜。但結局是,他們都沒有選擇「理想對象」,忍不住想念不投緣的對方、忍不住吻了不算順眼的對方、忍不住去接觸對方喜歡的東西⋯⋯很貼切的題目,「這就是愛情」。
