Reading a book on English, recommended by another student of @CraigAshton webinar. Lovely quotes (may spam a bit)
«…I have learnt… that my happiness has a sad face, so sad that for years I took it for my unhappiness and drove it away(I. Murdoch).— …Я узнала… что у моего счастья очень грустное лицо, такое грустное, что годами я принимала его за свое несчастье и гнала прочь.»

«Particles of raw inspiration sleet through the universe all the time. Every once in a while one of them hits a receptive mind, which then invents DNA or the flute sonata form or a way of making light bulbs wear out in half the time. But most of them miss. Most people go through their lives without being hit by even one.»

I’m sure there are countless allusions throughout the book. I’ve recognized 1 so far :-(
