Rainer Maria Rilke - letters to a young poet
Don't look for answers that cannot be given to you, because you would not be able to live them. For it is precisely a matter of living everything. Live the questions for now. Perhaps later, little by little, without realizing it, one day in the distant future, you will be able to live the answer. Perhaps you will carry within yourself the possibility of creating and shaping - as a way of being particularly happy and pure. Educate yourself for this, but accept whatever comes with complete confidence. If it comes only from your will, from some need of your inner being, accept it and do not hate it. The flesh is a difficult weight to carry. But what has been entrusted to us is difficult, almost everything that is serious is difficult: and everything is serious. If you come to recognize this and achieve - starting from yourself, from your inclination and your way of being, from your experience and childhood - a relationship that is entirely yours (free from conventions and customs) with the flesh, you will no longer have to fear losing yourself and becoming unworthy of your most precious possession.

Milan Kundera - The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“We can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come. Was it better to be with Teresa or to remain alone? There is no means of testing which decision is better, because there is no basis for comparison. We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life b...

The Adlers Vienna, November 1938 A sense of misfortune hung in the air. From the early morning hours, a menacing breeze had swept through the streets, whistling between the buildings, forcing its way in through the cracks under doors and windows. "Just winter settling in," Rudolph Adler murmured to himself in an attempt to lighten his mood. But he couldn't blame the weather for the tightness in...
Book of Disquiet - Fernando Pessoa (Bernardo Soares)
มุมมอง 1.4K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
I write, sad, in my quiet room, alone as I have always been, alone as I will always be. And I wonder if my voice, apparently so little, doesn't embody the substance of thousands of voices, the hunger to be told of thousands of lives, the patience of millions of souls submissive like mine to everyday fate, to useless dreams, to hope without a trace. In these moments my heart beats louder because...

I am still a nomad - Ricardo Bofill
มุมมอง 263 หลายเดือนก่อน
A nomad, I’m still a nomad. A traveller with no haven is forced to establish his points of reference depending on the route he takes. I was born in Barcelona, my father was Catalan and my mother was from Venice. I am at the crossroads of two cultures that clashed and melted throughout history. In my early years, I crossed the Straits of Gibraltar, going south, and discovered in the valley of Dr...
A hora da estrela (The hour of the star) - Clarice Lispector

Everything in the world began with a yes. One molecule said yes to another molecule and life was born. But before prehistory there was prehistory prehistory and there was never and there was yes. There has always been. I don't know what, but I do know that the universe never began. Let no one fool themselves, I only achieve simplicity through hard work. How can I start at the beginning if thing...
Dois dias e cinco miragens - Two days and five mirages
มุมมอง 343 หลายเดือนก่อน
It was late for me to exist, to feel the absolute truth of who I am on my face. When I woke up, it wasn't me who was walking, it wasn't me tiptoeing across the wet ground. It was like this, always like this, that I bent over myself, eager to feel, feverish to believe that tomorrow would still be drawn on the line that runs through my hand. Green with hope, when the seconds tick away, the mornin...
O caminho ( the path)
มุมมอง 593 หลายเดือนก่อน
I had run here without what polished stones I had stepped on. Still panting, leaning over my weight, I contemplated the last pale marigold. From there, the cold took over the banks and the path materialized in the shadows. It was a point of no return, melancholy hovered just a step away. The tall pine trees swayed in the wind displaying their pearly white needles that invited me to dream. Under...

Restrained speed, Vittorio Lampugnani
มุมมอง 114 หลายเดือนก่อน
The city's architecture plays a central role here. It has the task of shaping the world in such a way that it meets people's needs; and if people are not to be bent under a universal, totalitarian law but are to live freely, according to the traditions and inclinations of different peoples, groups and individuals, the world must be shaped differently from case to case. This is only possible if ...
Peter Handke, But I only live from the spaces in between.
มุมมอง 145 หลายเดือนก่อน
A conversation with Herbert Gamper Yes, of course, it's all ambivalent. It is an eternal oscillation on this threshold, for which perhaps another term would be "fertile border". On the other hand, I wouldn't say value vacuum. It sounds so negative. For me - I can tell you this clearly - there is no greater value than this experience, this breathing in of emptiness... that these interspaces beco...
Camille Claudel
มุมมอง 245 หลายเดือนก่อน
Letter to Paul Claudel 3 March 1930 And then they put me in prison for life so that I can't claim anything back! All this basically springs from Rodin's diabolical brain. He had only one thought, that after his death I could achieve great renown as an artist and become greater than him. He had to keep me in his clutches, bend or break, after his death, as he did in his life. He succeeded on all...

Don't tell me I'm through, it seems to me I'm all the way through, but where is she, where has she hidden among all these girls I'm beginning to see now in the first twilight, but I can't smell what I want to smell, I search around like a fool and can't find her, Have mercy, have mercy on me, I glide from skin to skin and search for the lost skin that resembles no other skin. For every woman's ...

Germany is my other nest. As you know, that's where I was born in 1266... My fascination began with the German language, clear, logical, geometric, and rigorous - for me the most beautiful language in the world. It's as precise as a building, you can't take anything away from it or it will fall down. Then I think what I fell in love with was the German mentality, with which I empathise greatly,...
