“And we speak of everything that does not come true, which is to say: it was August.”


— Ilya Kaminsky


“Summer has no day,’ she said. ‘We can’t possibly have a summer love. So many people have tried that the name’s become proverbial. Summer is only the unfulfilled promise of spring, a charlatan in place of the warm balmy nights I dream of in April. It’s a sad season of life without growth…it has no day.”


— F. Scott Fitzgerald.This Side of Paradise

"Živimo u vremenu u kom je izgubljena zahvalnost, princip žrtve, gde su sve stvari koje nas čine neponovljivim proglašene za slabost. Treba promisliti, čitati knjige, ali neće ljudi, nemaju vremena. Ljudi su se toliko odrekli sebe. U borbi za život čovek je zaboravio na suštinu života. Boje se da se otvore, toliko izgubljenog poverenja u sebe imaju, toliko imaju u srcu stenja i onda se opredeljuju za usamljenost. Kao, u svoja četiri zida osećaće se kako oni hoće i neće morati nikome da polažu račune. Na kraju krajeva, ti zidovi će tražiti od njih da sami sebi polože račun. Čovek je zaboravio na blagu reč, na spušten ton, neće tome da veruje, neće da veruje čoveku koji mu se ljudski obraća. On samo veruje onome ko nosi bič i mač u svojoj ruci. To je tako nevaspitano. Nekulturni smo, pa smo siromašni.“

Cane

“At some point in life the world’s beauty becomes enough. You don’t need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough. No record of it needs to be kept and you don’t need someone to share it with or tell it to. When that happens — that letting go — you let go because you can.”


— Toni Morrison

SVE TE NJEŽNE I HRABRE ŽENE

Sve te nježne i hrabre žene
Koje ne primjećujete
Koje se sakriju u kap kiše
U jesen u maju
U proljeće
Ispod kišobrana
Tih istih kišobrana
Koje uvijek gube
Ili poklanjaju
Onima koje vole

— Igor Varga, „Sve te nježne i hrabre žene”

We don’t create a fantasy world to escape reality, we create it to be able to stay.

[Caesar]

“Just as the physical eye is attracted to the beauty of things visible, so the purified intellect is attracted to the knowledge of things invisible. By things invisible, I mean things incorporeal.” St. Maximos the Confessor

[Caesar]

„To enjoy,—what a sad aim, and what a paltry ambition! The brute enjoys. To offer thought to the thirst of men, to give them all as an elixir the notion of God, to make conscience and science fraternize in them, to render them just by this mysterious confrontation; such is the function of real philosophy.” Victor Hugo, Les Miserables

"Duhovni vrhunac je postignut u trenutku kada se život završava." K.G. Jung

Nobody is making you feel what you are feeling.
Your reactions are caused by how you interpret any situation.
This is so important because it means that you ultimately become your own resource of emotional freedom and truth.

Ako koga što muči...

Pri najmanjoj zlovolji, a tim prije pri najmanjoj tuzi treba odjuriti na najbliže groblje koje nam iznenada podjeljuje mir koji bismo uzalud tražili negdje drugdje. Čudotvoran lijek za jednokratnu upotrebu.
Emil Sioran
