Knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength;
Mastering yourself is true power.“

Le Soleil moribond s’endormir sous une arche,
Et, comme un long linceul traînant à l’Orient,
Entends, ma chère, entends la douce Nuit qui marche.

[Edmund @Kulambq]

'Listening to music has become a trivial everyday affair as a result of technical progress. Listening to music is nothing out of the ordinary any more, you can hear music wherever you go, you are practically forced to hear music, in every department store, in every doctor's surgery, on every street, indeed you cannot avoid music nowadays, you wish to escape from it but you cannot escape, this age is totally accompanied by background music, that is the catastrophe, Reger said.'

Thomas Bernhard

“For a conscious being, to exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating one’s self endlessly.”

Ernst Jünger: “When we look back, our eyes alight on graves and ruins, on a field of rubble. We are then inveigled by a mirage of time: while believing that we are advancing and progressing, we are actually moving toward that past. Soon we will belong to it: time passes over us.”

"Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one centre of pain."

~ Oscar Wilde ; De Profundis

"I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity."
