“True solitude is found in the wild places, where one is without human obligation. One’s inner voices become audible… In consequence, one responds more clearly to other lives.”

“The emotionally intelligent person knows that they will only ever be mentally healthy in a few areas and at certain moments, but is committed to fathoming their inadequacies and warning others of them in good time, with apology and charm.”

Great read: https://t.co/RJgCmi0BYY

“Opened to the music, I became first the strings… and then the breeze of sound flowing past as it crossed the lips of the instrument and went out to meet the world, beginning its lonely transit of the universe.”

“Whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done!”

Van Gogh, born on this day in 1853, on art, life, and love: https://t.co/RE5Sq6ciX3

[Van Gogh Museum @vangoghmuseum]

For Vincent, art wasn’t about the glory. He wanted to move people with his art. 📝 ‘What’s inside must get out. Me, for instance, it gives me air when I make a painting, and without that I’d be unhappier than I am’. 🌻 #museumathome

Poet May Sarton on the cure for despair, and on solitude as the key to self-discovery https://t.co/pYpJZ3QUVS

“We have forgotten how to relate emotionally to art: we treat it like editors, searching in it for that which the artist has supposedly hidden. We demand some higher meaning from an author, but the work must act directly on our hearts or it has no meaning at all.” - A. Tarkovsky.

[Reconsidering Cinema @coenesqued2]

Tarkovsky's semi-autobiographical The Mirror (1975) drifts through time as memories merge with the evaporating "Now" of dreams. In order to time this scene the blocking had to be perfect; down to the falling bottle. The burning barn, the reflection, the rush to see: 3 long takes.

“Solitude is not chosen, any more than destiny is chosen. Solitude comes to us if we have within us the magic stone that attracts destiny.”

Hermann Hesse on solitude, the value of hardship, and how to find your destiny:

"Optimism and pessimism, as cosmic philosophies, show the same naïve humanism; the great world... is not concerned to make us happy or unhappy. All such philosophies spring from self-importance, and are best corrected by a little astronomy." Viva Russell https://t.co/QnQutwsu3c
