Those who would wander
may sometimes lie down to rest
but never look back

[✪∂тg✪ @dtg581]

At midnight with starlight to guide there
The place where she’s resting in dreams.
Oh, may I someday abide there,
Life is good however it seems.
—Goethe: The Bridegroom (1824)

[GOETHE @DailyGoethe]

Wie es auch sei, das Leben, es ist gut.

Juin 1940. Tout juste 20 ans. Un étudiant, qui pourrait penser à sa carrière. Mais il devient "Franck" et fédère les jeunes résistants qui sèment le chaos en Rhône-Alpes. Jusqu'au 8 juil. 1944. La capture. La torture. Et le 12, l'exécution. Henri Debiez n'avait encore que 24 ans.

“What makes the book strong is its honesty. Carroll does not write like a scholar hiding behind long words. He writes like a man trying to understand. His research is wide, but his tone stays human. He speaks of…the hope that faith can still guide people toward good.”

[Mike Aenlle @mfaenlle]

How did a faith built on love feed centuries of hatred toward Jewish people? Carroll traces every step of that dark path.

Close up shot of a Crested Kingfisher (Megaceryle lugubris).
Its beaks inspired the design of Japanese bullet trains. Engineers copied the long, wedge-shaped beak to help trains slice through air soundlessly, preventing sonic booms when entering tunnels.

He has studied the world without despising it. He understands the world without rejecting it. He has no illusions but he has hopes. He does not sleepwalk through his life. His eyes are open, and his ears for sounds others miss.—Hilary Mantel: Bring Up the Bodies

[Rook @Cpt_Rook]

Er versteht die Welt, ohne sie abzulehnen. Er hat keine Illusionen, aber er hat Hoffnungen. Er schlafwandelt nicht durch sein Leben. Seine Augen sind offen, und seine Ohren hören Töne, die andere überhören.

Physicists will not admit it publicly, but they all believe there is a vast, intergalactic conspiracy to make their equations match their observations. There is no other explanation.

“I have heard of you, Mr. Holmes. I heard from Major Prendergast how you saved him in the Tankerville Club scandal.…He said that you could solve anything.”
“He said too much.”
“That you are never beaten.”
“I have been beaten four times—three times by men, and once by a woman.”

“…in the accounts which you have been so good as to give of my own small achievements you have habitually underrated your own abilities. It may be that you are not luminous, but you are a conductor of light. Some people without genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it.

Universities decline in the degree that technical progress spreads into them from the secondary schools. The university becomes a technical training center and servant of technical progress.—Friedrich Jünger

I wonder how things I once called "infinite" could be contained within just a few memories...

White-booted Racket-tail (Ocreatus underwoodii) weighing only about 3 grams. Males are highly territorial. In flight, they make a buzzing sound like a bumblebee. They catch small insects and spiders in the air (hawking behavior) for protein.

Quotes are popular because they condense complex thoughts and experiences into just a few words. They are catchy, easy to remember, and shorten communication—especially on social media. A quote should stimulate further thought—not replace one's own thinking.—Rudolf X. Ruter

[Alex Hildebrandt @AHildebrandt70]

„Zitate faszinieren mich, weil sie oft ein ganzes Gedankenkonzept in wenigen, einprägsamen Worten verdichten.“ Rudolf X. Ruter
