Quoi de neuf?

Qu’allait-il chercher qu’il ne connût déjà? /Marcel Brion

The winds always blow...

From where the wind comes and where it blows we know nothing but that the clouds are blue. Sentiments are spiritual winds...

It's applicable for dogs, children, adults

The most interesting is always a little bit outside the very end of the leash.

Don't panic!

Adults now and then get themselves into the panic room and all sorts of other hysteria (with Jodie Foster). It's really quite normal.

Street fighting

They don’t imagine, not even for the twinkle of the eye, that this life is an enormous duel, a street fighting of the worst possible sort, from the very beginning to the last sigh in the end. No one will be spared. They will all be killed.

A little story from WW2

In our tenement house we have common laundry rooms with washing machines, centrifuges, dryers etc. Perfect I would say.

I met a small woman there, very fragile and quite old. She said something and I asked her: Are you from Czechia? She looked very surprised and said Yes, I lived in Czechia as very young, but we soon moved to Germany. I lived in Berlin during the World War II, during all the bombings of civilian blocks by the English and the US, I know how they bombed all the cities. It was completely horrible and lots of friends died. I don’t like US because of that. Ever since, up to now, US still bombs civilians in lots of countries. It's for our freedom every guy in US tells us. But what about the freedom of the other guys then? In EU very few has any sympathy whatsoever for US, as a matter of fact.

For 50 years ago, she said, we were tricked into moving to Sweden. We would never have done it if we had known how very poor it was here.

That was a nice Lady with a terrible destiny. I hope to see her again but I'm pretty sure I will not. That's life!

Cyril Collard

We need realism: Imagine you have a son of about 30. He’s very clever and is a coming star in the film industry.He asks you to read his new book. He tells that he has HIV and will soon die. He tells a story of his wicked underground life in Paris. It is fascinating and disgusting as well. Read the book and see the film. Cyril Collard: Les nuits fauves, 253 pages.

The Extensialism

By reading Sartre and his Existensialism I learn to do things in a more intellectual and rational mode and and maybe avoid the rat traps, but still enjoying the cheese.
