Freedom is man’s capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves.

Go now.

Влязох в Швейцария, където се оказа забранено да вкараш автоматичен нож. А аз имах един в колата, който при това беше подарък на баща ми. И те ми казват: „Господине, трябва да платите 300 франка глоба, че влизате с този нож.” Как ще платя, викам - този нож, първо, е подарък, второ - аз ви го подарявам (намига),и трето, мога да мина 500 метра и да си купя всички автоматични ножове, които са в страната. „Да, но това не е правилото. Законът е, че не може да ги вкарате.” Добре, искам да се върна в Германия. „Не може, господине, щом веднъж сте влезли, няма връщане.” Два часа седях на границата и накрая си платих. Ето за какви правила ви говоря. Когато всеки срещу теб стои с ясна цел какво прави и защо е там, нещата се променят. Ние страдаме, защото не си спазваме правилата, а само мрънкаме.

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”

- Audrey Hepburn

Charles Bukowski, “8 count”

from my bed
I watch
3 birds
on a telephone
wire.

one flies
off.
then
another.

one is left,
then
it too
is gone.

my typewriter is
tombstone
still.

and I am
reduced to bird
watching.

just thought I’d
let you
know,
fucker.

Kim Addonizio, “New Year’s Day”

The rain this morning falls   
on the last of the snow

and will wash it away. I can smell   
the grass again, and the torn leaves

being eased down into the mud.

[…]

Today I want   
to resolve nothing.

I only want to walk
a little longer in the cold

blessing of the rain,   
and lift my face to it.

Charles Bukowski, “The Laughing Heart”

your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

Clyde Martin: Just one more question. You just told me your entire history: childhood, family, career, every person you have had sex with. But there hasn’t been a single mention of love.
Alfred Kinsey: That’s because it’s impossible to measure love. And, as you know, without measurements there can be no science. But I have been thinking a lot about the problem lately.
Clyde Martin: Mmh, “problem”?
Alfred Kinsey: When it comes to love, we are all in the dark.
Clyde Martin: So you do think it matters.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Някъде горе, много нагоре, един ангел седна безпомощно на най-близкия облак и изпърха кратко с крила. Понякога гълъбите пърхат така през зимата. Когато нито могат да отлетят, нито могат да се стоплят, а просто се ежат на времето с някаква необяснима дързост.

- “Ангели на работа” (0-24h) – Теньо Гогов

The alphabet is a representation of a representation of a representation - a graphic notation describing an oral notation (speech) describing a mental representation or state. The invention of printing with movable type in democratization of the written word, and the first great international spread of that which the word encodes - ideas.
