shy waves that kiss the sand
in my coffee cup
Cars hiss by my window (The Doors)
Βοτσαλα, στο δρομο της επιστροφης
Les humanités vous rendent plus tolérant, plus généreux, plus sensible à la beauté du monde et plus respectueux des autres. Les humanités ne servent à rien d'autre qu'à vous rendre plus humain.
J. de Romilly, 2008
Because of its tremendous solemnity, death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearences.
A human being's eternal dignity lies precisely in this, that he can gain a history. The divine in him lies in this, that he himself, if he so chooses, can give this history continuity, because it gains that, not when it is a summary of what has taken place or has happened to me, but only when it is my personal deed in such a way that even that which has happened to me is transformed and transferred from necessity to freedom. What is enviable about human life is that one can assist God, can understand him, and in turn the only worthy way for a human being to understand God is to appropriate in freedom everything that comes to him, both the happy and the sad.
Søren Kierkegaard, “Either-Or”
