power, hug

.

Anybody can become angry – that is easy,

but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree

and at the right time and for the right purpose,

and in the right way – that is not within everybody’s power.

(Aristotle)

.

Never wait until tomorrow to hug someone you could hug today,

because when you give one, you get one right back your way.

(Author unknown)

.

perception of silence

.

„You tell me that silence

is nearer to peace than poems

but if for my gift

I brought you silence

(for I know silence)

you would say

This is not silence

this is another poem

and you would hand it back to me“

(L. Cohen   –   „Gift“)

.

paroles, bruit

.

En présence d’un être,

on dirait que ce ne sont pas tellement les paroles qui comptent,

mais leur musique.

(G. Archambault)

.


Les plus grands événements ce ne sont pas nos heures les plus bruyantes,

mais nos heures les plus silencieuses.

(F.W. Nietzsche)
