…quotation:
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.
Henry Adams

It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.
Aesop

Do not think of knocking out another person's brains because he differs in opinion from you. It would be as rational to knock yourself on the head because you differ from yourself ten years ago.
Horace Mann

You have all the characteristics of a popular politician: a horrible voice, bad breeding, and a vulgar manner.
Aristophanes, Knights, 424 B.C.


…fragments of poetry:
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

this bitter feeling crept up from my soul
I unhooked your name on this endless scroll
and I want to weep, but my eyes are dry
so don’t you see, there’s no tear left to cry
No tear left to cry – Dirk Wonhöfer

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'cause you don't love me anymore?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
The End of the World - Skeeter Davis

A soul in the soul of my people am I
And sing of its sorrows and joys,
For mine are your wounds and I cry
Whenever you do, drinking dry
That chalice of poison that's meant for Fate's toys.
Whatever your pathway, together we'll ail,
We'll bear the same cross and we'll feel the same nail;
Your banner and creed will be mine;
The shrine of my hopes I shan't fail
To set by the side your shrine.
The poet - George Cosbuc

Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness- for then
The spirits of the dead, who stood
In life before thee, are again
In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still.
Spirits of the Dead - E.A. Poe
