Feinsamkeit.

Learn to love solitude, to be more alone with yourselves. The tragedy of today’s young people is that they try to unite on the basis of carrying out noisy and aggressive actions so as not to feel lonely, and this is a sad thing. The individual must learn from childhood to be on his own, for this doesn’t mean to be lonely: it means to not get bored with oneself, because a person who finds himself bored when he is alone, it seems to me, is a person in danger.

Andrei Tarkovsky on being asked, ‘What would you like to tell young people?’ (via fuckyeahsolitude.tumblr.com)

Try not to leave.

But the more you hold on to me
The less you can have of me
The more you hold on to me
The less I am yours to keep

Wallis Bird - In Dictum

And he's gone.

Wenn ein'n man jümmers bloß die Wohrheit vertellt, denn is dat de Tid nich wert, dat je em tohört

Jonas Jonassons Großvater

Success.

To laugh often and love much,
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children,
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends,
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden path, or a redeemed social condition,
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.

Bessie Anderson Stanley (1905) et al.

Und jedes Wo.

Wer ein Warum zu leben hat erträgt fast jedes Wie.
