Abendstimmung in Stavros auf Kreta

Omnia mea mecum porto.

Alles, was mein ist, trage ich mit mir.

Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften

Wir haben keine inneren Stimmen mehr,

wir wissen heute zuviel,

der Verstand tyrannisiert unser Leben.

Robert Musil (1880 – 1942)

There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.

Es gibt nur ein einziges Gut für den Menschen: die Wissenschaft, und nur ein einziges Übel: Unwissenheit.

Sokrates

Triest in Italy in December-Triest in Italien im Dezember

Do you know the land where the lemons bloom
The golden oranges glow in the dark foliage,
A gentle wind blows from the blue sky,
The myrtle stands still and the laurel stands tall,
Do you know it?
Gone! there
I would like to go with you, o my beloved!

Kennst du das Land, wo die Zitronen blühn,
Im dunklen Laub die Goldorangen glühn,
Ein sanfter Wind vom blauen Himmel weht,
Die Myrte still und hoch der Lorbeer steht,
Kennst du es wohl?
Dahin! Dahin
Möcht ich mit dir, o mein Geliebter, ziehn!

Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Tersanas end of October Crete Greece

Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.

Lauren DeStefano

Kalathas Crete Greece in October

If you had swum across the furthest ocean
And seen the vastness of infinity
Though dread of death might seize you, you’d still see
The rolling waves in never-ceasing motion

You’d still see something: Schools of dolphins swimming
Across the green and placid waters, skimming
The clouds, the sun and the moon, stars overhead –
You will see nothing in that void all round
You will not hear your footsteps where you tread
Beneath your feet, you’ll feel no solid ground
Goethe

Not in doing what you like, but in liking what you do is the secret of happiness.

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
