Quote of the day......

Out of the crooked timber of humanity, 

No straight thing was ever made.

--- Immanuel Kant.

Quote of the day.........

 Freedom and love go together. 

Love is not a reaction. 

If I love you because you love me, 

that is mere trade, 

A thing to be bought in the market; 

It is not love. 

To love is not to ask anything in return, 

not even to feel that 

you are giving something- and 

It is only such love..... 

that can know freedom.

― J. Krishnamurti.

Authenticity and Inner truth.........

I think in fact that unless 

there is an organic link 

between the subjective impressions of 

the author and his objective 

representation of reality, 

he will not achieve... 

even superficial credibility, 

let alone authenticity and 

inner truth.

--Andrei Tarkovsky.

What does Art do ............

Art must carry man’s craving for the ideal, 

must be an expression of 

his reaching out towards it; 

that art must give man hope and faith. 

And the more hopeless 

the world in the artist’s version, 

the more clearly perhaps must we see 

the ideal that stands in opposition – 

otherwise life becomes impossible! 

Art symbolizes........ 

the meaning of our existence.

--Andrei Tarkovsky.

What endures.....

 Some sort of pressure must exist; 

the artist exists because --

the world is not perfect. 

Art would be useless 

if the world were perfect, 

as man wouldn’t look for harmony 

but would simply live in it. 

Art is born out of 

an ill-designed world.

-- Andrei Tarkovsky.

Courage....

The lack of courage of 

the masses make 

terror against 

individual groups possible.

--- Peter Graf. Editor.

To be lost...... To a cause...

Nothing in the nature of reality or 

Any worldly possession is 

Greater than...... 

One's own true salvation

A quest......

That is worthy of

The wise.

Choosing Easy.....

We end up choosing easy 

More so because...... 

We lack amongst us 

The one's that are....

Capable of difficult tasks.
