05:05 pm - The Genius Of The Crowd
there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average
human being to supply any given army on any given day
and the best at murder are those who preach against it
and the best at hate are those who preach love
and the best at war finally are those who preach peace
those who preach god, need god
those who preach peace do not have peace
those who preach love do not have love
beware the preachers
beware the knowers
beware those who are always reading books
beware those who either detest poverty
or are proud of it
beware those quick to praise
for they need praise in return
beware those who are quick to censor
they are afraid of what they do not know
beware those who seek constant crowds for
they are nothing alone
beware the average man the average woman
beware their love, their love is average
seeks average
but there is genius in their hatred
there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
to kill anybody
not wanting solitude
not understanding solitude
they will attempt to destroy anything
that differs from their own
not being able to create art
they will not understand art
they will consider their failure as creators
only as a failure of the world
not being able to love fully
they will believe your love incomplete
and then they will hate you
and their hatred will be perfect
like a shining diamond
like a knife
like a mountain
like a tiger
like hemlock
their finest art

11:23 am - If— by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Двести лет это так не много когда тебе тридцать, как же это воспринимается, когда тебе восемьдесят пять?

"Знаете, часто автор и читатель понимают один и тот же текст по-разному. В "Ревизоре" все увидели социальную сатиру, а для самого Гоголя смысл был в том, что Хлестаков - это ложная внешняя личность, светская оболочка. А настоящий ревизор, появляющийся под занавес, - это подлинная совесть, пробуждающаяся в самом конце жизненной драмы."

Вот знаменитое письмо Моцарта к отцу Леопольду, 1778 год: «Симфония началась... как раз в середине первого Allegro был один пассаж, который, я знал, должен был понравиться. Все слушатели были от него в большом восторге и многие аплодировали. А поскольку я знал, как мне лучше его написать и какое он произведет впечатление, то я повторил его и в конце. И тогда все пошло Da capo. Andante тоже понравилось, но особенно — последнее Allegro. Поскольку я слышал, что здесь все последние Allegro, как и первые, начинаются всеми инструментами и обычно в unisono, то я начал только двумя скрипками piano, всего 8 тактов. Тут слушатели, как я и ожидал, во время piano зашикали. Затем сразу следовало forte. Когда они услышали forte, начались рукоплескания. Сразу после симфонии я на радостях пошел в Пале-Рояль, взял хорошего мороженого и прочел все молитвы».

The condition of one's body can be a status symbol. In times past, when workers did physical labor outdoors under the sun and often had little food, being pale and fat was a status symbol, indicating wealth and prosperity (through having enough food and not having to do manual labor). Now that workers usually do less-physical work indoors and find little time for exercise, being tanned and thin is often a status symbol in Western culture.
