Clavecinul bine temperat – Richter

Atunci cand un geniu intalneste un alt geniu… bine, ai acest gen de performante care iti taia respiratia.
Perfect control al sunetului, perfect fraseggio, perfecta polifonia… ce mai este de spus?
Perfectiunea nu are nevoie de explicatii. Eventul, numai recunostinta.

Libertatea nu e doar un vis

“Freedom is not just a dream. It’s there on the other side of those fences we build all by ourselves.”
Dr. Ethan Powell, played by Anthony Hopkins in Instinct (1999)

“Libertatea nu este doar un vis. E acolo, pe partea cealaltă a acestor garduri pe care ne am construit singuri.”
Dr. Ethan Powell, jucat de Anthony Hopkins in Instinct (1999)

Numai credinta…

“When you’ve come to the edge of all the light that you know faith is the only one of two things that will happen for you. There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.”
Elizabeth Cooler Ross – “On Death and Dying”

“Când ajungi la marginea de toata lumina pe care o cunosti, credința este sa stii că numai unul dintre aceste două lucruri ti se vor întâmpla: sau vei găsi un punct solid pe care te poti sprijini, sau vei învăța să zbori”
Elizabeth Ross Cooler – “Despre Moartea si Murirea”

Frica este o alegere

”You have to remember, fear is not real. It is a product of the thoughts you create. Don’t misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.”
Cypher Raige (played by Will Smith) to his son, in “After earth”

“Amintestete ca frica nu e ceva real. E un produs ai gandurilor pe care tu ii creezi. Sa nu ma intelegi gresit: pericolul este intr-adevar real. Dar frica este o alegere.”
Cypher Raige (jucat de Will Smith) la fiul lui, in “After earth”

Vocatia

“Among his various possible beings each man always finds one which is his genuine and authentic being. The voice which calls him to that authentic being is what we call “vocation.” But the majority of men devote themselves to silencing that voice of the vocation and refusing to hear it. They manage to make a noise within themselves…to distract their own attention in order not to hear it; and they defraud themselves by substituting for their genuine selves a false course of life.” — JOSÉ ORTEGA Y GASSET

Norocul este in mainile tale

“Everyone holds his fortune in his own hands, like a sculptor the raw material he will fashion into a figure. But it’s the same with that type of artistic activity as with all others:We are merely born with the capability to do it.
The skill to mold the material into what we want must be learned and attentively cultivated.” — Goethe

The Power of Negative Thinking

Really interesting…

Both ancient philosophy and modern psychology suggest that darker thoughts can make us happier, writes Oliver Burkeman.

Muzica din gunoi?

Avem o groaza de lucruri, dar folosim ceea ce nu avem ca pretext pentru a nu face nimic.
Alti intr-adevar au numai gunoi, dar… i-l folosesc pentru a face minuni.
A asculta Bach cantat pe un violoncel facut cu piese recuperate din gunoi, este… pai… emotionant? Incredibil?
Nu stiu, va las sa judecati.
Fara cuvinte, numai muzica
