Happiness is only possible as an ongoing project. The pursuit of the thing, it turns out, is the thing itself.

“Unbearable”

Il y a sur terre de telles immensités de misère, de détresse, de gêne et d’horreur, que l’homme heureux n’y peut songer sans prendre honte de son bonheur.

André Gide

Lost wisdom

Monday, 4 January 2010 | 23:13

Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.

Plato

End of (holi)days

Saturday, 2 January 2010 | 3:06

Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.

Henry Ward Beecher

Out with the old

Thursday, 31 December 2009 | 12:03

New Year’s eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights.

And to all a good night

Sunday, 27 December 2009 | 2:33

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.

Charles Dickens

The holiday spirit

What is important is that each of us begins to trust in our own beauty and our capacity to do beautiful things.

Ce qu’on emprisonne nous retient dans la prison. Ce qu’on détruit nous détruit à son tour.

A-t-on bien vu que, lorsque le destin s’en mêle, il va comme le vent et jonche la route avec les coeurs – nos pauvres coeurs humains ? Ainsi se font les feuilles mortes.

Onset of autumn

Tuesday, 22 September 2009 | 15:29

1095990_fall_in_the_park_-_hdr

Automne canadien. Ardente et transparente agonie des feuillages : le baiser du soleil après la morsure du gel. Puisse notre mort ressembler à celle de ces feuilles d’érable : se laisser successivement briser par la douleur et transfigurer par la grâce…

-Gustave Thibon

Walk this way

Monday, 14 September 2009 | 18:59

525922_break_in_fence

La promenade est un art amoureux, un art du tissage. Le mouvement des corps et celui des pensées, le fou rire d’un ruisseau et l’effarouchement des bêtes sous les buissons, tout va ensemble, tout fait une seule étoffe, entrelaçant l’air et le songe, le visible et l’invisible.

Christian Bobin, Isabelle Bruges

Petite pensée

Friday, 7 August 2009 | 7:39

525201_piano_by_macro

Qu’est-ce que l’amour? C’est ce que personne ne sait. Mais qu’est-ce que personne? C’est chacun de nous dans le secret de sa vie engloutie. L’amour s’adresse en nous au plus intime, à ce qui, dans le plus intime de nous, est sans visage, sans forme et sans nom: personne.

Christian Bobin, Lettres d’or

Curiosity killed the cat, you know…

La cynique est... Végétarienne. Activist. Socialiste. Perfectionistic. Stubborn. Attentive. Curvy. Quiet. Rebelle. Feminine. Sensible. Opinionated. Généralement anxieuse. A closeted optimist.

Cet espace est... Un lieu bilingue, libre et ouvert, without censorship (unless you're an evil spammer, in which case I will happily drive a stake through your heart and proudly display your head on a pike), plein de poésie et de beauté (espérons). Now put on your reading glasses and get busy.

The hills are alive
