Rogo di Strega

The obedient...

Il pensiero critico.

The man who does not read good books...

We never leave a library empty handed.

Die Rose ist ohne Warum...

Die Rose ist ohne Warum.

Sie blühet, weil sie blühet.

Sie achtet nicht ihrer selbst,

fragt nicht, ob man sie siehet.

Angelus Silesius, 

Cherubinischer Wandersmann, Buch 1.

The rose is without 'why';

it blooms simply because it blooms.

It pays no attention to itself,

nor does it ask whether anyone sees it.

Todo está en manos de Dios.

hay un paso

Rien n’est jamais fini pour toujours

Rien n’est jamais fini pour toujours...

Nulla è mai finito per sempre...

Bad relationships with bad people

If you have bad relationships with bad people you will have a hard life; but, somehow, in spite of all the consequences, you’ll have a good life.

(Sergio Caldarella)

Through the Looking-Glass

Today’s society seems to make a strict point of putting harlots as heads of convents and nuns as heads of brothels. By doing so, we become then incapable of doing anything beyond reversing meaning and reality, as directed by the wishes of the powerful or the delusional. 

(Sergio Caldarella)  

Knowledge is like candles

Knowledge is like candles: when one is used to light another, it does not diminish the light of the first. On the contrary, everything becomes brighter. 

(Thomas Jefferson) 

Traduzione: La conoscenza è come le candele: quando se ne usa una per accenderne un’altra, non diminuisce la luce della prima. Al contrario, tutto diventa più luminoso. 

Common public education

Things we have now to endure.

«"Darkness is good," says Bannon, who amid the suits surrounding him at Trump Tower, looks like a graduate student in his T-shirt, open button-down and tatty blue blazer — albeit a 62-year-old graduate student. "Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That's power. It only helps us when they" — I believe by "they" he means liberals and the media, already promoting calls for his ouster — "get it wrong. When they're blind to who we are and what we're doing."»
