What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, my uncle used to say. That was before the accident.

Jimmy Carr

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. These are things we don't know we don't know.

Mooie, erg waar.

Enkele favorieten van mij:

"Wer also nicht die einsamkeit liebt, der liebt auch nicht die freiheit" - Schopenhauer

"Het avondrood van de ondergang kleurt alles met de bekering van de nostalgie; ook de guillotine." - Milan Kundera, de ondraaglijke lichtheid van het bestaan

"Man muß dem Schicksal in den Rachen greifen" - Beethoven

"You cannot go on 'explaining away' for ever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it" - C.S. Lewis

"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." - C.S. Lewis

Dalai Lama

"Waar een wil is, is een weg, zelfs als de weg weg is"

Ja, dat is een van mijn favorieten !

Ook deze van Louis de Bernieres is erg mooi :

“Love is a temporary madness; it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.”

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players." - Shakespeare

"It's a brave and stupid thing, a beautiful thing, to waste one's life for love"

"We have no heart at seventeen. We think we do; we think we have been cursed with a holy, bloated thing that twitches at the name we adore, but it is not a heart because though it will forfeit anything in the world—the mind, the body, the future, even the last lonely hour it has—it will not sacrifice itself. It is not a heart, at seventeen."

"We are each the love of someone's life"

- Andrew Sean Greer, The confessions of Max Tivoli

Op het verzekeringsgebouw nog wel. Dat maakt het extra ironisch. Lach iedere keer weer als ik de roltrap bij Blaak opkom.
