“ Est-ce que les verbes peuvent s’inventer? Je veux t’en dire un : je te ciel, et ainsi mes ailes s’étirent, énormes, pour t’aimer sans limites”. Frida Kahlo @carola_de_marco https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZlbXMtH9sDB1s4VrFYndisGCcTnZVsojV1GA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yello à tous ! Un petit rien... Merci et belle soirée ⚓🪶 J'ai voulu cueillir l'éphémère Pour en faire un joli bouquet Tout aérien dans l'ordinaire Il était pourtant singulier J'ai pris soin de ne pas souffler J'évitais même de respirer Je voulais juste le garder Pour très longtemps à mes côtés Je le gardais bien abrité J'avais refermé les fenêtres N'ayant d'yeux que pour sa beauté De peur de le voir disparaître J'ai voulu cueillir l'éphémère Pour en faire une éternité Entre deux portes, un courant d'air Est venu et l'a emporté... Soazic - Bouquet d'éphémère - 29.03.23 https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZWGdLtmwtKzk0ktVpnTChZtB9sjgn-btYcpQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some time ago a group of people were sitting in a restaurant, and one of them asked the others to say what they meant by Reality. There was much vague discussion, much talk of metaphysics and psychology, but one of those present, when asked his opinion, simply shrugged his shoulders and pointed at the saltshaker. He was amazed to find that no one understood him, yet he had intended to be neither clever nor obscure. His idea was just to give a commonsense answer to the question, on the ordinary assumption that Reality is whatever exists. He was not understood because his friends, in common with many others, regarded Reality as a special kind of existence and Life (with a capital L) as a particular way of living. Thus we often meet those who talk about the difference between being a mere clod, a mere “animated stomach,” and a real person; between those who simply exist and those who really live.

“Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing we are interested in here.” Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZVT0GtacN8_89kZK1o-Dm9Tr5_XIgiN9YJbs0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ce n'est pas la Terre qui est en danger; elle va continuer à tourner sur elle-même et autour du Soleil. Ce n'est même pas la vie qui est menacée. Elle est robuste et les espèces ont déjà connu cinq extinctions majeures. C'est nous (humains) qui sommes en péril... H.

« On a intérêt au bonheur des autres, on a intérêt à ce que les autres ne soient pas malades, on a intérêt au succès des autres parce que nous sommes une équipe collective. » Jacques Attali https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZPkLQLqNwaQ07mnpsWCIjaUL6z9wTjO_eJds0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

« Seul ce qui est juste est légitime. Le crime et le mensonge ne le sont en aucun cas. » Simone Weil - Note sur la suppression générale des partis politiques @irisgene https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZPa8brm11R667dOp6NqkJuj8s1AIVUXifeHQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“If there’s anything the Enlightenment thinkers had in common, it was an insistence that we energetically apply the standard of reason to understanding our world, and not fall back on generators of delusion like faith, dogma, revelation, authority, charisma, mysticism, divination, visions, gut feelings, or the hermeneutic parsing of sacred texts” —Steven Pinker, Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZPReprZRzlm-gRFM5zMuplCyZBildE46gMMw0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space: living, changing, new. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, only today can be given form. Only such architecture is creative." Happy birthday to Modernist icon Mies van der Rohe, born this day in 1886. Pictured is the 1950s-era Seagram Building, on Park Avenue in New York. Spectacular then, spectacular now.

Il y a une chose plus triste à perdre que la vie, c'est la raison de vivre, plus triste que de perdre ses biens, c'est de perdre son espérance. Paul Claudel https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZOyrCrkTRicZrAQXHTu3h0DbcLEpJ-dIBynU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The emotionally intelligent person knows that love is a skill, not a feeling, and will require trust, vulnerability, generosity, humor, sexual understanding, and selective resignation. The emotionally intelligent person awards themselves the time to determine what gives their working life meaning and has the confidence and tenacity to try to find an accommodation between their inner priorities and the demands of the world. The emotionally intelligent person knows how to hope and be grateful, while remaining steadfast before the essentially tragic structure of existence. The emotionally intelligent person knows that they will only ever be mentally healthy in a few areas and at certain moments, but is committed to fathoming their inadequacies and warning others of them in good time, with apology and charm… There are few catastrophes, in our own lives or in those of nations, that do not ultimately have their origins in emotional ignorance.

“Le discours politique est destiné à donner aux mensonges l'accent de la vérité, à rendre le meurtre respectable et à donner l'apparence de la solidarité à un simple courant d'air.” George Orwell https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZOBOTrwOZuL3eAzWS-WO8z5j4abnV2yTb55w0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
