â Quoi ?
L'éternité.

Alchimie du Ver
Le grand principe de la vertu, câest que lâĂąme s'exerce Ă se passer des biens mondains et pĂ©rissables, afin de pouvoir un jour les abandonner. Il est encore tendre, lâhomme pour qui la patrie a de la douceur ; fort, celui pour qui toute terre est patrie ; mais lâhomme accompli, câest celui qui vit le monde entier comme un exil.Â
Hugues de Saint-Victor
In today's state of hyperactivity, where boredom is not allowed to emerge, we never reach the state of deep mental relaxation. The information society is an age of heightened mental tension, because the essence of information is surprise and the stimulus it provides. The tsunami of information means that our perceptual apparatus is permanently stimulated. It can no longer enter into contemplation. The tsunami of information fragments our attention. It prevents the contemplative lingering that is essential to narrating and careful listening . . . In the process of digitalization, . . . information acquires an altogether different status. Reality itself takes on the form of information and data. For the most part, we perceive reality in terms of information or through the lens of information. Information is an ideaâthat is, a re-representation. When reality takes the form of information, the immediate experience of presence withers. When digitalization gives everything the form of information, reality is flattened.
Byung-Chul Han, The Crisis of Narration
"Narrating and listening foster each other. The narrative community is a community of careful listeners. A particular kind of attention is inherent to careful listening. People who listen carefully are oblivious to themselves; they immerse themselves in what they hear: âThe more self-forgetful the listener is, the more deeply what he listens to is impressed upon his memoryâ(Benjamin). We are increasingly losing the gift to listen carefully. We play to the gallery; we eavesdrop on each other instead of forgetting ourselves and listening intensely."
Trouver, câest en grande partie savoir ce que lâon cherche.
Augustin
LâĂ©tude de la rĂ©alitĂ© du monde selon des mĂ©thodes scientifiques remplit et gouverne notre vie ; elle est, si lâon veut, notre mythe ; car nous nâen avons pas dâautre qui soit universellement valable.
Auerbach
â Je voudrais ĂȘtre la baleine, murmura-t-elle dans mon cou.
â Et vous, quâavez-vous fait ? â Oh, peu de chose, dis-je. Nous avons Ă©tĂ© voir la baleine.
Quand le chemin se fut dĂ©gagĂ©, et que la baie se dĂ©couvrit Ă nous, nous cherchĂąmes des yeux la baleine. Nous eĂ»mes quelque peine Ă la reconnaĂźtre dans ce trait insignifiant quâelle formait sur le sable maintenant Ă sec. Elle nous parut, cette fois, irrĂ©mĂ©diablement seule. Nous nâavions plus assez de courage pour supporter lâimage de sa dĂ©faite. Nous revĂźnmes, affligĂ©s tous deux, comme si nous avions vu tomber le dernier carrĂ© ; et nous Ă©tions sans force pour rĂ©pondre aux saluts vagues des pĂȘcheurs.
