"To be loved like that makes all the difference. It does not lessen the terror of the fall, but it gives a new perspective on what that terror means. I had jumped off the edge, and then, at the very last moment, something reached out and caught me in midair. That something is what I define as love. It is the one thing that can stop a man from falling, the one thing powerful enough to negate the laws of gravity." Paul Auster (Moon Palace)

Pensamentos 1, sobre a atenção
A infelicidade é simultaneamente causa e efeito da falta de atenção. A incapacidade de estar presente plenamente no aqui e agora é o resultado da infelicidade que resulta do carácter penoso das circunstâncias do aqui e agora. Por sua vez, a falta de atenção aumenta ainda mais a probabilidade de as circunstâncias exteriores e interiores gerarem situações penosas.

Dag Hammarskjöld, "Markings", p. 113
"(...) without the humility and warmth which you have to develop in your
relations to the few with whom you are personally involved, you will
never be able to do anything for the many. Without them, you will live
in a world of abstractions, where your solipsism, your greed for power,
and your death-wish lack the one opponent which is stronger than they —
love."Thursday, December 8, 2022
