mjf eloquentia

Notes taken at random from my readings and school times… Sometimes, things only make sense in their originally written Language or as we take the notes and so I’ll probably be blogging here in English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish, only sign what’s mine.

Hope – The less viable the more intense it is. (…) The hope of the impossible is the most intense hope. It is when it changes its name and it’s called despair.

Art – It could be that the pleasure of the so called  glory be necessary to the artist and therefore to Art as the sexual pleasure is necessary to love and hence to the species continuation.

Human Condition – It is of the Human Condition longing to know why what for what the sense of the things is. (…) And therefore the highest point of knowledge is to see that nothing in the Universe makes sense. And that that non-sense(d) (nâo-sentido) has the sense (sentido) of not to have it (at all but) as if it had it…

Questions – “Who tha f*** do you think you are?” – Brian, when I asked him for a 200 bucks raise in Juleps…

Angústia – “De vez em quando a angústia volta, e o alarme, e um pavor todavia calmo e obscuro. E aí, um prazer amargo e uma grande plenitude enche-me a alma.”

Amargura – “Dor, amargura, melancolia. Quantas formas de se ser vencido no que desejávamos…”

Idéia – Se uma idéia nos atinge é porque coube no nosso molde…

Morte – Morte, podes vir. Não faças cerimónias. Mas sê educada e não me maces muito!

Emptiness – “(…) Confused idea that the Truth is at the end. But at the end is (only) emptines…”

Envy – Envy is a solitary act. In group is (already) hate. Because envy is an hate we do not dare…

Sea – In the cosmic silence of the Earth, (it) he used to speak to no one.

Saber – Porque é que o saber é bom?…

Solidão – A Arte nasce de uma solidão e dirige-se a outra…

To see – Everything has its superficial side and its profound side, the visible and the invisible, the imediate reality and the other (…)

Unrealism – (How) strange… (But) so is the paradox of that human faculty that is our stigma and our sublimity.

Metaphysic – Metaphysic is therefore of our (human) condition. Of our excess(es).

Sabedoria – “Não penses que a sabedoria é feita do que se acumulou (…) apenas do que nos resta depois do que se deitou fora”.

Time – Love knows it! And the Artwork. And everything that transcends us beyond everything and that is its intemporality.

Sōliloquium
