“ibant obscuri sola sub nocte per umbram”

“O my soul, do not aspire to immortal life,
but exhaust the limits of the possible.”
― Pindar

“There is no document of civilization that is not at the same time a document of barbarism.”

“One sometimes clings tightly to pain, to bitter home-sickness and bitter regret, but one forgets one's guilt; in vain, you might think back to the beginning (who led me this far?). If only you were allowed to accuse once more, turn to others once more, love once more! You plunge into the wide, ocean-like hallucination, you have faith and pray, and forget your dark fear when you gaze into the face of your beloved. But how should one fight it?”
― Annemarie Schwarzenbach, Morte na Pérsia
