What transpires between those two who have fallen in love with each other? They drop their egos - at least for each other. They drop their hypocrisies, their masks. They want to be together, almost one soul within two bodies. That's the desire of love. ^ °

Love: A Natural Kind of Meditation

It is true we love life; not because we are wont to live, but because we are wont to love. There is always some madness in love. But there is always, also, some method in madness. °

Thus spoke Zarathustra, part 1, ch. 7

"Competitive strategy is about being different. It means deliberately choosing a different set of activities to deliver a unique mix of value." * ^ °

« What's called now the children literature goes back to the beginning of the 19th century. Before then Märchen (fable in German) had already existed, but it was not only for children: Fables were more significant than today and both children and adults lived in the fables' world. But the modern intellectualism began to exclude all the traditional European spirituality, and expelled all the personifying world view with the flamboyant passion, making the whole world literally unhumanistic »

« I believe a totally different science is now being needed. One that can enrich again the Civilization Desert, one that makes our Reservation redundant… one that gets over the intellectualism not by the 'irrationality' but analyzing and seeing its self-contradiction and that gets people back to the experiences' field by realistic, or experienceable thinking »

« In short the whole world consists of energy and matters, and there's no difference between human beings and matters. Things like souls don't exist at all and concepts like liberty, dignity, beauty and humor are nothing but fantasies. This idea incited something that inevitably dismantle us » ^ °

Michael Ende, "Einstein Roman 6: Ende's Civilization Desert"

Affinché l’arte possa esplicare il suo potere salvifico, è necessario credere - come "naturalmente" crede il bambino - "che il poetico del mondo non sia tutto favola" (Il Parini ovvero della gloria, cap. 4, in Operette morali).

Solo chi - come Leopardi e Nietzsche - ha imparato a volare, grazie alle fragili e fantasiose ali dell’illusorietà, sopra la tragica realtà del mondo, sa affrontare con amore e con l’intrepidezza gioiosa che è del gioco infantile, il deserto della vita. ^ °

Tutto il messaggio di Zarathustra è che egli si allontana dagli uomini poichè li ama troppo per stare con loro. ^ °

Estrema regolarità caratterizza il suicidio anche per quanto riguarda la sua distribuzione nei vari mesi dell'anno: ogni mese si uccide circa l'8% delle vittime dell'anno, con la sola eccezione dei mesi estivi di luglio ed agosto nei quali la percentuale sale di solito al 10%. ^ °

cercando distribuzione + suicidio + mesi + anno °

"yes, I felt it too some days ago... the spring in the air. But this time it made me feel more sick; I thougth that then will come summer, and I'll not be with her."
