one day

If people just took it a day at a time, 

they'd be a lot happier.

the beauty of life

As I came up the mountain, out of the misty valley into the sun. 

The fire on the cattle range, the potatoes in the ashes, 

the boathouse floating in the lake. The Southern Cross. (…)

The Far East. The Great North. The Wild West. The Great Bear Lake. 

Tristan da Cunha. The Mississippi Delta. Stromboli. 

The old houses of Charlottenburg. Albert Camus. The morning light. 

The child's eyes. The swim in the waterfall. The spots of the first drops of rain. 

The sun. The bread and wine. Hopping. Easter. 

The veins of leaves. The blowing grass. The colour of stones.

The pebbles on the stream's bed. The white tablecloth outdoors. 

The dream of the house in the house. The dear one asleep in the next room. 

The peaceful Sundays. The horizon. 

The light from the room in the garden. The night flight. 

Riding a bicycle with no hands. The beautiful stranger. 

My father. My mother. My wife. My child.

about writing

A man writes because he is tormented

because he doubts. 

He needs to constantly prove to himself and the others 

that he's worth something. 

And if I know for sure that I'm a genius? Why write then? 

What the hell for?

strength and weakness

Let everything that's been planned come true. Let them believe.

 And let them have a laugh at their passions. 

Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, 

but just the friction 

between their souls and the outside world. 

And most important, let them believe in themselves. 

Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, 

and strength is nothing. 

When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. 

When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. 

When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant. 

But when it's dry and hard, it dies. 

Hardness and strength are death's companions. 

Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. 

Because what has hardened 

will never win.
