Some say that art helps man to know the world like any other intellectual activity. I don't believe in this possibility of knowing, I am almost an agnostic. Knowledge distracts us from our main purpose in life. The more we know, getting deeper our horizon becomes narrower. Art enriches man's own spiritual capabilities, and he can then rise above himself.

― Andrei Tarkovsky

Mit ihr warst du in bösen Lagen,

/// Once you need less, you will have more.

A writer ― and, I believe, generally all persons ― must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art.

― Jorge Luis Borges

Helge Schneider als Alleinerbe Hitlers.

Bis 1952 wartete er vergebens, dass sein berühmter Großonkel ins Ausland nach kommt. Das Heimweh trieb ihn dann zurück nach Deutschland. Neffe zu sein, sagt er, ist kein Beruf. Dass er Alleinerbe ist, nutzt ihm nicht viel, denn der Onkel hat so gut wie nichts hinterlassen. Der Großneffe steht seinem Onkel kritisch gegenüber. Ich bin kein Nazi! Vor allem das sogenannte "politische" Testament, sagt Alfons Hitler-Bergedorf, ist mir unverständlich. Helge Schneider als Alfons Hitler-Bergedorf. Mit kurzen Musikeinlagen.

natsukashii

(adjective) A Japanese, untranslatable word, natsukashii is a beautiful feeling defined as a state of euphoric nostalgia. It is triggered by a fond memory, which causes a yearning or missing space in your heart. It is usually an emotion modified by an object, such as your old neighborhood, an old friend, or lover. Although nostalgia is usually correlated with a sense of melancholia, natsukashii is a sweet reminiscent that warms your heart.

Right on the edge of fear was where trust could grow.
