If

one had the courage to be or to imagine.


Would you as easily pass judgement...

Categorical Thinking

A concept that feels so wrong to me especially if it discharges itself on an individual when a person is solely seen as the representative of a certain category/ group.

Paradox

If your perspective on human relationships is solely set in a realm of functionality, they are prone to grow dysfunctional.

Honeybee

Certainly not the time for bees now. Yet, my sweet little one, what were you doing outside this afternoon.

Spiegel - Mirror




Would you open mindedly and truly accept the blunt image the  mirror is offering you?

Work

the unexpected

as the tiny fragments of chalk on the brush won't allow the watercolours to soak the paper everywhere

Modern Dependence

The best way to keep people from having ideas is to have them connected to a constant flow of information.

Vitality





like a storm on the barren land - a natural force with all its inherent hazard

Kunst kommt von Kennen

  - und nicht unbedingt von Können


Art stems from knowing - and not necessarily from ability.

Of Note































Much more interesting than the delineation is the crossing, the disclosure, the space of communion.

A Question of Standards

or merit

Is diving down to fetch a ring from a depth of two meters actually the same as twice diving down one meter to fetch a ring?!

Snatch

All the things stolen were just a Mercedes Star and a bike light - pretty modest thieves apparently not takin more than they actually needed or desired.

Considerate






















Wenn Du vor mir stehst und mich ansiehst, was weißt Du von den Schmerzen, die in mir sind und was weiß ich von Deinen. Und wenn ich mich vor Dir niederwerfen würde und weinen und erzählen, was wüßtest Du von mir mehr als von der Hölle, wenn Dir jemand erzählt, sie ist heiß und fürchterlich. Schon darum sollten wir Menschen voreinander so ehrfürchtig, so nachdenklich, so liebend stehn wie vor dem Eingang zur Hölle. - Franz Kafka, Brief an Oskar Pollak, 8.11.1903

When you stand in front of me and look at me, what do you know of the pain inside of me or I of yours. And if I would throw myself down in front of you and would cry and narrate, what more would you know of me than of hell, if somebody were to tell you, it is hot and terrible. At least therefore we human beings should stand in front of each other as reverent, as thoughtful, as loving as at the gates of Hell. Franz Kafka, letter to Oskar Pollak, November 8th, 1903

Steadfast

All this lovely disturbances in the routine: Like being asked if you are buying Grüner Veltliner for New Year's Eve, or random people stopping and telling about the fact that they wore not warm enough clothes the day before although the wife had been warning them...

Tell me!

Liberty

In my dreams all those ghosts live in one big house and they are having fun finally enjoying the liberty to be themselves.

Playful


























Just wondering who wouldn`t think these lines profound - especially nowadays.

"Mickey Mouse is dead
Got kicked in the head
'Cause people got too serious
They planned out what they said They couldn't take the fantasy
They tried to accept reality
Analyzed the laughs
Cos pleasure comes in halves

The purity of comedy
They had to take it seriously Changed the words around
Tried to make it look profound
The comedian is on stage
Pisstaking for a wage
The critics think he's great
But the laughter turns to hate."

All this solidity is but dead unless it has got the flow down to the guts

Experience
