Adventures of Barbarella

Karl

A mysterious collar arrived this morning.

I'm hanging this right at the entrance of my flat:

This to write down important things. (I am very forgetful)

This to communicate with my flatmate:



This is for our projects:

Paulo Coelho "El Vencedor está Solo"

Cito en español las frases que me llaman la atención de este libro que estoy leyendo y que quiero compartir con vosotros. Como el autor es portugués, compré la traducción española porque me pareció que se asemejaría más a la original que la inglesa.

El otro día en el avión me pasé las horas leyendo, y como no tenía boli, doblando las esquinas de las páginas cuando algo me hacía reaccionar, así que ahora desdoblo esquinas y tecleo:

"La experiencia me ha demostrado que la gente sólo da valor a algo cuando se les da la oportunidad de dudar si conseguirán o no lo que desean"

"El alma sufre, y sufre mucho, cuando la obligamos a vivir superficialmente. Al alma le gustan las cosas bellas y profundas"

"<<He destruido un mundo por tí, Katyusha>>"

"Eso es la verdadera sofisticación: saber qué es lo mejor aunque los demás no hayan oído jamás hablar de ello. Y hacer lo mejor aunque los demás pierdan el tiempo criticando"

"Otra pregunta: Es aceptable destruir mundos en nombre de un amor mayor?"

"Millonarios, gente que piensa que lo es, o gente que quiere serlo. (...) La gente que realmente lo es; esos son más amables: no tienen que demostrarle nada a nadie"

 

Un saludo a todos mis amigos hispanohablantes x

 

"If she had a weakness- it was Blood (…) "There is nothing so satisfactory to one! There is nothing that is so much one's beau-ideal of- (…) services, intellect (…) those are intangible points. Blood is not so. We see Blood in a nose, and we know it. We meet with it in a chin and we say " There it is! That's Blood"" (…) It admits of no doubt"

David Copperfield (Charles Dickens)

I'm sure this is not the paragraph that most people would quote, but it really stood out to me! such enthusiasm! Sure, the subject is aristocracy, but it makes you think of character, identity and superficiality at the same time...

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the common place, the slaves of the ordinary"

Cecil Beaton

"I hate people who dress as if they have a single personality. I want to show a man as a dandy in a suit and as a rocker in leather, highlight both sides of his personality" Boclet, Ungaro

Quote of the day

From Twitter:

squirefrick: They don't make women like @DitaVonTeese anymore. So beautiful and classy!

DitaVonTeese: True... Women like me make OURSELVES!

haha that is so true!

"Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected."

Oscar Wilde

Bus Stop

"I'm gonna marry an angel"
"you gotta be realistic. What's some "angel" gonna want to do with a...cowboy like you?"

So true

"Clothes make the man. 
Naked people have little or no influence on society”  
-- Mark Twain

Someone has been having tea at Liberty's again today...

'It's customary in good society to take a light refreshment at 5 o'clock'

Oscar Wilde

Justified.

"Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation."

Love

"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing."

-Anaïs Nin

carla bruni had an intelligent thought. Well, her grandmother did

as she quotes:

"A man always wants to be the first into the heart and the bed of a woman, whereas a woman would always want to be the last."

I can't verbalize how true that is and how much it hurts.

We all know the quote but i came across the actual writing today

"May my quivering lips taste the coolness of yours as the warmth of my eternal love enters you and stays with you forever"

Quote that refers to necrophilia.
