Wislawa Szymborska | I'm working on the world / Progetto un mondo

Progetto un mondo,
nuova edizione, riveduta,
per gli idioti, ché ridano,
per i malinconici, ché piangano,
per i calvi, ché si pettinino,
per i sordi, ché gli parlino.

Wislawa Szymborska | A few words on the soul / Qualche parola sull'anima

We have a soul at times.
No one's got it non-stop,
for keeps.

Day after day,
year after year
may pass without it.

Marc Chagall | Deux tetes

Mahatma Gandhi: "Occhio per occhio ed il mondo diventa cieco"!

Sii il cambiamento che vuoi vedere nel mondo.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Occhio per occhio e il mondo diventa cieco.
An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

Le pagine della storia del mondo sono tutte lordate dai sanguinosi racconti delle guerre di religione. Solo con la purezza e le buone azioni dei seguaci si può difendere la religione, mai con la contrapposizione a chi professa altre fedi.

Julie Delance-Feurgard (1859-1892)

Julie Delance-Feurgard was a student at the Académie Julian, where she became close friends with fellow artist Louise Breslau, who painted a portrait of her (now at the Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne in Switzerland).
She exhibited at the Salon between 1880-1888, earning honorable mentions for her work there and at the 1889 Exposition Universelle.
Her work received positive attention from critics. She married one of her teachers, Paul-Louis Delance, in 1886, and continued her career, which was cut short by her untimely death in 1892. | Source: © The Clark Art Institute
