What Fassbinder film is it?

The one-armed Man walks into a flower shop and says: What flower expresses Days go by And they just keep going by endlessly Pulling you Into the future. Days go by Endlessly Endlessly pulling you Into the future. And the florist says: White Lily.

Houve uma altura em que acreditava que os lírios brancos tinham um significado

e os cantares dos pássaros de madrugada

acreditava que a euforia do odor a mar tinha um significado divino.

I love what I do. But I hate what it's doing to me (2)

Did I enter a Dark place, or did a Dark place found a door through me

.

I fear my self for being so not me

I Love what you do to me darling, but I fear us.

I want you not to want me anymore.

remember for ever what we could never have been.

I do love what I do. But I hate what it's doing to me.
I fear so much what we can do to our selves.

And as I watched from underneath
I came aware of all that she keep
The little foxes so safe and sound
They were not dead
They'd gone to ground
































The passion of lovers is for death said she

subordination to a rule and renunciation of acting on immediate impulse are the means to maximum pleasure.

Subjection to rule and renunciation of spontaneous impulsive action constitute the path to maximum pleasure in play

"Thus, the essential attribute of play is a rule has become an affect,
a concept that has turned into a passion”

Boa Ostara

Sol-monath dici potest mensis placentarum, quas in eo diis suis oflerebant; Rhed-monath a dea illorum Rheda, cui in illo sacrificabant, nominatur; Eostur-monath, qui nunc paschalis mensis interpretatur, quondam a dea illorum quae Eostre vocabatur, et cui in illo festa celebrabant, nomen habuit, a cujus nomine nunc paschale tempuscognominant; consueto antiquae observationis vocabulo gaudia novae
solemnitatis vocantes.



















Eosturmonath has a name which is now translated "Paschal month", and which was once called after a goddess of theirs named Eostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month. Now they designate that Paschal season by her name, calling the joys of the new rite by the time-honoured name of the old observance.'

Failure

I've worked hard all my life
Money slips through my hands
My face in the mirror tells me
It's no surprise that I'm
Pushing the stone up the hill
of failure

They tempt me with violence
They punish me with ideals
And they crush me with an image of my
life that's nothing but unreal
Except on the goddamned slaveship
of failure

I'll drown here trying
to get up for some air
But each time I think I breathe
I'm laid on with a double share
of the punishing burden
of failure

I don't deserve to be down here
But I'll never leave
And I've learned one thing
You can't escape the beast
In the null and void pit
of failure

When I get my hands on some money
I'll kiss it's green skin
And I'll ask it's dirty face
"Where the hell have you been?"
"I am the fuel that fires the engine
of failure."

I'll be old and broken down
I'll forget who and where I am
I'll be senile or forgotten
But I'll remember and understand
You can bank your hard-earned money
on failure

I saw my father crying
I saw my mother break her hand
On a wall that wouldn't weep
But that certainly held in
The mechanical moans of a dying man
Who was a failure

Inequality

When the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, when inequality grows, interclass cohesion decreases, causing a crisis that may lead to the collapse of the empire. Most empire collapse not because of external aggression but for internal reasons.

in Peter Turchin: "War and Peace and War" (2006)

Counter Nature

Without some totally revolutionary change in man’s attitude towards the mind, even his very tenure of the earth may come to be threatened...after all man will prove but one more of nature’s failures, ignominiously to be swept from her work-table to make way for another venture of her tireless curiosity and patience









































































































































































The various systems of doctrine that have held dominion over man have been demonstrated to be true beyond all question by rationalists of such power as Calvin and Hegel and Marx. Guided by these master hands the intellect has shown itself more deadly than cholera or bubonic plague and far more cruel.

Intemperie

Um relâmpago verde revelou em relance a altura insuspeita do céu. Outro clarão pôs uma àrvore antes invisível de súbito ao seu alcance. E para o abismo rolavam os trovões.
"Eu" - disse a mulher velha - "eu sou a rainha da natureza". "Ninguém no mundo jamais saberia" - o que alargou de repente a grande escuridão do campo e a mulher ficou perdida nele, nela, a trémula rainha da natureza.
Esse pensamento de segredo completo de que só a chuva partilhava deu-lhe prazer como se ela enfim tivesse feito algo além das suas forças humanas.
Estremeceu de alegria.
Com o vento molhado a noite bateu-lhe dura no rosto - a senhora recebeu com delícia o desconhecido pacto.
























“a Maçã no escuro” de Clarice Lispector

I
Quero fugir ao mistério. Para onde fugirei? Ele é a vida e a morte. Ó Dor, aonde me irei?
II
O mistério de tudo Aproxima-se tanto do meu ser, Chega aos olhos meus d'alma tão de perto, Que me dissolvo em trevas e universo...Em trevas me apavoro escuramente.
III
O perene mistério, que atravessa Como um suspiro céus e corações
