The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still. Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing -- where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your par

All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the House of Eorl and not a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death.

I've watched a lot of mid-career people, and Yogi Berra says

I've watched a lot of mid-career people, and Yogi Berra says you can observe a lot just by watching. I've concluded that most people enjoy learning and growing. And many are dearly troubled by the self-assessments of mid-career. Such self-assessments are no great problem at your age. You're young and moving up. The drama of your own rise is enough. But when you reach middle age, when your energies aren't what they used to be, then you'll begin to wonder what it all added up to; you'll begin to look for the figure in the carpet of your life. I have some simple advice for you when you begin that process. Don't be too hard on yourself. Look ahead. Someone said that Life is the art of drawing without an eraser. And above all don't imagine that the story is over. Life has a lot of chapters.

The analytic psychotherapist thus has a threefold battle to wage -- in his own mind against the forces which seek to drag him down from the analytic level; outside the analysis, against opponents who dispute the importance he attaches to the sexual instinctual forces and hinder him from making use of them in his scientific technique; and inside the analysis, against his patients, who at first behave like opponents but later on reveal the overvaluation of sexual life which dominates them, and who try to make him captive to their socially untamed passion.

victor hugo, Les Contemplations, MorsJe vis cette faucheuse.

victor hugo, Les Contemplations, MorsJe vis cette faucheuse. Elle Ã©tait dans son champ. Elle allait ? grands pas moissonnant et fauchant, Noir squelette laissant passer le crÃ©puscule. Dans l'ombre oÃ¹ l'on dirait que tout tremble et recule, L'homme suivait des yeux les lueurs de la faulx.Et les triomphateurs sous les arcs triomphaux Tombaient ; elle changeait en dÃ©sert Babylone, Le trÃ´ne en Ã©chafaud et l'Ã©chafaud en trÃ´ne, Les roses en fumier, les enfants en oiseaux,L'or en cendre, et les yeux des mÃ¨res en ruisseaux. Et les femmes criaient : - Rends-nous ce petit Ãªtre. Pour le faire mourir, pourquoi l'avoir fait naÃ®tre ? -Ce n'Ã©tait qu'un sanglot sur terre, en haut, en bas ; Des mains aux doigts osseux sortaient des noirs grabats ; Un vent froid bruissait dans les linceuls sans nombre ; Les peuples Ã©perdus semblaient sous la faulx sombre Un troupeau frissonnant qui dans l'ombre s'enfuit ; Tout Ã©tait sous ses pieds deuil, Ã©pouvante et nuit.DerriÃ¨re elle, le front baignÃ© de douces flammes, Un ange souriant portait la gerbe d'Ã¢mes.
