Two may talk together under the same roof for many years, yet never really meet; and two others at first speech are old friends.

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that true connection and understanding between individuals do not solely rely on the amount of time spent together. It suggests that it is possible for two people living together under the same roof to have little to no depth in their relationship, as they may never truly "meet" on a profound level. On the other hand, there are instances where two individuals instantly establish a deep bond and become close friends, even after just one conversation. It speaks to the unpredictable nature of relationships, emphasizing that time cannot guarantee genuine connection.

Jede Nacht ist fÃ¼r mich ein Song. Jeder Augenblick ist fÃ¼r

Jede Nacht ist fÃ¼r mich ein Song. Jeder Augenblick ist fÃ¼r mich ein Song. Aber diesmal ist alles anders. Und gleichzeitig spÃ¼re ich, dass das Leben von uns nicht nur in einem einzigen Song gelebt wird. Wir leben von Lied zu Lied, von Augenblick zu Augenblick, von Akkord zu Akkord. Das Leben ist mehr als der Soundtrack einer Nacht. Es ist ein unendlicher Soundtrack.

The public make use of the classics of a country as a means

The public make use of the classics of a country as a means of checking the progress of Art. They degrade the classics into authorities.... A fresh mode of Beauty is absolutely distasteful to them, and whenever it appears they get so angry and bewildered that they always use two stupid expressions--one is that the work of art is grossly unintelligible; the other, that the work of art is grossly immoral. What they mean by these words seems to me to be this. When they say a work is grossly unintelligible, they mean that the artist has said or made a beautiful thing that is new; when they describe a work as grossly immoral, they mean that the artist has said or made a beautiful thing that is true.
