Un meme sympa, pour une fois (via kottke) : aller sur cette page de citations aléatoires et la recharger jusqu’à en avoir extrait cinq passages qui vous parlent ou vous ressemblent :
« I am going to concentrate on what’s important in life. I’m going to strive everyday to be a kind and generous and loving person. I’m going to keep death right here, so that anytime I even think about getting angry at you or anybody else, I’ll see death and I’ll remember. »
— Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Do The Right Thing, 1992« Say all you have to say in the fewest possible words, or your reader will be sure to skip them; and in the plainest possible words or he will certainly misunderstand them. »
— John Ruskin (1819 – 1900)« One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one’s work is terribly important. »
— Bertrand Russell (1872 – 1970), Conquest of Happiness (1930) ch. 5« He who postpones the hour of living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses. »
— Horace (65 BC – 8 BC)« I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself. »
— Marlene Dietrich (1901 – 1992)
Et en bonus :
« As a scientist, I am not sure anymore that life can be reduced to a class struggle, to dialectical materialism, or any set of formulas. Life is spontaneous and it is unpredictable, it is magical. I think that we have struggled so hard with the tangible that we have forgotten the intangible. »
— Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Zarya, 1994
