You may judge others only according to your knowledge of yourself. Tel me now, who among us is guilty and who is unguilty?
--Kahlil Gibran

 

La verdad tiene muy pocos amigos y los muy pocos amigos son suicidas.
--Antonio Porchia

 

Sie sang vom irdischen Jammertal, Von Freuden, die bald zerronnen, Vom Jenseits, wo die Seele schwelgt Verklärt in ew'gen Wonnen.

Sie sang das alte Entsagungslied, Das Eiapopeia vom Himmel, Womit man einlullt, wenn es greint, Das Volk, den großen Lümmel.

--Heinrich Heine

 

Elle chantait la vallée des larmes terrestres où toutes joies s'évanouissent, et l'au-delà, où l'âme transfigurée s'épanouit dans les béatitudes éternelles.

Elle chantait l'antique chant du renoncement, l'Eiapopeia du Ciel, avec lequel, quand il pleurniche, on berce le peuple, ce gros bêta.

--Heinrich Heine

 

She sang of this earthly vale of tears, Of pleasures that soon run dry; How the soul will feast on eternal joys —Transfigured in the sky.

She sang a heavenly lullaby, The song of renonciation By which the people, that giant clown, Is lulled from its lamentation.

--Heinrich Heine

 

What is known, I strip away.
--Walt Whitman
