Gestern habe ich im Brustkrebs-Forum folgendes Statement der französischen Schriftstellerin Françoise Sagan gefunden:
"Aus einem tiefen Weltschmerz reißt uns zuweilen sehr wohltätig ein kleines Alltagsärgernis."
Dem kann ich nach den Erfahrungen der vergangenen Wochen und Monate nur zustimmen. Die Scherben eines zerbrochenen Glases relativieren manchmal auf heilsame Weise die schleichende Verzweiflung über die Unwägbarkeiten des eigenen Daseins und über den Lauf der Welt überhaupt ...
Thought of the Day:
No greater mistake can be made than to think that our institutions are fixed or may not be changed for the worse. ... Increasing prosperity tends to breed indifference and to corrupt moral soundness. Glaring inequalities in condition create discontent and strain the democratic relation. The vicious are the willing, and the ignorant are unconscious instruments of political artifice. Selfishness and demagoguery take advantage of liberty. The selfish hand constantly seeks to control government, and every increase of governmental power, even to meet just needs, furnishes opportunity for abuse and stimulates the effort to bend it to improper uses. ... The peril of this nation is not in any foreign foe! We, the people, are its power, its peril, and its hope! -Charles Evans Hughes, jurist and statesman (11 Apr 1862-1948)
