Pablo Picasso - The Bull (State III-VI), 1945

Quote
"How I devour solitude! I shall smell a red rose; shall gently surge across the lawn, light a cigarette, take my writing board on my knee; and let myself down like a diver, very cautiously into the last sentence I wrote yesterday. Then perhaps after twenty minutes, or even more, I shall see a light in the depths of the sea, and stealthily approach — for one’s sentences are only an approximation, a net one flings over one sea pearl which may vanish; and if one brings it up it won’t be anything like what it was when I originally saw it, under the sea. Now these are the great excitements of life. Once I would have written this twice over; but now I can’t; It has to go, with its blood on its head. I have three days of solitude still. The others are packed with this damnable disease of seeing people. Please tell me what psychological necessity makes people to ‘go and see’ so-and so? I never do. Do they resent obscurely, the effort that I make to be alone?"

Virginia Woolf; from a letter to Ethel Smyth dated 28 September 1930 (via mirroir)

:: It is the still and silent sea that drowns a man
Quote
"O que Demian sabia sobre Deus e o Diabo, sobre o mundo oficialmente divino e o mundo demoníaco, era exatamente meu próprio pensamento, meu próprio mito, minha concepção dos dois mundos: o luminoso e o sombrio.
.
A descoberta de que o meu problema era um problema de todos os homens, um problema de toda a vida e de todo o pensamento, pairou sobre mim de súbito como uma sombra divina, e me senti penetrado de temeroso respeito ao perceber o quão profundamente minha própria vida e meu pensamento participavam da corrente eterna das grandes ideias.
.
Essa descoberta, feliz e satisfatória quanto ao confirmar as minhas concepções, não foi, contudo, um fato alegre. Era uma descoberta dura e tinha áspero sabor, pois trazia consigo um princípio de responsabilidade, um adeus definitivo à infância e um anúncio de solidão e isolamento."

— Demian — Hermann Hesse.
