I love the smell of napalm in the morning... smells like victory


"You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smells like … victory." 



Atenção, isto é metafórico... a guerra imperialista capitalista-cristã do Vietname foi uma derrota da civilização. Mas nem todas as guerras são más, claro. Aliás todas as guerras contra os "bárbaros" são boas. Exemplos? Hum... olha, a guerra contra os tubarões da máfia que corrompem o Estado e a sociedade, por exemplo. É engraçado como tubarões mortos não parecem tão temíveis.

"Up to nowadays, LIBERA has promoted trainings for an education to legality and democracy that involved 8.000 teachers and almost 800.000 students, starting from primary school, as it's basilar to form the children to respect and to peace.
Moreover, the training in primary schools can involve also the children of the mafia families, or of families living in a mafia environment proposing them values in opposition to those they are used to inside their families, where mostly mothers are guardians of mafia disvalues; the children can become the messengers of positive inputs inside their own family."

“I’ve often wondered why more science textbooks don’t tell teenagers that the only thing sharks like to eat more than fish, are dead prostitutes.” ― Jarod Kintz, There are Two Typos of People in This World: Those Who Can Edit and Those Who Can't

“My wish is to ride the tempest, tame the waves, kill the sharks. I will not resign myself to the usual lot of women who bow their heads and become concubines.” ― Trieu Thi Choi

“Guys can smell desperation. It triggers an instinct in them to run far and fast so they aren't around when a woman starts peeling apart her heart. They know she'll ask for help in putting it back together the right way - intact and beating correctly - and they dread the thought of puzzling over layers that they can't understand, let alone rebuild. They'd rather just not get blood on their hands. But sharks are different. They smell the blood of desperation and circle in. They whisper into a girl's ear, "I'll make it better. I'll make you forget all about your pain." Sharks do this by eating your heart, but they never mention this beforehand. That is the thing about sharks.” ― Janette Rallison, My Fair Godmother

“Did you know that mako shark fetuses eat each other in the womb?... Its true. Only cannibal fetuses survive to be born. Can you imagine if people were like that?” ― Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke & Bone

Olha a ironia: agora vou ser um "local hero" capitalista... ahah

Pois, um gajo consegue ter uma eficácia de 100% e ajuda uma proprietária a vender uma penthouse em tempo record e só por isso já se está mesmo a ver que terá de ir ao palco daqui a uns tempos... acho que vou arranjar uma desculpa qualquer... malta, please, eu sou mais do tipo filósofo eremita! Bem, se tiver mesmo de ir, num momento contraditório e para me inspirar, vou pensar no(a) proprietário(a) (ou comprador(a) ou arrendatário(a)) mais contraditório(a) que conhecer. Deixa cá ver... hum...


"The essence of humanity's spiritual dilemma is that we evolved genetically to accept one truth and discovered another. Is there a way to erase the dilemma, to resolve the contradictions between the transcendentalist and the empiricist world views?" E. O. Wilson

  
"Contradiction and struggle are universal and absolute, but the methods of resolving contradictions, that is, the forms of struggle, differ according to the differences in the nature of the contradictions. Some contradictions are characterized by open antagonism, others are not. In accordance with the concrete development of things, some contradictions which were originally non-antagonistic develop into antagonistic ones, while others which were originally antagonistic develop into non-antagonistic ones."
"The only way to settle questions of an ideological nature or controversial issues among the people is by the democratic method, the method of discussion, of criticism, of persuasion and education, and not by the method of coercion or repression."
Mao Zedong "On Contradiction" (August 1937), Selected Works

Blogue que é Blogue faz concorrência à SIC


Blogue que é Blogue com "B" grande faz concorrência à SIC do Dr. Balsemão e ao filme "A Bíblia" que passa ainda, a esta hora, naquele canal.

Assim, é com prazer que vos anuncio a emissão neste blogue de um filme adequado a este santo dia, iluminado que fui, de repente, por um espírito de profundo respeito e tolerância religiosa.

She was artificial but a very human person




"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."

Lao Zi*



* "Lao Zi (em chinês: 老子, transl. Lǎozi - pronunciado como Láu‑tz, em mandarim) também escrito Laozi, Lao Tzu, Lao Tsé, Láucio, Lao Tzi, Lao Tseu ou Lao Tze (Wade-Giles), foi um famoso filósofo e alquimista chinês. A sua imagem mais conhecida representa-o sobre um búfaloO processo de domesticação deste animal é associado ao caminho da iluminação nas tradições zen budistas. A ele é atribuída a autoria de uma das obras fundamentais do taoísmo: o Tao Te Ching (道德經). A influência deste livro é tão disseminada que se tornou na atualidade um dos livros mais traduzidos em todo o mundo. Alguns consideram Lao Zi um personagem mítico, no limiar das lendas. Uma destas lendas conta que ele nasceu com a aparência de um velho, por isto teria recebido este nome ("Lao Zi" significa literalmente "velho mestre")."

Pesadelo de pedra viva


XVIII

(Legenda escrita com sangue num Muro de protesto.)


«Fecharam-me na pedra viva deste Pesadelo…
─  mas ergui-me a cantar do tamanho da treva!

Sim, a cantar,

Eu, o homem que não tenho medo do universo vazio
e ando a encher as estrelas e os mundos
 da chama do meu frio.»

Love, sex, friendship and a light movie


“Maybe you could be mine / or maybe we’ll be entwined / aimless in this sexless foreplay.”

― Jess C. Scott, EyeLeash: A Blog Novel


 
 
“But when a woman decides to sleep with a man, there is no wall she will not scale, no fortress she will not destroy, no moral consideration she will not ignore at its very root: there is no god worth worrying about.”

― Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera
 
 
“You cold or something?' he said. She strained against him; she wanted to pass clear through him: 'It's a chill, it's nothing'; and then, pushing a little away: 'Say you love me.'
I said it.'
'No, oh no. You haven't. I was listening. And you never do.'
'Well, give me time.'
'Please.'

He sat up and glanced at a clock across the room. It was after five. Then decisively he pulled off his windbreaker and began to unlace his shoes.

'Aren't you going to, Clyde?'
He grinned back at her. 'Yeah, I'm going to.'
'I don't mean that; and what's more, I don't like it: you sound as though you were talking to a whore.'
'Come off it, honey. You didn't drag me up here to tell you about love.'
'You disgust me,' she said.
'Listen to her! She's sore!'

A silence followed that circulated like an aggrieved bird. Clyde said, 'You want to hit me, huh? I kind of like you when you're sore: that's the kind of girl you are,' which made Grady light in his arms when he lifted and kissed her. 'You still want me to say it?' Her head slumped on his shoulder. 'Because I will,' he said, fooling his fingers in her hair. 'Take off your clothes--and I'll tell it to you good.”

― Truman Capote, Summer Crossing

"Why is there so much human suffering?"


"Look, here's my point. If nothing lasts, why am I bothering to make films or do anything for that matter? (...) I've gotta find meaning!"

RUBY SPARKS (2012) - realizado por Jonathan Dayton


Que homem não gostaria que uma Ruby Sparks lhe aparecesse no sofá?
Embora eu ache que a coisa se tornaria monótona passado um tempo... é que a imprevisibilidade das mulheres é fascinante e desafiadora. Sexy.

"Calvin (Dano) is a young novelist who achieved phenomenal success early in his career but is now struggling with his writing - as well as his romantic life. Finally, he makes a breakthrough and creates a character named Ruby who inspires him. When Calvin finds Ruby (Kazan), in the flesh, sitting on his couch about a week later, he is completely flabbergasted that his words have turned into a living, breathing person."

Unlimited opportunities


"The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited."

Batman - The Dark Knight Rises


Batman, o Cavaleiro das Trevas, ressurge, para continuar a combater os vilões.
Estreia prevista para Portugal no dia 2 de Agosto.

Mas pergunto eu:
What is "bad", "evil"? Why was Joker an evil character? 
For me, evil are all those who lost the Will to Improve.

To improve in knowledge, strength, beauty. To improve civilization.

"Civilization: An advanced state of intellectual, cultural, and material development in human society, marked by progress in the arts and sciences, the extensive use of record-keeping, including writing, and the appearance of complex political and social institutions." Aqui



"No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from." George Eliot

"This is the very worst wickedness, that we refuse to acknowledge the passionate evil that is in us. This makes us secret and rotten." David Herbert Lawrence

"Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table." W. H. Auden
