Quote by Patrick Süskind

“Ka një fuqi bindëse aroma, e cila është më e madhe sesa fjalët, sesa pamja e jashtme, sesa ndjenja e dëshira. Fuqia bindëse e aromës nuk kundërshtohet dot, ajo futet brenda nesh ashtu si ajri në mushkëritë tona; ajo na mbush, na ngop plotësisht; kundër saj nuk ekziston asnjë mjet.”

“Il eut soudain envie d'abandonner ses projets, de sortir dans la nuit et de partir. Il allait traverser les montagnes enneigées, sans s'arrêter, et parcourir les cents lieus qui le séparaient de l'Auvergne, et là-bas se réfugier dans sa vieille caverne et s'y endormir pour ne jamais se réveiller. Mais il n'en fit rien. Il resta assis et ne céda pas, parce que c'était chez lui une envie ancienne, de partir et de se réfugier dans sa caverne. Il connaissait cela. Ce qu'en revanche il ne connaissait pas encore, c'était de posséder un parfum humain, aussi magnifique que le parfum de la jeune fille derrière le mur. Et quoiqu'il sût devoir payer cruellement la possession de ce parfum de sa perte ultérieure, cette possession et cette perte lui parurent plus désirables que de renoncer abruptement à l'une comme à l'autre. Car il avait passé sa vie à renoncer. Tandis que jamais encore il n'avait possédé et perdu.”

“Mastery is not a function of genius or talent. It is a function of time and intense focus applied to a particular field of knowledge. But there is another element, an X factor that Masters inevitably possess, that seems mystical but that is accessible to us all. Whatever field of activity we are involved in, there is generally an accepted path to the top. It is a path that others followed, and because we are conformist creatures, most of us opt for this conventional route. But Masters have a strong inner guiding system and a high level of self-awareness. What has suited others in the past does not suit them, and they know that trying to fit into a conventional mold would only lead to a dampening of spirit, the reality they seek eluding them. And so inevitably, these Masters, as they progress on their career paths, make a choice at a key moment in their lives: they decide to forge their own route, one that others will see as unconventional, but that suits their own spirit and rhythms and leads them closer to discovering the hidden truths of their objects of study. This key choice takes self-confidence and self-awarenes–the X factor that is necessary for attaining mastery...”

“Living on the verge is not about doing more, but about being more. It isn’t about achieving more; it’s about experiencing more. It’s not about being someone different, as there ’s no “better version of you” on the horizon. Everything you’re searching for is available to you in this moment. Everything you need is right here on the verge.”
