Quote by J R R Tolkien

“Uno di questi doni di libertà consiste nel fatto che i figli degli Uomini abitano solo per breve tempo nel mondo vivente e che non sono vincolati a esso, e che lo lasciano presto, per andare dove gli Elfi non sanno.”

“Consciousness is the opposite of indifference, of blindness, blankness. Promoting consciousness involves the general dissemination of the concept that each of us in part of a universal action and interaction; that poles are somewhere connected; that there are material causes for trauma, vertigo, degenerative disease. Connections, connections, cause and effect, clarity on their relation and interrelations, the connection with the past, continuity, flow, movement, the awareness that nothing, nothing remains the same for long. And it follows that if a thing is not building, it is certainly decaying – that life is revolution – and that the world will die if we don’t read and act out its imperatives. Not on its own will it die, but rather because the forces of reaction have created imbalances that will kill it: “The seeds of its own destruction.” Our destruction too – the epoch of the Bomb, the nerve gases, the massive precipitation of industrial wastes. Consciousness is knowledge, recognition, foresight; common experience and perception; sensibility, alertness, mindfulness. It stirs the senses, the blood, it exposes and suggests; it will objectify, enrage direct. There are no positive formulas for a thing so complex. We have guidelines only to help us with its growth. This means after we are done with our books, they must be put aside; and the search for method will depend on observations, correct analyses, creativity, and seizing the time.” – George L. Jackson Blood in My Eye (pages 22-23)”

“He who seeks may go astray. All solitude is sin/ says the herd. And long were you yourself of the herd. The voice of the herd still lingers in you, and when you shall say: ‘I no longer have a common conscience with them’, it shall be a grief and pain to you. You call yourself free? I would hear of your master-thought, not of your escape from the yoke. Are you a man that should escape from the yoke? Many have cast off all their values when they cast off their servitude. Free from what? How does that concern Zarathustra? Let your eye answer me frankly: Free for what? ... a day will come when loneliness shall weary you, when your pride shall writhe and your courage gnash its teeth. In that day you shall cry: I am alone. A day will come when you shall see your high things no more, and your low things all too near; you shall fear your exaltation as if it were a phantom. In that day you will cry: All is false. There are emotions that seek to slay the solitary; if they don’t succeed they must perish themselves. Are you able to be a murderer?”
