WIST Quotations

A quotation from Victor Hugo

But those who do not welcome the future should consider this: in denying progress it is not the future that they condemn, but themselves. They are inoculating themselves with a fatal disease, the past. There is only one way of denying tomorrow, and that is to die.
 
[Mais que ceux qui ne veulent pas de l’avenir y réfléchissent. En disant non au progrès, ce n’est point l’avenir qu’ils condamnent, c’est eux—mêmes. Ils se donnent une maladie sombre; ils s’inoculent le passé. Il n’y a qu’une manière de refuser Demain, c’est de mourir.]

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
Les Misérables, Part 4 “St. Denis,” Book 7 “Argot,” ch. 4 (4.7.4) (1862) [tr. Denny (1976)]

#Remorse Is Holding You Back

buddhistdoor.net/features/remo

#Regret often stems from a desire to escape future punishment or #negative consequences. It is rooted in #selfpreservation; an instinctive reaction to the fear of #repercussions that might arise from our #past actions. Remorse centers on acknowledging the hurtful impact that our actions may have had on others. It is a more profound, empathetic response that arises from a place of compassion and understanding.

„Roma, Roma, Roma
Core de 'sta città
Unico grande amore“

It‘s saturday. So let’s put some Rome in our hearts. The Spanish Steps, somewhat in the mid 70ties…

It’s an old slide I put on an old iPad 1. Than I photographed it with an old Nikon Makro on a Sony Alpha.

Sounds complicated, in fact it is an easy and cheap way to digitize old slides.
