WIST Quotations

A quotation from Orwell

Swift falsifies his picture of the world by refusing to see anything in human life except dirt, folly and wickedness, but the part which he abstracts from the whole does exist, and it is something which we all know about while shrinking from mentioning it. Part of our minds — in any normal person it is the dominant part — believes that man is a noble animal and life is worth living: but there is also a sort of inner self which at least intermittently stands aghast at the horror of existence.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1946-09), “Politics vs. Literature: An Examination of Gulliver’s Travels,” Polemic, No. 5

A quotation from Chamfort

There are more fools than wise men, and even in the wise there is more folly than wisdom.
 
[Il y a plus de fous que de sages, et dans le sage même, il y a plus de folie que de sagesse.]

Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 2, ¶ 149 (1795) [tr. Merwin (1969)]

🧵
> For human nature is such that sorrows and sufferings simultaneously endured do not add up to a whole in our consciousness but hide, the lesser behind the greater, according to a definite law of perspective... when this most immediate cause of unhappiness comes to an end, we are painfully surprised to see that behind it lies another one, and in reality a whole series of other ones...

"Uma fusão entre humano e natureza. O rosto emerge entre galhos retorcidos, alguns ainda vivos, outros secos pelo tempo. O olhar fixo e os lábios entreabertos carregam uma ambiguidade: surpresa, melancolia ou transformação? O fundo azul profundo contrasta com os tons avermelhados na base, criando uma atmosfera de serenidade e inquietação. Um instante capturado de um mundo próprio.

🎨 Arte por mim.

"A fusion between human and nature. The face emerges from among twisted branches, some still alive, others dried by time. The fixed gaze and the parted lips carry an ambiguity: surprise, melancholy or transformation? The deep blue background contrasts with the reddish tones at the base, creating an atmosphere of serenity and restlessness. A captured moment from a world of its own.
