IMAGE: The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing--to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts. Not a select party.

知性を強化する唯一の方法は、取捨選択しないこと、心を全思考の通り道として開放してやることだ。関所を設けるな。 – ジョン・キーツ (1795 – 1821): 「キーツの手紙」（フレデリック・ペイジ編） More »

IMAGE: Everyone seems to think that life is cumulative. On the contrary, I think it should be unloaded. The more wealth and knowledge one accumulates, the more freedom one loses. If you stick to the accumulation of the past, you will be buried in the sediment before you know it and you will not be able to move. To challenge life and truly live, you must be reborn moment by moment and open your destiny. To do so, you must have nothing and be unconditional in mind and body. The more you throw away, the thicker and purer your life becomes.

人生は積み重ねだと誰でも思っているようだ。ぼくは逆に、積みへらすべきだと思う。財産も知識も、蓄えれば蓄えるほど、かえって人間は自在さを失ってしまう。過去の蓄積にこだわると、いつの間にか堆積物に埋もれて身動きができなくなる。人生に挑み、本当に生きるには、瞬間瞬間に新しく生まれかわって運命をひらくのだ。それには心身とも無一物、無条件でなければならない。捨てれば捨てるほど、いのちは分厚く、純粋にふくらんでくる。 – 岡本太郎 (1911 – 1996): 『自分の中に毒を持て』 (Ninel_SによるPixabayからの画像) (Google Translateのエンジンを使用した、Sound of Textによるテキスト読み上げ) More »

IMAGE: "May I play something of yours now?" I asked cheekily. Beethoven nodded with a smile. I played the first movement of the C Major Concerto. When I had ended, Beethoven seized both my hands, kissed me on the forehead and said gently: "Off with you! You're a happy fellow, for you'll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that!"

「何かあなたの曲を今弾いてもいいですか？」と、生意気にも私は尋ねた。ベートーヴェンは笑顔でうなずいた。私はハ長調協奏曲の第一楽章を弾いた。弾き終わると、ベートーヴェンは私の両手をつかみ、額にキスをし、優しく言った。「行きなさい！　おまえは幸せな同士だ、他の多くの人々に幸せと喜びを与えるのだからね。それ以上のものはない！」 – フランツ・リスト［リスト・フェレンツ］ (1811 – 1886) / (ルートヴィヒ・ヴァン・ベートーヴェン［ベートーベン］ (1770 – 1827)との1823年の対面で) (Jolanta DyrによるPixabayからの画像) (Google Translateのエンジンを使用した、Sound of Textによるテキスト読み上げ) More »
