Acerca de chopin

"Antes do funeral de Chopin, de acordo com seu desejo ao morrer, seu coração foi retirado devido a seu medo de ser enterrado vivo. Ele foi posto por sua irmã em uma urna de cristal selada, com Cognac, destinada a Varsóvia. O coração permanece até hoje lacrado dentro de um pilar da Igreja da Santa Cruz (Kościół Świętego Krzyża) em Krakowskie Przedmieście, debaixo de uma inscrição do Evangelho de Mateus, 6:21: "onde seu tesouro está, estará também seu coração". Curiosamente, seria salvo da destruição de Varsóvia pelos nazis, em 1944, pelo general das SS, Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski. "

The Third Letter...

Good morning, on July 7

Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can live only wholly with you or not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits - Yes, unhappily it must be so - You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - At my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once - Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

ever thine

ever mine

ever ours


letters to IMMORTAL BELOVED-Beethoven
"The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.”

Citação por Ben Okri ( Nigerian poet) na série " criminal minds"

A quote for life...

“Only those who truly love and who are truly strong can sustain their lives as a dream. You dwell in your own enchantment. Life throws stones at you, but your love and your dream change those stones into the flowers of discovery. Even if you lose, or are defeated by things, your triumph will always be exemplary. And if no one knows it, then there are places that do. People like you enrich the dreams of the worlds, and it is dreams that create history. People like you are unknowing transformers of things, protected by your own fairy-tale, by love.”

Ben Okri ( Nigerian poet and novelist)

Hoje ouvi este poema e fiquei a pensar .....

No meio do caminho tinha uma pedra
tinha uma pedra no meio do caminho
tinha uma pedra
no meio do caminho tinha uma pedra.
Nunca me esquecerei desse acontecimento
na vida de minhas retinas tão fatigadas.
Nunca me esquecerei que no meio do caminho
tinha uma pedra
tinha uma pedra no meio do caminho
no meio do caminho tinha uma pedra.


Carlos Drummond de Andrade
"The man who never makes a mistake always takes orders from one who does. No man or woman who tries to pursue an ideal in his or her own way is without enemies."

Daisy Bates quotation in "criminal mind"

Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.

quotation by G. K. Chesterton in "Criminal minds"
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

Eleanor Roosevelt - in serie "Criminal minds"
" É o fotógrafo a valorizar o existente e a eternizar o instante ."



Michelle Jean de Castro- Curadora acerca da exposição de Oscar Niemeyer

100 anos e obras perfeitas ...

"Não é o ângulo reto que me atrai, nem a linha reta, dura, inflexível, criada pelo homem. O que me atrai é a curva livre e sensual, a curva que encontro nas
montanhas do meu país. No curso sinuoso dos seus rios, nas ondas do mar, no corpo da mulher preferida. De curvas é feito todo o universo, o universo curvo de Einstein."



Oscar Niemeyer

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost. There is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.”
