MADMENS CALLING: DooR

WELCOME TO MAD MEN'S CALLING.
“The basis of artistic creation is not what is, but what might be; not the real, but the possible. Artists create according to the same principles as nature, but they apply them to individual entities, while nature, to use a Goethean expression, thinks nothing of individual things. She is always building and destroying, because she wants to achieve perfection, not in the individual thing, but in the whole.” -Rudolf Steiner
"Often a man gets into a situation where there's just one thing to do. There is no alternative. He wants to run, but there is no place to run to. So he goes ahead on the only course that's open and people call it courage." -John D. Rockefeller Jr.
We must admit that the beauty of depth and distance must be thoroughly investigated in the obscure regions of youtube. Case in point below is some wonderful footage.
QUOTES:
"When man has reached the place where he has faith in God, in nature and himself, he knows the Word of power; his word is balm for every wound, is cure for all the ills of life.
The healer is the man who can inspire faith. The tongue may speak to human ears, but souls are reached by souls that speak to souls." -Levi
"For the discovery of truth there is no path...When you want to find something new, when you are experimenting with anything, your mind has to be very quiet, has it not? If your mind is crowded, filled with facts, knowledge, they act as an impediment to the new; the difficulty for most of us is that the mind has become so important, so predominantly signigicant, that it interferes constantly with anything that may be new, with anything that may exist simultaneously with the known. Thus knowledge and learning are impediments for those who would seek, for those who would try to understand that which is timeless." -Krishnamurti (The Book of Life)
"The one important thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one's work seriously and taking one's self seriously. The first is imperative and the second is disasterous."
-Margot Fonteyn-
"The hardest thing to teach is stillness."
-Arthur Mitchell-
"Some people are your relatives but others are your ancestors, and you choose the ones you want to have as ancestors. You create yourself out of those values."
-Ralph Ellison-
"When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking. "
-James Baldwin-
"My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way...The great thing is to last and get your work done and see and hear and learn and understand; and write when there is something that you know; and not before; and not too damned much after... The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself...The shortest answer is doing the thing."
-Ernest Hemingway-
"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is like the difference between lightening and the lightening bug."
-Mark Twain-
