Madre Teresa di Calcutta: Ci sono persone che hanno un compagno..

Ci sono persone che hanno un compagno, ma che si sentono talmente sole e vuote che è come se non lo avessero.

Altre, invece, pur di non aspettare, decidono di camminare accanto alla persona sbagliata e, nel loro egoismo, non permettono a quella persona di allontanarsi, anche se sanno che non la rendono felice.

Ci sono persone che portano avanti matrimoni o fidanzamenti ormai distrutti, perché credono che stare da soli sia difficile ed inaccettabile.

Ci sono persone che decidono di occupare il secondo posto cercando di arrivare al primo, ma quel viaggio è difficile, scomodo e ci riempie di dolore e di abbandono.

Jean Charles Cazin | Tonalist painter

Jean-Charles Cazin (1840-1901) was a French landscapist, museum curator and ceramicist.

The son of a well-known doctor, FJ Cazin (1788-1864), he was born at Samer, Pas-de-Calais.

After studying in France, he went to England, where he was strongly influenced by the pre-Raphaelite movement.

His chief earlier pictures have a religious interest, shown in such examples as The Flight into Egypt (1877), or Hagar and Ishmael (1880, Luxembourg); and afterwards his combination of luminous landscape with figure-subjects (Souvenir de fête, 1881; Journée faite, 1888) gave him a wide repute, and made him the leader of a new school of idealistic subject-painting in France.

Un uomo che coltiva il suo giardino, come voleva Voltaire.

Chi è contento che sulla terra esista la musica.
