  • The heart of summer

    “The morning is full of storm in the heart of summer. The clouds travel like white handkerchiefs of good-bye, the wind, traveling, waving them in its hands. The numberless heart of the wind beating above our loving silence. Orchestral and divine, resounding among the trees like a language full of wars and songs. (…) Her…

  • No justification for mass murders

    I have kept my mouth shut for the past week to process the terrifying and abhorrent events that unfolded in Germany and France. Trying to get to the facts. Trying to make sense of the senselessness. But as I keep browsing through (parts of) the press, I can keep quiet no longer. I have read too…

  • Toni Erdmann – A Must See

    Toni Erdmann, which has just opened in Germany, is a bizarre independent film that will make you embrace Romania with all you’ve got, and which also manages to lampoon the trappings of corporate life just the right amount. (The impossible loneliness, the ridiculous helplessness of wrestling with a dress that’s too tight amidst the barren luxury…

  • Quote of the day

    The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less. Vaclav Havel – Letters to Olga (1988), p. 237

  • Romania – Primeval beauty

    Romania, Europe’s tender wilderness. Here, the Cerna Valley and its surroundings, in the country’s southwest. The scenery, a soft primordial crescendo. The climate mild, the people welcoming. And the fragrances – whether wild flowers and acacia or the smell of home-cooked meals – irresistible. Rumänien, Europas sanfte Wildnis. Hier, das Cernatal und seine Umgebung im…

  • Thought of the day

    “Every one begins to survey the rest, and wishes to be surveyed himself; and public esteem acquires a value. He who sings or dances best; the handsomest, the strongest, the most dexterous, the most eloquent, comes to be the most respected: this was the first step towards inequality, and at the same time towards vice.…

  • Put a sock in it!

    Ca să parafrazez un binecunoscut gânditor, înclin să cred că numai două lucruri se găsesc în cantitate nelimitată pe lumea asta: prostia (în general) şi ciorapii (cei murdari, ai bărbaţilor, în special). Experienţa mă face să cuget că simpla spălare, sortare pe perechi, întindere pe sârme, împachetare post-uscare şi aşezare în sertare a şosetelor consorţilor noştri…

  • Thought of the day

    “His conclusion was that things were not always what they appeared to be. The cub’s fear of the unknown was an inherited distrust, and it had now been strengthened by experience. Thenceforth, in the nature of things, he would possess an abiding distrust of appearances. He would have to learn the reality of a thing…

  • Thought of the day

    “The willingness to change one’s identity, or at least add a second identity – perhaps one of the most painful psychological experiences humans can encounter but also one of the most liberating – is shaped first and foremost by the willingness of the host culture to accept the immigrant into the community. As long as…
