Our spirits have their own private way of understanding each other, of becoming intimate, while our external persons are still trapped in the commerce of ordinary words, in the slavery of social rules. souls have their own needs and their own ambitions, which the body ignores when it sees that it's impossible to satisfy them or achieve them.

Our Spirits Have Their Own Private Way

Luigi Pirandello
Our spirits have their own private way of understanding each other, of becoming intimate, while our external persons are still trapped in the commerce of ordinary words, in the slavery of social rules. souls have their own needs and their own ambitions, which the body ignores when it sees that it's impossible to satisfy them or achieve them.

More From Luigi Pirandello

As for slavery, there is no need for me to speak of its bad aspects. the only thing requiring explanation is the good side of slavery. i do not mean indirect slavery, the slavery of proletariat; i mean direct slavery, the slavery of the blacks in surinam, in brazil, in the southern regions of north america. direct slavery is as much the pivot upon which our present-day industrialism turns as are machinery, credit, etc. … slavery is therefore an economic category of paramount importance.

For the power given to congress by the constitution does not extend to the internal regulation of the commerce of a state (that is to say, of the commerce between citizen and citizen,) which remain exclusively with its own legislature; but to its external commerce only, that is to say, its commerce with another state, or with foreign nations, or with the indian tribes.

How does one get rid of fear? ramana: what is fear? it is only a thought. if there is anything besides the self there is reason to fear. who sees things separate from the self? first the ego arises and sees objects as external. if the ego does not rise, the self alone exists and there is nothing external. for anything external to oneself implies the existence of the seer within. seeking it there will eliminate doubt and fear. not only fear, all other thoughts centred round the ego will disappear along with it.
Self Ego Doubt
I should love to satisfy all, if i possibly can; but in trying to satisfy all, i may be able to satisfy none. i have, therefore, arrived at the conclusion that the best course is to satisfy one’s own conscience and leave the world to form its own judgment, favorable or otherwise.

There's one uneasy borderline between what is external and what is internal, and this borderline is defined exactly by the sense organs and the skin and the introduction of external things within my own body. consciousness is altered by physical events and physical objects, which impinge upon my sense organs, or which i introduce into my body. now the name traditionally given to external objects or processes which change you internally is sacrament. sacraments are the visible and tangible techniques for bringing you close to your own divinity.

Each pursues his private interest and only his private interest; and thereby serves the private interests of all, the general interest, without willing it or knowing it. the real point is not that each individual's pursuit of his private interest promotes the totality of private interests, the general interest. one could just as well deduce from this abstract phrase that each individual reciprocally blocks the assertion of the others' interests, so that, instead of a general affirmation, this war of all against all produces a general negation.

There are two kinds of sculptures. there's the kind that subtracts: michelangelo starts with a block of marble and chips away. and then there is the kind that adds, building with clay, piling it on. the way i write novels is to keep piling on and piling on and piling on.
