When we retire from the conventions of society and draw close to nature, we involuntarily become children: each attribute acquired by experience falls away from the soul, which becomes anew such as it was once and will surely be again.

When We Retire From The Conventions Of

Mikhail Lermontov
When we retire from the conventions of society and draw close to nature, we involuntarily become children: each attribute acquired by experience falls away from the soul, which becomes anew such as it was once and will surely be again.

More From Mikhail Lermontov

You know what i am going to say. i love you. what other men may mean when they use that expression, i cannot tell. what i mean is that i am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which i have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me. you could draw me to fire, you could draw me to water, you could draw me to the gallows, you could draw me to any death, you could draw me to anything i have most avoided, you could draw me to any exposure and disgrace. this and the confusion of my thoughts, so that i am fit for nothing, is what i mean by your being the ruin of me.

You don't want to move toward some utopian literary situation where everybody's free of all conventions. that's ridiculous! conventions are what you need. you have nothing to break down if you don't have conventions.

Has anyone...any distinct notion of what poets of a stronger age understood by the word inspiration? ... there is an ecstasy such that the immese strain of it is sometimes relaxed by a flood of tears, along with which one's steps either rush or involuntarily lag, alternately. there is the feeling that one is completely out of hand, with the very distinct consciousness of an endless number of fine thrills and quiverings to the very toes... everything happens quite involuntarily, as if in a tempestuous outburst of freedom, of absoluteness, of power and divinity.

Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core. rome'll decline and fall again, cortés'll lay tenochtitlán to waste again, and later, ewing will sail again, adrian'll be blown to pieces again, you and i'll sleep under the corsican stars again, i'll come to bruges again, fall in and out of love with eva again, you'll read this letter again, the sun'll grow cold again. nietzsche's gramophone record. when it ends, the old one plays it again, for an eternity of eternities.
Stars Fall School
When the days become longer and there is more sunshine, the grass becomes fresh and, consequently, we feel very happy. on the other hand, in autumn, one leaf falls down and another leaf falls down. the beautiful plants become as if dead and we do not feel very happy. why? i think it is because deep down our human nature likes construction, and does not like destruction. naturally, every action which is destructive is against human nature. constructiveness is the human way. therefore, i think that in terms of basic human feeling, violence is not good. non-violence is the only way.
Beautiful Buddhist Fall
If there be one attribute of the deity which astonishes me more than another, it is the attribute of patience. the great soul that sits on the throne of the universe is not, never was, and never will be, in a hurry. in the realm of nature, every thing has been wrought out in the august consciousness of infinite leisure; and i bless god for that geology which gives me a key to the patience in which the creative process was effected.

What matters is that you enjoy doing something creative. and i'm more and more seeing that as the key. that success and money or any sort of accolades are really not the experience of the journey. it's all about the process of building something.
