The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?

There are black zones of shadow close to our daily paths, and now and then some evil soul breaks a passage through.

I think it would be rather fitting to publish an update at the beginning of the new year.
I feel like I’ve been neglecting the blog over the past few months. That’s mainly because I’ve been working on other projects.
I don’t want to announce anything too early, but I will say that I am planning to publish a Parallel Aesthetics photo-book.
I hope you, my much appreciated audience, stay with me and have a prosperous new year.
Unpleasant, even dangerous, qualities can be found in every nation and every individual.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow, and, driving o’er the fields,
Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air
Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,
And veils the farmhouse at the garden’s end.
The sled and traveller stopped, the courier’s feet
Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit
Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed
In a tumultuous privacy of storm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Through the sharp air a flaky torrent flies,
Mocks the slow sight, and hides the gloomy skies;
The fleecy clouds their chilly bosoms bare,
And shed their substance on the floating air.
George Crabbe

We believe that we know something about the things themselves when we speak of trees, colours, snow, and flowers; and yet we possess nothing but metaphors for things — metaphors which correspond in no way to the original entities.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Reality is a creation of our excesses.
Emil Cioran

Life is hell, and the sweet still night of absolute death is the annihilation of hell.
Philipp Mainländer

Disobedience is the stamp of the hero.
