Philosophical ideas in the world today can only be effective if they reach the majority of individuals. The momentary situation is as follows: most people can read and write but never gain complete knowledge of western culture. And it is precisely these people who are the knowers, thinkers and doers of our day. They can fulfil their task all the better the more they attain insight into the full extent of great visions and critical differentiation. Therefore it is absolutely necessary in hours of contemplation for all people to concentrate on making the essentials as simple, as clear, and as communicable as possible without loss of profundity.
(Karl Jaspers) Karl Jaspers, Die Aufgabe der Philosophie in der Gegenwart, 1953

In Memoriam:
Interview with the honorable Lord Menuhin

BEGIN IT NOW!
Until one is committed
there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness.

Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation)
there is one elementary truth
the ignorance of which kills countless ideas
and splendid plans.

That the moment one definitely commits oneself
then Providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one
that would never otherwise have occurred.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision
raising in one's favor all manner
of unforeseen incidents and meetings
and material assistance
which no man could have dreamt
would have come his way.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Begin it now!

(Goethe, 1749 - 1832)
