Solaris (2002)                                   

die Seele des Dichters

... Er fühlt das Traurige und das Freudige jedes Menschenschicksals mit. Wenn der Weltmensch in einer abzehrenden Melancholie über großen Verlust seine Tage hinschleicht oder in ausgelassener Freude seinem Schicksale entgegengeht, so schreitet die empfängliche, leichtbewegliche Seele des Dichters wie die wandelnde Sonne von Nacht zu Tag fort, und mit leisen Übergängen stimmt seine Harfe zu Freude und Leid. Eingeboren auf dem Grund seines Herzens wächst die schöne Blume der Weisheit hervor, und wenn die andern wachend träumen und von ungeheuren Vorstellungen aus allen ihren Sinnen geängstiget werden, so lebt er den Traum des Lebens als ein Wachender, und das Seltenste, was geschieht, ist ihm zugleich Vergangenheit und Zukunft. Und so ist der Dichter zugleich Lehrer, Wahrsager, Freund der Götter und der Menschen. ...

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre

dreams come true

... dream your dreams and massage them and you'll live them out. I'm telling you it works.

mortal immortals

Ἀθάνατοι θνητοί, θνητοὶ ἀθάνατοι, ζῶντες τὸν ἐκείνων θάνατον τὸν δὲ ἐκείνων βίον τεθνεῶτες.

Immortal mortals, mortal immortals, living their death and dying their life. - Heraclitus

afraid to die is afraid to live

703 01:02:31,264 -- 01:02:38,021
- I don't understand. People dying, and people just standing around. Don't you care?

705 01:02:38,188 -- 01:02:45,403
- I just went in for that boy with a wild bull runnin' loose. I'm lucky to be sittin' here myself!
- You did? You did?

707 01:02:45,570 -- 01:02:49,240
- Well, I just thought I could get him out, so I did, that's all.

708 01:02:49,407 -- 01:02:52,786
- But what if he'd died? It would be terrible!

709 01:02:52,952 -- 01:03:01,628
- Honey, we all gotta go sometime. Dyin' is as natural as livin'. A man afraid to die is afraid to live.

Misfits (1961)

Schön zu seyn und nützlich
das Recht mir verschafft,
den Ausdruck zu suchen,
wahrlich meiner

what you can't see and what you don't know

- You must stop it. He's going to get killed.

- That is possible.

- But you can't, you can't... you stupid fools!

- See to your friend. He was a brave man.

- You could have killed him at will.

- Yes?

- Why the deception?

- Deception is the point!
   Any fool can calculate strength. That one has been doing it from the moment he saw us.

   Now he has to calculate what he can't see
- ... and fear what he doesn't know.
