The Goddess Durga, by Raja Ravi Verma

“The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate only what crushes it. But happiness likewise, in its way, is without reason, since it is inevitable.”
― Albert #Camus, The Myth of #Sisyphus and Other Essays

Sisyphus, 1548 by Titian

Be Relentless, doing whatever it takes to get that thing, but also realize that there are rules & values, we must not cross, we are, after all, beings of light, we are not slaves of goals, we have to become their masters.
We must not lose ourselves in the process.

"Woman is sacred; the woman one loves is holy."
-The Count of Monte Cristo

"To be happy always is something which is difficult to achieve. That is to say, happiness and sorrow alternate in one's life and there cannot be uninterrupted happiness alone."

– #Ramayana

Why do we fear success?
we might Fail.
Why do we fear heights?
we might fall.
Why do we fear Love?
we might lose.

The right way is not to fear,
but to take great risks,
for in this fleeting world
Everything is possible
& the Life we love is certainly
worth fighting for.

Unless you grasp that it requires all the strength of spirit to die, that the hero always dies before his death, you will not come particularly far in your observations on life.
- Soren #Kierkegaard

Bernardo Bandini Baroncelli was hanged for being one of the instigators of Pazzi conspiracy.

Leonardo da Vinci sketched the hanging man, diligently noting his clothing:

A tan colored skull-cap
doublet of black serge,
a black jerkin,
A blue coat lined with fur of fox’s breasts.

The Backwater - Charles William Wyllie, RBA(British, 1859-1923)

Nurse Antipova,who never blamed anyone, yet
whose very silence was almost a reproach, mysteriously reserved & so strong in her reserve.
Here too was Yury's honest effort to put all his strength into not Loving her,as honest as his striving all his life to love everyone.
