EL ORDEN QUE SOMOS

“Somos sensibles al criterioarmónico de constitución del mundo”.Tales de Mileto

Esta frase atribuida a Tales de Mileto condensa una intuición decisiva del pensamiento presocrático: el mundo no es un agregado caótico de cosas, sino un orden (kósmos) regido por proporción, medida y relación; y el ser humano no es ajeno a ese orden, sino capaz de percibirlo.

“Criterio armónico” no se refiere aquí a la

"COMO PUEDE SER UN LIBRO POCO CONOCIDO
ENAMORADA DE DANIEL"
Arcadia by Samantha Devin
""Ahora sé menos que nunca pero siento más que antes"

Esta obra -a mi parecer- no tiene comparación, o incluso no tiene siquiera un género especifico, por lo menos no uno en la actualidad, se mueve del horror, de la novela negra, hasta algo tan idílico" Read more of this review »

“Tenemos la obligación de convertirnos en nuestra propia leyenda" Arcadia de Samantha Devin”
Samantha Devin, Arcadia: Una tragedia moderna

“Hay algo que se nos escapa a la hora de comprendernos. Siempre existirán lagunas, zonas de sombras que, incluso viviendo en nuestra piel, son un enigma toda nuestra vida" Bilis Negra de Samantha Devin”
Samantha Devin, Bilis Negra

“-¿Mintiendo, entonces? -pregunté.
-No. Mentir no es lo mismo que actuar. Quien actúa para transformarse ejercita su voluntad. La voluntad requiere un esfuerzo, del esfuerzo surge el cambio.”
Samantha Devin, Arcadia: Una tragedia moderna

Samantha Devin, Bilis Negra

“Todo lo indispensable causa temor, horroriza; trivializarlo o pretender, como yo hago, que es sólo una cosa más, es al fin y al cabo, humano". Bilis Negra de Samantha Devin”
Samantha Devin

“-¿Mintiendo, entonces? -pregunté.
-No. Mentir no es lo mismo que actuar. Quien actúa para transformarse ejercita su voluntad. La voluntad requiere un esfuerzo, del esfuerzo surge el cambio.”
Samantha Devin, Arcadia: Una tragedia moderna

“And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Dolors Many thanks for your friend invite Samantha. Amazed to see many of my recent reads among your shelves. Thank you also for trying to reply to that nonsensical question, which I am unable to answer myself. I have actually been meaning to delete it for ages but people come up with the most creative of responses and so I continue postponing doing so... Anyway, thanks for your nice words, I can't wait to chat books with you, cheers from Barcelona!
