“Everything in #publiclife has already ceased to be #narrative and no longer follows a thread, but instead spreads out as an infinitely interwoven surface.”’ - #RobertMusil, The Man Without Qualities
My favorite reads of 2025, 8th book.

“If it is the fulfillment of man’s primordial dreams to be able to fly…drill our way beneath the bodies of towering mountains, send messages with godlike speed…then present-day research is not only science but sorcery…

„Der geliebte Mensch scheint dort zu stehen, wo sonst etwas fehlt."
#RobertMusil #DerMannOhneEigenschaften
"It is reality that awakens possibilities, and nothing would be more perverse than to deny it."
✒️ #RobertMusil, Austrian writer (The Man Without Qualities), was #BOTD 6 November 1880. #Literature
Any great realization is only half completed in the brain's pool of light; the other half is formed in the dark soil of our innermost being, and above all it is a state of the soul on whose furthest tip the thought sits perched, like a flower.

“Money is power in the abstract…Isn't business really based…on outwitting and exploiting others, except in that in business, cunning and force have become wholly civilized…so that they are actually clothed in the guise of man's liberty?”

This system of indirection…is what nowadays enables the individual and society as a whole to function with a clear conscience; the button to be pressed is always clean and shiny and what happens at the other end of the line is the business of others….

“Science is possible only where situations repeat….A cube would not be a cube if it were not just as rectangular at nine o'clock as at seven….the reason God is such an embarrassment to science is that he was seen only once, at the Creation….”

...she spoke of beauty, he spoke of the fatty tissue supporting the epidermis...mentioned love,he responded with...the annual birthrate...Diotima talking as... God had placed man as a pearl in...the world..Ulrich...that mankind was...a pile of dots...

“…can't you see that it is precisely this growing rationality…that is to blame? Everyone's brain is seized with this craving…to rationalize and compartmentalize life…what's to become of us when we…have it all analyzed, classified, mechanized, standardized….”

When something moves him, he turns against it. He'll always see a good side to every bad action. What he thinks of anything will always depend on some possible context- nothing is, to him, what it is; everything is subject to change, in flux….
El problema de la
civilización cabe resolverlo únicamente con el ❤
La razón no hace otra cosa que debilitar el gran pasado y reducirlo al liberalismo
A cada momento el mundo puede dar la vuelta..📖

“A man who wants the truth becomes a scientist; a man who wants to give free play to his subjectivity may become a writer; but what should a man do who wants something in between?”
