A quotation from Hazlitt, William

It is erroneous to tie down individual genius to ideal models. Each person should do that, not which is best in itself, even supposing this coudl be known, but that which he can do best, which he will find out if left to himself. Spenser could not have written Paradise Lost, nor Milton the Faerie Queene. Those who aim at faultless regularity will only produce mediocrity, and no one ever approaches perfection except by stealth, and unknown to themselves.

William Hazlitt (1778-1830) English writer
“Thoughts on Taste”, Edinburgh Magazine (1819-07)

Die neuen #ComicFilter von #Instagram. Eigentlich eine nette Spielerei, wenn sie junge Menschen nicht bis hin zur Schönheitsoperation beeinflussen würden.

Guten Morgen Welt!

Was, schon wach? Nun denn. Hier ein wenig Kontrastprogramm:

"Deine ..., eure blauen Augen machen mich so sentimental ..."

Jemand 'n Kaffee? Jochen ist auch schon unterwegs und hat, zumindest temporär, Netz. Bekommen wir dann auch nur temporäre Röggelchen? Das wäre ja toll, wenn die verschwinden bevor sie bei mir die Fettschicht optimieren.
