O Longo Desmilinguir da Civilização

Japan’s vacant house problem will become worse before it becomes better. According to government estimates there are 8 million residences in Japan with no one living in them, a number that Bloomberg reports will increase to 20 million by 2033, representing a third of all the homes in Japan. A good portion of these residences are abandoned. There are no plans for anyone to live in them ever again, a prospect that alarms the central government, as it should. Abandoned homes are firetraps. Often they are filled with garbage that breeds vermin and surrounded by overgrown vegetation. Unmaintained sewage systems and septic tanks can spread disease. They are eyesores that diminish surrounding property values.

“Não espere que eu cante aos berros
Apenas Zeus sabe trovoar”

Callimachus, Prólogo, Aitia

"Examining my actions, the most fair-seeming of which were my lecturing and professorial occupations, I found to my surprise that I was engrossed in several studies of little value, and profitless as regards my salvation. I probed the motives of my teaching and found that, in place of being sincerely consecrated to God, it was only actuated by a vain desire of honour and reputation. I perceived that I was on the edge of an abyss, and that without an immediate conversion I should be doomed to eternal fire"

Al Ghazzali, The Confessions

"Nem me falta na vida honesto estudo,
Com longa esperiencia misturado,
Nem engenho, que aqui vereis presente,
Cousas que juntas se acham raramente."

Luís Vaz de Camões, Os Lusíadas, Canto X


"You never open your mouth but with intention to give pain: and you have often give me pain, not from the power of what you said, but from seeing your intention"

“Você só abre a boca para espinafrar, e você frequentemente me fere, não pelo poder do que disse, mas por sua intenção”

Samuel Johnson in The Life of Samuel Johnson, James Boswell


"To make us love our country, our country ought to be lovely"

Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France


"Je suis peu en prise de ces violentes passions : J'ay l'apprehension naturellement dure ; et l'encrouste et espessis tous les jours par discours".

"Sou pouco predisposto a essas paixões violentas; tenho uma sensibilidade naturalmente grosseira e a torno mais espessa ainda e empedernida mediante raciocínios diários".

Montaigne, Essais, De la Tristesse



"The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity"

"Falta convicção aos melhores
Enquanto os piores estão cheios de paixão"

William Butler Yeats, The Second Coming


"(...) living as I do amongst so many lazy people, that the diligent man becomes necessary, that they cannot do anything without him".

"(...) vivendo como eu vivo entre tantos picaretas, um homem diligente se faz necessário, pois essa ralé não consegue fazer nada sem ele".

Samuel Pepys, Diary, 1/11/1665

"Instruisez-le d'exemple, et rendez-le parfait,
Expliquant `a ses yeux vos lecons par l'effet."

"Ensine-o a alcançar a perfeição pelo exemplo
Explique suas lições pelos seus feitos."

Pierre Corneille, Le Cid, Acte Premiere, Scene III


"Those, who, in confidence of superior capacities or attainments, disregard the common maxims of life, shall be reminded, that nothing will supply the want of prudence; and that negligence and irregularity, long continued, will make knowledge useless, wit ridiculous, and genius contemptible"


"Aqueles que confiam em sua superioridade ou realizações, e desconsideram os ditames comuns da vida, devem ser lembrados que nada substitui a prudência; e que a negligência e irregularidade praticadas por um longo tempo tornarão o conhecimento inútil, a inteligência ridícula e o gênio detestável"

Samuel Johnson, An Account of the Life of Mr. Richard Savage

"L'usage ordinaire de la finesse est la marque d'un petit esprit"

"O uso cotidiano da filhadaputagem é a marca registrada dos espíritos medíocres”

François La Rochefoucauld, Maximes


"Este es un país asqueroso! Aquí los únicos que triunfan son los sinverguenzas!"


Ernesto Sabato, Sobre Héroes y Tumbas.


"The scum of the earth gathers itself together, becomes a criminal or a revolutionary society, finds some visionary or some cosmopolitan agitator to lead it, establishes its own code of ethics, imposes the desperate discipline of outlaws upon its members, and prepares to rend the free society that allowed it to exist"

“A escória da terra se une, torna-se uma associação de criminosos ou revolucionários, encontra um visionário ou algum agitador cosmopolita para liderá-la, estabelece seu próprio código de ética, impõe a nefasta disciplina da bandidagem sobre seus membros, e se prepara para submeter a sociedade livre que permitiu sua existência”.

George Santayana, The Irony of Liberalism
