“Prima di giudicare la mia vita o il mio carattere mettiti le mie scarpe, percorri il cammino che ho percorso io. Vivi il mio dolore, i miei dubbi, le mie risate. Vivi gli anni che ho vissuto io e cadi là dove sono caduto io e rialzati come ho fatto io.”

— Luigi Pirandello

“Ma il guaio è che voi, caro mio, non saprete mai come si traduca in me quello che voi mi dite. Non avete parlato turco, no. Abbiamo usato, io e voi, la stessa lingua, le stesse parole. Ma che colpa abbiamo, io e voi, se le parole, per sé, sono vuote? Vuote, caro mio. E voi le riempite del senso vostro, nel dirmele; e io, nell'accoglierle, inevitabilmente, le riempio del senso mio. Abbiamo creduto d'intenderci; non ci siamo intesi affatto.”

Anyone can be heroic from time to time, but a gentleman is something you have to be all the time.

- Luigi Pirandello, Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature

The greatest act of rebellion today is being a gentleman. The true gentleman never lets the influences of the modern world affect the morals he holds or the practice of his virtues, such as courtesy and respect.

"No se puede vivir delante de un espejo. Procure no verse nunca. Porque por más que lo intente, nunca conseguirá conocerse tal como la ven los demás." (Luigi Pindarello)

[barrettaenergetica]

«…E come possiamo intenderci, signore, se nelle parole ch'io dico metto il senso e il valore delle cose come sono dentro di me; mentre chi le ascolta, inevitabilmente le assume col senso e col valore che hanno per sé, del mondo com'egli l'ha dentro? Crediamo di intenderci; non ci intendiamo mai!"»

- Luigi Pirandello

Gli unici modi per fuggire dalla vita sono la pazzia e l’ironia.

Italian literature tournament idea?

I have many things to do but still I want to fill the void of my existence, so a week ago I thought "why don't create a tumblr tournament between the authors from italian literature?".

For the names there are two simple option:

or I will chose the names from the literary canon

or I will open a google form when everyone, by a specified date, will insert the author names that will be put in the tounament.

both the three options combined: I will but the names already chosen under this post and after that open a google form if anyone else want to add some names. The more the merrier the longer = more violence between our favourite author from high school <3

The combination for the various challenges will be sorted randomly, I think I'll use a program/generator to do the job.

Idk if somebody else did the same thing for other literature, like the french or russian, but this idea could be used for various possibilities.

+ I think I'll add also playwrites, for me theatre and literature are different fields but a playwriter at the end of the road is still an author.

I also wanted to do the same thing for italian art, but is a field too wide and maybe in a future I could do it more by art schools/genres (best baroque artist/architect, best renaissance artist/architect etc).
