“It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom. Without this it goes to wrack and ruin without fail.”
― Albert Einstein

"The people who move through the streets are all strangers. At each encounter, they imagine a thousand things about one another; meetings which could take place between them, conversations, surprises, caresses, bites. But no one greets anyone; eyes lock for a second, then dart away, seeking other eyes, never stopping." - Italo Calvino

❝ You are like night, calmed, constellated.
Your silence is star-like, as distant, as true.
— Pablo Neruda - XV
 
So, there is this Italian web page where you can find out how harmful a product is, and I thought I sould share it with you! http://www.biodizionario.it/
You would be surprised with your findings(or not) ! I selected a shampoo of mine and tested its ingredients. What I found out is that most of them used ( even in a well known brand) are unacceptable for the skin( potentially carcinogenic) and of cource now I'm in search of natural products that are not just ''baptized" as such .
The circles (colored green, red, yellow) that appear after you write the ingredient tell you if that is beneficial for the skin (green circle ) and how much ( 2 green circles means really good, one means acceptable) . The red circle unacceptable, and the yellow means that the ingredient may cause problems to some, such as allergies.
And that's it! : )

"Can you imagine?
For example, what the trees do
not only in lightening storms
or the watery dark of a summer’s night
or under the white nets of winter
but now, and now, and now - whenever
we’re not looking. Surely you can’t imagine
they don’t dance, from the root up, wishing
to travel a little, not cramped so much as wanting
a better view, or more sun, or just as avidly
more shade - surely you can’t imagine they just
stand there loving every
minute of it, the birds or the emptiness, the dark rings
of the years slowly and without a sound
thickening, and nothing different unless the wind,
and then only in its own mood, comes
to visit, surely you can’t imagine
patience, and happiness, like that."
-Mary Oliver

“I feel that art has something to do with the achievement of stillness in the midst of chaos. A stillness which characterizes prayer, too, and the eye of the storm. I think that art has something to do with an arrest of attention in the midst of distraction.”
― Saul Bellow

“Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard, are sweeter”

“The lifetime of a human being is measured by decades, the lifetime of the Sun is a hundred million times longer. Compared to a star, we are like mayflies, fleeting ephemeral creatures who live out their lives in the course of a single day.”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“All your life you're yellow. Then one day you brush up against something blue, the barest touch, and voila, the rest of your life you're green.”
