Top Red Motley Quotes
Beauty is frightening," they will tell you -
Lazily you will arrange
A Spanish shawl on your shoulders,
A red rose in your hair.
"Beauty is simple," they will tell you -
Clumsily with a motley shawl
You will cover a child up,
A red rose on the floor.
But, distractedly heeding
All the words sounding around you,
Sadly lost in thought
You will say about yourself:
'I am neither frightening nor simple;
I am not so frightening, that I would simply
Kill; I am not so simple
That I do not know how frightening life is.'
("For Anna Akhmatova") — Alexander Blok
215. As in the stellar firmament there are sometimes two suns which determine the path of one planet, and in certain cases suns of different colours shine around a single planet, now with red light, now with green, and then simultaneously illumine and flood it with motley colours: so we modern men, owing to the complicated mechanism of our "firmament," are determined by DIFFERENT moralities; our actions shine alternately in different colours, and are seldom unequivocal - and there are often cases, also, in which our actions are MOTLEY-COLOURED. — Friedrich Nietzsche
