New plan: to get rid of stuff i don’t need, as i feel overhelmed by them and it’s such a bad feeling! No, I don’t have thousands of items, but still too much… Life is simple – so should be our attitiude towards it.

Some clues for myself:
- make lists of things you own in each cathegory & start minimalizing your collections
- leave only these things you actually use during one year
- also books can’t stay with you forever! bookcrossing rules!
- if you buy a new thing, give away two of your old ownings
- don’t be (too) sentimental – life moves forward
- there are way better activities than shoppings! // ‘lists of potental shoppings’ should survive one month – if it didn’t, you don’t need those stuff
- you should focus only on important things! minimalism is not just about material items

Never fear big words.
Big long words name little things.
All big things have little names.
Such as life and death, peace and war,
Or dawn, day, night, hope, love, home.
Learn to use little words in a big way.
It is hard to do.
But they say what you mean.
When you don’t know what you mean—
Use big words.
They often fool little people.
- Arthur Kodner to his son

You just don’t know anything unless you can write it. Sure you can argue things out in your own head and bring them out at parties, but in order to argue anything thoroughly, you must be able to put it down on paper.
- S. I. Hayakawa

The written word is the link between the past and the future.
- Lincoln Barnett

Keep cheerfully at the task of teaching children the writing disciplines, and rejoice greatly at each new inch of progress achieved, but don’t break your heart over your failures.

When travelling, the best choice to take with you as souvenirs, is to bring postards with your country/city/flag/map.

What to bring with you?

Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.
— Cesare Pavese

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”

“The soul of Africa – together with my love for art – had taken hold of me, captured my senses, embraced my spirit, and (forced) me to return again and again. And yes, I did pay a dear price – without the intrigue – for the hardships far outweighed the propelling force. But the art I found was so extraordinary that it could not go unnoticed. It was also disappearing rapidly, as if a door – synchronized to my shutter speed – was closing after each exposure.”- Margaret Courtney-Clarke
