On Francis of Assisi (1961)

Francis of Assisi (1961)

I liked Francis of Assisi (1961).

I found that in the movie the main character was like a super-man. A real-life hero. I could find no flaws in him.

I don’t remember seeing so clearly a character to whom I can’t object anything.

I enjoyed the movie.

Also, there are some old movies that are more difficult to watch. I found this movie easy to see, despite its age.

What’s the point of insisting?

Ralf Κλενγελ - Watching for the next animals - Masai Mara Kenya

I’ve heard Radu Paraschivescu saying somethings in the lines of:

RO: “Și în plus eu n-aș fi putut să-mi exercit ceea ce – pornind ca o plăcere – pare să fi devenit vocație. Pare! – așa, un bemol la cheie. N-aș fi putut scrie în altă limbă. Eu n-am avut răbdarea asiatică a lui Petru Popescu care a scris maculare întregi și le a rupt ca să și cristalizeze exprimarea în engleză.”

EN: “And besides, I wouldn’t have been able to exercise what – starting as a pleasure – seems to have become a vocation. Seems! – like a flat note in the key. I wouldn’t have been able to write in another language. I didn’t have the Asiatic patience of Petru Popescu, who wrote entire reams and tore them apart to crystallize his expression in English.”

Gala Galaction has burned some of his writings.

It makes you think – what’s the purpose of writing if you delete some things you write?

The answer? The writing process itself makes you a better writer. And, hopefully, a better human.

Sometimes, the path (writing, doing, working, creating) is better than the result (a specific aim and achievement).

Super cool: how can you read news on websites you frequently visit—without being disturbed by various visual elements of a specific site?

uBlock Origin

Let’s say you often visit news sites or blogs.

And, let’s say you would prefer not to see certain sections (the top of the site, the sidebar, the footer).

Maybe there are sections that bother you—”see more news,” “similar articles,” “subscribe to our newsletter,” “follow us on social media.”

I have a solution that allows you to customize the content of a page highly—you can choose not to display certain sections.

Here I’ve posted some filters that can be used ».

A tool that might be useful for HTML formatting: https://www.freeformatter.com/html-formatter.html

The solution is uBlock Origin – Chrome / Firefox.
