Quotes

• There’s no more attractive pleasure, in my view, than following one’s ideas wherever they lead, as the hunter pursues his game, without even trying to keep to any set route. Xavier de Maistre, A Journey Around My Room
• When good health and a fine sunny day smile at me, I am quite debonair; give me an ingrowing toe-nail, and I am touchy, bad-tempered and unapproachable. Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays
• Man, the ephemeral spectator of an eternal spectacle, raises for an instant his eyes to the heavens, and then closes them again forever; but, during this fleeting instant that is granted him, from every point of the sky and from the very furthest bourns of the universe, a consoling ray of light sets out from every world, and falls onto his eyes, announcing to him that there is a relationship between that immensity and himself, and that he is an associate of eternity. Xavier de Maistre, A Journey Around My Room
• Like the sight of enemies or wild beasts dripping with blood or going to the kill; like the underworld monsters poets have imagined, girt with serpents and breathing fire; like the most terrible divinities that issue from Hell to stir up war, spread discord among nations, and tear peace to shreds– that’s how we should picture anger in the mind’s eye: its eyes ablaze, making a din with its shrieking and bellowing and groaning and hissing and any sound that is more hateful, brandishing its weapons in both hands (nor indeed is it concerned to shield itself), fierce, bloody, scarred, and bruised by self-inflicted blows, striding in a frenzy, cloaked in darkness, attacking, laying waste, putting to flight, stirred in its travails by a hatred of everyone and everything– itself most of all– as it seeks to confound earth and sea and sky, if it can cause harm no other way, hating and hated at once. Lucius Seneca; Anger, Mercy, Revenge
• We may as well assert that a man, by remaining in a vessel, freely consents to the dominion of the master; though he was carried on board while asleep, and must leap into the ocean, and perish, the moment he leaves her. David Hume, Of the Original Contract
• Our body is composed of what we eat; our mind, of what we hear, read, say, and write. Control of food is tantamount to control of the body, and control of language to control of the mind. Thomas Szasz, The Untamed Tongue: A Dissenting Dictionary, 1990
• The business of psychiatry is to provide society with excuses disguised as diagnoses, and with coercions justified as treatments. Thomas Szasz
• I will at least have the consolation of having made a dog happy. Xavier de Maistre, A Journey Around My Room
• We have been allotted inconstancy, hesitation, doubt, pain, superstition, worries about what will happen (even after we are dead), ambition, greed, jealousy, envy, unruly, insane, and untameable appetites, war, lies, disloyalty, backbiting and curiosity. We take pride in our fair, discursive reason and our capacity to judge and to know, but we have bought them at a price which is strangely excessive. Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays
• Our life consists partly in madness, partly in wisdom: whoever writes about it merely respectfully and by rule leaves more than half of it behind. Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays
• A bed witnesses our birth and death; it is the unvarying theatre in which the human race acts out, successively, its captivating dramas, laughable farces, and dreadful tragedies. It is a cradle bedecked with flowers; it is the throne of love; it is a sepulchre. Xavier de Maistre, A Journey Around My Room
• Although I am continually striving to forget my sorrows and to chase them from my thoughts, it sometimes happens, when I am not sufficiently on my guard, that they suddenly all come flooding into my memory at the same time, as if the sluice gates had been opened for them. On these occasions, I have no option but to abandon myself to the torrent sweeping me away, and my ideas then become so gloomy, and all the objects around me seem so dismal, that I usually end up laughing at my own folly; as a result, the very intensity of the malady produces its own remedy.
• There, full of vermin, lay Argus the hound. But directly he became aware of Odysseus' presence, he wagged his tail and dropped his ears, though he lacked the strength now to come nearer to his master. Odysseus turned his eyes away, and, making sure Eumaeus did not notice, brushed away a tear. Homer, The Odyssey
• My dear dog Rosine, who has never offered me any favours, in fact does me the greatest favour that can be shown to humanity: she loved me once, and she still loves me today. Xavier de Maistre, A Journey Around My Room
• Droll thing life is – that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself – that comes too late – a crop of inextinguishable regrets. Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
• Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. Hippocrates
• If we take man as he is we make him worse, but if we take man as he should be we make him capable of becoming what he can be. Goethe
• I had no particular desire to enlighten them, but I had some difficulty in restraining myself from laughing in their faces so full of stupid importance. Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
• I maintain (even though my feeling may be regarded as paradoxical) that the light and brilliant wit of conversation is not even necessary in the most long-lasting love affair, if it has really sprung from the heart; and despite everything that those who have only ever half loved may say of the long intervals that intense feelings of love and friendship leave between them, the day always goes by quickly when you spent it with your beloved, and silence is as full of interest as any discussion. Xavier de Maistre, A Journey Around My Room
• Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without guidance from another. Immanuel Kant, An Answer to the Question: What Is Enlightenment?
• Rules and formulas, those mechanical aids to the rational use, or rather misuse, of his natural gifts, are the shackles of a permanent immaturity. Whoever threw them off would still make only an uncertain leap over the smallest ditch, since he is unaccustomed to this kind of free movement. Consequently, only a few have succeeded, by cultivating their own minds, in freeing themselves from immaturity and pursuing a secure course. Immanuel Kant, An Answer to the Question: What Is Enlightenment?
• I protect my friends, growl at the untrustworthy, and bite wrong-doers. Crates of Thebes
• I think we should allow ourselves to laugh, or at least to smile, each time that an innocent opportunity to do so presents itself. Xavier de Maistre, A Journey Around My Room
• It is useless to argue with a man whose opinion is based upon a personal or pecuniary interest. William Jennings Bryan
• It is fine to travel around many cities, but profitable to live in the best one. Bio the Cynic
• O time! Dread deity! It is not your cruel scythe that fills me with terror; I fear only your hideous children, Indifference and Forgetfulness, who turn three-quarters of our lifespan into a long death. Xavier de Maistre, A Journey Around My Room
• I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams. Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
• If I had the chance to have a second career, I would try harder not to follow of the fashion of the herd. The mistakes I have made, at least those into which I have insight, have usually resulted from adhering excessively to the prevailing orthodoxy.
Robin Murray, Mistakes I Have Made in My Research Career
• Sick and yet happy, in peril and yet happy, dying and yet happy, in exile and happy, in disgrace and happy. Epictetus
• So – I will die one day? I will die? I – the person speaking, the person able to feel and touch myself – I might die? I find it rather difficult to believe: after all, others die, and there’s nothing more natural than that: you see it happen every day: you see them passing away, you get used to it; but for you to die, you yourself – you in person! Well, that’s a bit too much. Xavier de Maistre, A Journey Around My Room
• Something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. Immanuel Kant
• The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted or sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem
• They all pose as if they had discovered and arrived at their genuine convictions through the self-development of a cold, pure, divinely indifferent dialectic... while what really happens is that they take a conjecture, a whim, an “inspiration” or, more typically, they take some fervent wish that they have sifted through and made properly abstract – and they defend it with rationalizations after the fact. Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
• He dreaded, with a sinking heart he dreaded. Tolstoy, War and Peace
• Were I in a desert I would find out wherewith in it to call forth my affections. If I could do no better, I would fasten them on some sweet myrtle, or some melancholy cypress, to connect myself to; I would court them for my shade, and greet them kindly for my protection. I would write my name upon them, and declare that they were the sweetest trees throughout all the desert. If their leaves withered, I would teach myself to mourn, and when they rejoined I would rejoice along with them. Jean Jacques Rousseau
• What an intense, melancholy pleasure my heart feels when my eyes run over the lines traced by someone who is no longer alive. Here is his handwriting, it was his heart that guided his hand, and this letter is all I have left of him! Xavier de Maistre, A Journey Around My Room
• Those people who are so quick and eager to settle controversial issues by appeal to authority in reality are glad when they can, instead of using their own reason and insight, of which there is surely not enough, put forward that of strangers.Arthur Schopenhauer, On Thinking for Yourself
• The soul, today flooded with dark ideas and tragic images, finds causes of sadness everywhere – just as a corrupted stomach converts the healthiest foods into poisons. Xavier de Maistre, A Journey Around My Room
• The newspaper does everything for us. It runs the police force and the banks, commands the militia, controls the legislature, baptizes the young, marries the foolish, comforts the afflicted, afflicts the comfortable, buries the dead and roasts them afterward. Finley Peter Dunne
• There’s a part of me that knows what the answer should be to that question, and hates me for not being able to reach it.
• They say that you sometimes cast politics out through the door but it climbs back through the window, particularly when the windows are open. Secret letter from Khrushchev to Kennedy
• Under this bright southern sun it is even somehow hard to believe that there still exist problems in the world which, due to lack of solutions, cast a sinister shadow on peaceful life, on the future of millions of people. Secret letter from Khrushchev to Kennedy
• You have to understand, I have no ground to retreat further, there is a precipice behind. Secret letter from Khrushchev to Kennedy
• When I was let out of prison the next morning, I proceeded to finish my errand, and, having put on my mended shoe, joined a huckleberry party, who were impatient to put themselves under my conduct; and in half an hour — for the horse was soon tackled — was in the midst of a huckleberry field, on one of our highest hills, two miles off, and then the State was nowhere to be seen. Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience
• You know I hate, detest, and can't bear a lie, not because I am straighter than the rest of us, but simply because it appalls me. There is a taint of death, a flavour of mortality in lies – which is exactly what I hate and detest in the world – what I want to forget. It makes me miserable and sick, like biting something rotten would do. Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
• Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. Hermann Goering, Nuremberg trials
• When I picture to myself the most reflective and the most wise of men in sexual postures, I hold it as an effrontery that he should claim to be reflective and wise. Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays
• Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it. Michel de Montaigne
• Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion; and he whose real wants are supplied, must admit those of fancy. Dr. Johnson, Rasselas, 1759
• In every one of us the deepest emotions are constantly caused by some absurdly trivial thing, or by nothing at all. Conversely, the great things in our lives -- the true occasions for wrath, anguish, rapture, what not -- very often leave us quite calm. We never can depend on any right adjustment of emotion to circumstances. Max Beerbohm, Yet Again, 1909
• The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. H.L. Mencken, In Defense of Women
• Every hand's a winner. And every hand's a loser. And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep. Kenny Rogers, The Gambler
• If you wish to advance into the infinite, explore the finite in all directions. Goethe, Miscellaneous Epigrams, Early 19th Century

Poetry

• Right from the fount of these delights of ours
  A bitter something rises, which chokes us 'mid the flowers.
  

  Lucretius

• From the ship seek swiftness, from the shield protection,
  Cuts from the sword, from the maiden kisses.
  

  Hávamál

• I shall the effect of this good lesson keep,
  As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother,
  Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
  Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven;
  Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,
  Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
  And recks not his own rede.
  

  Shakespeare, Hamlet

• What from your fathers’ heritage is lent,
  Earn it anew, to really possess it!
  

  Goethe, Faust

• Till that which suits a part infects the whole,
  And now is almost grown the habit of my soul.
  

  Samuel Coleridge, Dejection: An Ode

• On human actions reason tho' you can,
  It may be reason, but it is not man.
  

  Pope, Epistle to Lord Cobham, 1734

• In certain cases it would be uncouth,
  And most absurd to speak the naked truth;
  With all respect for your exalted notions,
  It’s often best to veil one’s true emotions.
  Wouldn’t the social fabric come undone
  If we were wholly frank with everyone?
  

  Molière, The Misanthrope

Tech Stuff

Video editing

Use the ffmpeg command line program.

• Extract first video frame as an image:
  

  ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vframes 1 output.png

• Scale video to target width (e.g. 560px):
  

  ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=560:-1 output.mp4

• Reduce video file size (range depends on codec but generally about 10-20 is default and higher is lower quality, up to around 50 being lowest):
  

  ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -crf 40 output.mp4

• Crop after some amount of time (e.g. 5 seconds):
  

  ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00:05 -c copy output.mp4

• Cut a clip from a video between two timestamps:
  

  ffmpeg -ss 00:54:07 -to 00:56:00 -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mp4

• Cut first part of a video up to a timestamp:
  

  ffmpeg -to 00:00:15 -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mp4

• Speed up a video with audio by 2x:
  

  ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=0.5*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=2.0[a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" output.mp4

GIF editing

Use the gifsicle command line program (or ezgif.com).

• List frames and delays:
  

  gifsicle --info input.gif

• Extract each frame of a GIF into separate GIF files:
  

  gifsicle --explode input.gif

• Create a GIF from input GIFs:
  

  gifsicle input1.gif input2.gif input3.gif > output.gif

• Scale a GIF in-place to some height (e.g. 100px) and keep the aspect ratio:
  

  gifsicle -b --unoptimize -O2 input_output.gif --resize _x100

• Flip a GIF in-place horizontally:
  

  gifsicle -b --unoptimize -O2 input_output.gif --flip-horizontal "#0-"

• Remove a frame from a GIF in-place (# is 0-based, so the example is the 6th frame):
  

  gifsicle -b --unoptimize -O2 inputoutput.gif --delete "#5"

• Crop transparency of a GIF in-place for all frames:
  

  gifsicle -b --unoptimize -O2 input_output.gif --crop-transparency "#0-"
  gifsicle -b --unoptimize -O2 input_output.gif --rotate-180 "#0-"
  gifsicle -b --unoptimize -O2 input_output.gif --crop-transparency "#0-"
  gifsicle -b --unoptimize -O2 input_output.gif --rotate-180 "#0-"

• Crop a GIF in-place starting at the 0-based (X,Y) coordinates (in the following example: 1,8) and then a width by height (in the following example, 34x24 pixels) for all frames:
  

  gifsicle -b --unoptimize -O2 input_output.gif --crop 1,8+34x24 "#0-"
