The last blog about Rennes will be posted as soon as possible. I've been very busy. mil scuzi. In the meanwhile, some quotes that hit me these past few weeks during study time.
"Aucune verité est absolute. Première verité.
"Les riches donnent, les pauvres partagent.": sounds like Robin Hood right?
"Trust: make it your guiding principle, nurture it because once you lose it, you will never recover it." that's one that could be applied to anyone anywhere at anytime all over the world
"It's not better, nor is it worse. This city, this country, these people, this experience, it is just different..." AFS-style, but also Erasmus style.
Arsène's class
- Quotation course I: "a sharde experience is more than a bond, it's a joint discovery of unexpected possibilities" (Zéldin Théorode)
- Quotation course X: "la culture, c'est ce qui fait que la vie est plus importante que la culture" (Barrow Robert)
- Quotation course X: "la culture est un système de signification incaées dans des sumboles que nous devons interpreter"(Clofford Geertz)
- "Le monde entier est la patrie de tout le monde" (Erasmus)
- "Trouvez une place et une présence respectées, singuliéres et fraternelles dans le monde" (Arsène)
Culture is indeed something people can talk about for hours, days, weeks or their entire lifetime, without really saying it straight forward. I think you could just state it like "Culture is all of us, it's what we are and what we do. But more than anything it's why we do the things we do, that defines us and our culture" haha, that sounds deep, and to be hones I just made it up.
And an oldie to finish: "Your Christ is a Jew. Your car is Japanese, your pizza is italian and your couscous algérian. Your démocracy is Greek. Your coffee is Brasilian, your watch is Swiss, your shirt is Indian, your radio is Korean, your holidays are Turkish, Tunisian or Marrocan. Your numbers are Arabic, your writing is Latin or Germanic. And... you look at your neighbor as if he was a stranger!"
