Début

Everything important has already been said and the question is now how the meanings are arranged. The order needs to be sustainable and peaceful.

Jean Monnet said, at the end of his carreer, that the next time he will have to promote European integration, he will rather opt for a cultural path than an economic one.

In October 1945 Erno Kallai, Pal Kiss, Arpad Mezei, Imre Pan and Lajos Kassak published the manifesto of the European School in Hungary:
“Europe and the old European ideals lay in ruin. Until now, the term ‘European ideal’ meant a Western European ideal. From now on, we must consider the entire Europe. The New Europe could be built as a synthesis of the East and the West. In 1945 AD everyone must decide whether to participate in realising the idea of ‘being a European’. We must create a vital European art, one that will describe a new relationship to life, to an individual, and to a society. That objective characterises the activities of the European School. This goal serves as a guiding light for our public lectures, exhibitions and publications. We seek the philosopher’s stone, knowing full well that such a stone is not a chemical substance, but a living idea that can come into being only through the efforts of an individual and a society.”

From ‘Selim oder die Gabe der Rede’: “He who speaks never just expresses the meaning of his words but also his own meaning – he is telling his own story in the very same motion. He shouldn’t be afraid of but rather embrace and seek this transparency. Only then he will find attention, more: his attitude elevates the content.”
