„Heute morgen mußte ich daran denken, daß reif sein soviel bedeutet, wie zweifach jung sein. Reife ist doppelte Jugend. Jede reife Frucht bezeugt es. Wie etwa der Pfirsich. Gelb im Fleisch, die eine Seite krapplackrot, die andere orange. Herausfordernd und begehrenswert. Reif sein ist das Größte, sagt Shakespeare, ripeness is all. Nichts ist jünger als so eine kokette Rundheit.“ (Béla Hamvas, Silentium)
 
 
 Stéphane Lallemand, L'odalisque blonde (d'après Boucher), 2007
 
What. in ill thoughts again? Men must endure
Their going hence, even as their coming hither:
Ripeness is all. Come on.

  6. I had problems recently with my boiler, it was malfunctioning and I didn’t know what to do but then my friend told me about this gasboilerspareparts.com/biasi-boiler-heating-spare-parts , it helped me a lot, I managed to get the part that was broken in the first place and replace it. Now it is working like never before.
